Really. No axe to grinned at all IMO .
New South Wales political career
In the 1991 election, Windsor was first elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the Member for Tamworth. Windsor was originally a National Party candidate for this seat, but allegations in regards to a drink-driving incident arose on the day of his pre-selection, and the National Party endorsed another candidate.[4][5] In spite of the allegations, Windsor won as an independent candidate and held the seat for ten years. Windsor was one of the four independents who held the balance of power after Nick Greiner's Liberal-National Coalition lost 10 seats, resulting in a hung parliament. His decision to support the Coalition ensured a second term in government for Greiner. After an adverse ruling by the Independent Commission Against Corruption against Greiner for offering former minister Terry Metherell a patronage job, Windsor and the other three independents gave Greiner an ultimatum to resign or face a no-confidence motion in Parliament, and Greiner resigned.[6][7]
Windsor resigned from the state parliament in September 2001 in order to contest the federal seat of New England.[1]
