Joseph was a church pastor before entering politics.[1] He was elected to the open seat vacated by Michael Nali, who made an unsuccessful attempt to shift to the Southern Highlands Regional seat.[2] He was subsequently appointed Shadow Minister for the Public Service by Opposition Leader Sir Mekere Morauta.[3] He has been critical of past neglect within the Mendi area, and has pledged to push for a number of reforms, including new development initiatives, reform of the public service, improved enforcement of law and order and an end to tribal fighting.[4]
