tony windsor laid bare, page-13

I am disappointed with Windsor not so much for the decision he took, but for the reasoning behind the decision.

He saw Abbott as more likely to the polls early and presumably win, so Windsor went with Gillard to extend his tenure in the electorate.

Effectively Windsor has said, I know the will of the people at the next election would have been to go with Abbott, but never mind that, self interest comes first, I will back a government with no mandate which just received a massive repudiation at the polls.

If he had just said I want the NBN at all costs and left it that, I'd have more respect for him.
