FED: Joyce offered frontbench job, again=2

Senator Joyce later told AAP he would never accept a frontbench position while in the Senate.

"I understand completely the discipline and requirements of cabinet solidarity, so
to avoid that conflict it's better to avoid that position," he said.

"If you're in the lower house it's a completely different kettle of fish."

Senator Joyce said he "humbly declined" Mr Turnbull's offer in September "and I remain
humbly declined".
