individual,
What makes you think Tony Windsor would have been more damaging to the nation than Barnaby Joyce?

Aidan,
If you see the need to ask that question then there's a desperate need to open your eyes & mind. Windsor is nothing but a self-serving hanger-on like most bureauc(r)rats.

Aidan,
Come to think of it, Joyce only started an affair with a woman that he liked, fancied, loves.
What bad policy decisions did he make due to this involvement ?
Isn't it fair to say that it was the media with the backing of the opposition that interfered with Joyce's ability to perform his ministerial duties ?
Windso on the other hand gave us a Labor Government.

Barnaby has shot his blog in more ways than one. His party has asked him to reconsider his position in parliament. I doubt that they would call again on a hasbeen like Windsor, but there is talk of ex-leader, John Anderson, being recalled.

Individual,

Am I right in thinking that your description of Tony Windsor as "nothing but a self-serving hanger-on" is completely unrelated to any objective criteria, and 100% the result of your animosity to him because of the decision he made in 2010?

Windsor had the choice between a Labor government and an Abbott government, and negotiated with both potential governments before he decided. Having now experienced both, I think it's safe to say he made the right choice.

Whereas Joyce is a dud. 'Tis quite sad, really - he was an excellent MP in the later Howard years, but now he's just an LNP stooge who seems to have lost the ability to think for himself. And he's so out of touch he's not even taking the issue of water theft seriously!

But AFAIK none of Barnaby's bad policy decisions were due to his personal affairs.

Aidan,
Are you trying to tell us that the insane media pressure by the insane media aren't getting people down ?
As far as Windsor goes, isn't it his self-serving that we are now copping the consequences of the Labor failures which in turn ensured that Liberal failures got to helm ? Never once forget that elections aren't won, they're lost because of the incompetence & mismanaging by the encumbent. So, when an opposition gets into power what do they inherit & can't rectify ? Their own sabotage !
