Subject: " The Heavy Weight Political Combatants ".

Tony Windsor ? The New England Electorate " Contender or Pretender "

Charles Edward Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie, Pretender to the Scottish, Irish and English
Thrones, or in this case the New England Electorate??.

In the Red corner dressed in a vivid green combination we have the Ex Heavy Weight for the

electorate of New England the so-called independent Tony Windsor who relinquished his title

in September 2013 without throwing a punch and refusing to enter the ring on the grounds

of an undefined illness and the general exhaustion of himself and his team.

However in my view living in the New England electorate and having a lot to do with the so-called

"Grey Nomad Army",I consider myself to be one of the"Brethren",who without a doubt are 

the most effective and comprehensive"Network"in Aussie, far exceeding the expectations of 

the likes of ASIO, where the majority opinion by far was that the real reason this "Heavy Weight 

Champion"for the New England refused to step into the ring was because he was more than 

convinced what the very negative reaction from the crowd would be after he changed to a very 

unpopular"Training Camp"that trained and fought by a very different set of rules without letting 

his fans and supporters know off his intentions prior to doing so.

But never-the-less it would appear that this aging "Political Pugilist " has recovered from his 

mysterious ill heath and Windsor and his so-called team led by his wife Lyn have recovered their 

lust for the political fight game and are encouraging Tony Windsor to put on the gloves again 

and climb back into the ring.

Maybe the considerable prize money Windsor accumulated from the political fight fans who by the rules of the game were compelled via their sporting funded taxes to contribute too was not adequate for a decent retirement and therefore is going for more? even if that is only just for the up front money for turning up and having a go providing enough sporting fans support him?

However maybe this " Aging Political Pugilist " has had to many political blows to the head and 

body and it has effected his judgment in regard to the effect that this brutal political fight game 

is a much younger persons game and with his political enemies just waiting for the opportunity 

to use their best 16 ounce glove on him and deliver that knock out blow at the first possible time, 

Windsor might find that his once duck, weave and his feet movement ain't what they used to be??.

Barnaby Joyce the current Federal Member for The New England, Electorate.

In the Blue Corner we have our current New England Heavy Weight Champion wearing his usual 

country style brown headgear by the name of Barnaby Joyce who won the September 2013 title 

fight taking on all on comers and won a very politically brutal fight convincingly with a points 

decision of 21 points above his nearest rivals and that being one of the highest point scores his 

camp has achieved.

Barnaby has been in the political fight game now for a few decades and is a very accomplished 

fighter and has won many honours and titles the likes of becoming the team leader of the Aussie 

political country fighters team who regularly well and truly hold their own against their political 

Aussie city counterparts which has led to Barnaby being elected by his piers to be the second 

highest ranked political fighter in Aussie!

People Barnaby's honours, titles and rankings are only what " Aging political Pugilists " like Tony Windsor could dream of.

So-called political independents are only effective for their constituents when there is:

1. A hung parliament where neither major political parties have sufficient seats to have a majority 

and rely on so-called independents and minor parties to get their legislation through.

2. A minority government where the opposition has more seats but again with the alliance of the 

so-called independents and the minor parties it stops the opposition party taking over the 

government benches and Treasury.

This I believe is how Tony Windsor has built up this persona, identity of being a "Can do pollie " 

by playing the " Political Mercenary Game ".

Tony Windsor although initially a National Party candidate decided to run in the 1991 election as a so-called independent in the NSW Legislative Assembly, lower house, as the Member for Tamworth after being dumped by the Nat's just prior to pre-selection as a result of allegations of a drink driving incident and as it would appear the Nat's after holding the New England seat for decades had reached their used by date with the voters so Windsor won the seat where I am informed by many of those present at the time that the Nat's where so on the nose with the voters " Mick's Dog - not mine " could have won the seat if it had put it's paw up.

Nick Greiner, Ex NSW Premier.

John Hatton Ex NSW Independent.

Clover Moore Ex NSW Independent.

Peter MacDonald Ex NSW Independent.

This " Political Mercenary Game " I believe Windsor along, but not to the same extent I gather, 

as John Hatton, Clover Moore and Peter Macdonald after that disastrous decision of the then 

NSW Premier Nick Greiner to take a snap poll on the 25/5/1991 where afterwards he and the 

Liberals found that they were one seat short of a majority because of the massive swings against 

them and the loss of seats, so Windsor, and to some lesser extent the other independents, helped 

the Greiner mob to have a second term in office as a hung parliament.

Sure the so-called NSW independents were I gather instrumental in introducing ICAC, which turned 

out to be part of Nick Greiners demise as Premier, and the 4 year term in NSW but possibly only 

because of their influence in a hung parliament which all came to an end when in 1995 Bob Carr, 

one of the longest serving NSW Premiers, and the Labor Party won office with a majority ensuring 

that the like's of Windsor etc; became just lame ducks politically.

However it would appear that this now " Aging Political Pugilist " Windsor was not happy losing his influence in the NSW Parliament as a " Lame Duck " so in 2001 he resigned from the NSW Parliament 

to contest the Federal seat of New England which had been held by the Nat's since 1922 and again 

as the Nat's were so on the nose with the voters, Windsor, with the help of both the preferences 

from One Nation and the Labor Party won comfortably and again I have been informed by many 

that were present at the time that in this case a"Drovers Dog " could have won it the Nat's were 

so disliked by the New England Voters.

Therefore surely a great amount of credit must be given to Barnaby Joyce for winning the seat back for the Nat's and with such a big 21 % margin.

Windsor is credited with being the" King Maker", "Political Mercenary " that enabled the Labor Gillard - Rudd governments to stay in power and who were one of the most dysfunctional, faction riddled,economic vandals in regard to the wanton disregard and lack of good governance when it came to the Aussie Nations hard to come by treasure and financial well being which has left this 

nation with an international credit card debt that our future generations will have ,? if ever, great 

difficulty in paying off!!!

However Windsor gave no indication to the New England voters prior to being elected in 2010, 

where like most Aussie country areas is largely of a conservative voting nature, that he would sell 

out their conservative views and vote to a Greenie/Labor minority government in preference to 

an alliance with the Abbott Liberal/National parties.

Windsor's main political platforms for a come back appear to be:

The NBN in rural areas.

Aussie has a land mass that is equivalent to 5.5% of the total worlds land mass and although our 

population is only now just under 24 million the distances between major cities and communities 

is massive and across 100's of local, state and federal jurisdictions costing many billions for which 

finance and funding has to be acquired and maintained and to think that a lowly so-called federal 

independent, even in a hung or minority parliament, representing the electorate of New England 

could exert any real influence is not only fanciful but to state so is a political con job.

Climate change.

It would appear from what Windsor is stating at the moment that he is stuck in the past and even 

though the Aussie population including many business organisations have benefited greatly 

financially from the stopping of the " Windsor,Labor and Greenie Carbon Tax " he regrets it's 

demise and would like it reintroduced as his Labor, Greenie mates would.

What the likes of the Windsor's,Labor and Greenies don't say is:

1. That Aussie apart from being 5.5% of the worlds land mass is only second to the south pole 

in regard to being the driest continent on Earth and as such lacks largely the moisture and 

humidity to create or own climate conditions and as such the majority of our weather patterns 

are created outside our borders therefore anything we Aussies do internally is as I have stated 

before like " A Pimple on an Elephants Bum " and again if Windsor and the like, Greenies, Labor 

etc; use it to encourage us to vote for them then it is a political con job!!

2. We are continually informed by the likes of the " Windsor's,Labor and Greenies etc: " that our 

1.5% contribution to global warming means we have one of the highest per capita contribution 

world wide.

   However what they conveniently don't tell you is that the 1.5% contribution and the highest per capita is based mostly on what we ' Produce ' contributing to world global warming ie: coal, 

gas,aluminum, beef- farting cattle creating methane, and list goes on, ' NOT ' what we Aussies 

consume and thereby ' omit ' into the atmosphere which by world standards ie; India, China,USA 

to mention but a few, is miniscule and to use that argument for us to vote for them, especially 

as not doing those things would have very serious consequences for Aussies financial welfare, 

would be another political con job!!

Yes it would appear that the world is having climate problems but just how much is created by the 

actions of us humans and the possible problems 10, 20, 50 years from now is still debatable

David Gonski.

The Gonski Education System.

Back in 2010 it was estimated in 2010 dollars that to fund the Gonski Education system by state,

territory and commonwealth governments it would cost some where, lets face it these government 

estimates are rarely correct, more up than down, in the region of $34.10 billion over 6 years.

Now let's face it people the Labor government then were running big deficits they are twice as bad, 

if not more, now and climbing, and considering education is a function of the states and territories 

and not the commonwealth ? what influence would a so-called independent by the name of Windsor 

for little old New England have compared to a Minister, especially a Deputy Prime Minister and a 

leader of the National Party who the Liberals rely on in order to pass legislation, even if Windsor is 

relying on a hung or minority government to reinstate his political importance and influence??.

Plus it is good and well to have a great education system which ofcourse is essential if we as a nation 

are to prosper.

However, what is the point of churning out highly educated students with numerous degrees when 

it is estimated that in less than 20 years many academic qualifications will be obsolete specially in 

accounting, economics, law, IT and many more subjects because of technology and the lack of 

employment due to the shrinking job market and jobs being outsourced off shore??

I am led to believe that we in Aussie have an ever increasing bunch of academics with expensive 

degrees that will never be paid for unless these people earn over say $54,000 pa and I doubt that 

by being casual waiters, cooks, kitchen hands and cabbies??.

So how is a so-called New England independent going to any where near solve that from outside the 

federal cabinet??

Mining.

Now there is no doubt that neither Barnaby or Windsor want the Water Shenwa Coal mine to go 

ahead on the Liverpool Plains, although I am sure the 100's of people that would be employed by 

the project plus the local business, councils and the NSW State Government from a royalty point 

of view for funding hospitals, police, roads, bridges etc; may have a different view.

Windsor, when interviewed on the ABC 7.30 Report on the 10/3/16, stated his solution to stopping 

the Water Shenwa mine going ahead was words to the effect " Civil Disobedience "??.

Well Tony Windsor, potential Member for New England, define " Civil Disobedience " if we are to 

solve our problems in such away when we Tax Payers are paying millions to eliminate domestic 

violence killing a women/wife per week and we condemn a bunch of Muslims for them causing 

" Civil Disobedience " in Sydney over what they believe was an insult to their religion, which I might 

add I condemned!! however my point is where do we draw the line when we take the law into our 

own hands " Kangaroo Court Style " and where a potential " Law Maker " as a Member for New 

England is promoting " Civil Disobedience " of any kind or however we define it??

However ofcourse Windsor, according to the Australian dated the 28/8/2010, has no problem selling a 25 to 30 acres portion of his farm Cintra at Werris Creek to Werris Creek Coal in February 2010 

for what was estimated to be $12,300 a hectare seemingly three times greater than nearby farmers 

were paid who had already sold to the same company and for an overall price of $4.625 million even 

though according to Windsor it was on a gravel ridge the type of land that should be mined and 

not the fertile land of the Liverpool plains ?? not knowing any better I will have to accept Windsor's 

word for it??.

As with any other politically figures in and out of politics these days, Windsor has lived very comfortably for at least the past 20 years receiving Tax Payer funded salary, perks of office- living away allowances, government transport, air fares, world famous superannuation schemes and the list goes on for both his positions one way or the other in State and Federal parliaments, in fact still does with the after politics perks of office superannuation etc;.

Now that said, when we consider Aussie still has increasing problems from the cradle to the grave, 

and a bloke like the previous " Ex Heavy Weight Champion " Tony Windsor the Ex Member for New 

England states the following on both the ABC and in various Aussie media:

" Windsor's biggest regret of his parliament was the handling of the asylum seeker issue "

Quote:

All of us should be ashamed by how this has been handled.

Unquote:

He went on:

Quote:

I thank my supporters for their extraordinary efforts and fun we had.

Unquote.

Quote:

I think I've achieved what I set out to achieve. ( no mention what?? )

Unquote.

So it would appear that after receiving 20 plus years of hard to come by and scare Tax Payers funds 

the total sum of Tony Windsor's regrets is for a bunch of non-tax paying, non-contributing, welfare 

dependent and in most cases illegally in the country, foreigners??.

That to me people ' SHOUTS LOUD ' of a bloke that has lost not only a sense of reality but also has 

little ' EMPATHY ' for the real people in Aussie that have been, and still are, the back bone of this 

great nation who as a result of the actions, or the lack of actions, by people like Tony Windsor are 

doing it tough in every which way??!

Anyway people ? how about this as a ' Reference '??:

Teflon Billy Shorten - The Federal Labor Opposition Leader, Union Heavy Weight, Homosexual 

Activist and alleged rapist.

Teflon Billy Shorten on the ABC 7.30 Report on video 1.34 minutes into the program regarding 

the battle for the New England Federal seat between Barnaby Joyce the current member and 

the contender Tony Windsor:

Quote;

" There will be two people running in New England for parliament one is a respectable politician 

the other is the Deputy Prime Minister "

Unquote.

This is from a pollie that according to Newspoll from the 3 - 6 March 2016 rates only as preferred 

Prime Minister by 21% of the voters and has a dissatisfaction rating of 55%.

Therefore there can be no doubt where the Labor preferences, plus the Greenies ofcourse, will 

go, especially as neither Labor or the Greenies have any real chance of winning the seat in their 

own right therefore will endeavour to get their colleague, mate and true believing millionaire 

lefty over the line disguised as a conservative.

As far as I am concerned this bloke Tony Windsor is an old pollie past his used by date and trying 

to relive past political glories and will say what appeals to the populous and do most things to 

achieve his goals and therefore cannot be trusted, which in my book applies to all pollies 

however especially to the likes of Tony Windsor! who in my popular view deceived the voters 

in New England in 2010.

However people if your happy with this unsubstantiated waffle from pollies who have a hidden 

political agenda that is at odds with your values then don't whinge when you wake up after 

election night realising you ' TICKED ' the wrong box because you have got them, like it or not, 

for the next 3 - 4 years and like the Windsor, Labor and Greenie team prior to September 2013 

they can do a lot a national damage in a very short time!!
