Former Deputy Prime Minister Not Sure If Mistress' Child Is His, Won't Get DNA Test

Slotting this in Everything Else as we're not discussing political topics. He just happens to be a politician.
I can't keep track of Oz scandals when I'm overseas so much, but basically a rural conservative leader (and Deputy Prime Minister) bonked his then/former media adviser and she fell pregnant around that time. Everyone presumed he was the father. He resigned from the party leadership and Deputy Prime Ministership, but not Parliament.
The Left has continuously attacked him, as he was anti-gay marriage.
What we didn't know back when the scandal first broke is that he's not even sure if the mistress' kid is his. Nevertheless, he's saying he won't get a paternity test and will raise the child as his own:

...and he won't be getting a paternity test.
This is the same guy who was a revelation when he first entered politics in Australia. He took on Johnny Depp and Amber Heard and didn't give a flying fuck when the usual suspects in Hollywood and other leftist circles attacked him.
But he's willing to raise (and pay for) the child of a woman who evidently has slept around, without being sure the progeny is his?
Australia is fucking sinking fast.

Barnaby Joyce has defended his decision to publicly cast doubt on the paternity of the child his former staffer and now partner, Vikki Campion, is expecting in April, claiming they had “no choice” but to tell their story.
In an interview with Fairfax Media on Sunday the former deputy prime minister suggested the identity of the biological father was “a grey area” but said it made no difference because he intended to raise the boy as his own.
On Saturday Fairfax had quoted Joyce as denying the paternity rumours. “It’s mine, on the record, there it is,” he told journalist Mark Kenny. “And can I say, even if it wasn’t, I wouldn’t care, I’d still go through this, I’d still love him.”
