  "account": "Vikki Campion, a News Corp columnist and the wife of federal One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce, has begun working as an advisor for the party's state executive in New South Wales ahead of the March state election. Campion, who recently married Joyce in 2023, confirmed she started her role this week, working as a contractor on a part-time basis. She had previously assisted One Nation leader and Cessnock candidate Mike Newman with a press conference in the Hunter electorate. Campion is married to Joyce, and her affiliation with One Nation is widely known through media reports. She has been working as a political contractor for six years, writing regularly and running a farm while maintaining her journalism career. Campion writes a weekly column for The Saturday Telegraph and reported that she would not disclose her work for the party in future columns. After being questioned by Guardian Australia about her role, The Daily Telegraph published an article about her new position, describing it as a \"natural extension\" of her career as a conservative commentator. Campion continues to write her weekly column for The Saturday Telegraph.",
