I think Windsor let it get to his head holding the balance of power. One thing Joyce does have is being a man of the people: essential for longevity. Hawkie had it, even Rudd to a point, but you need more.

Morrison has a mission on emissions reductions - firstly the right wing of his own party and then the Nats. Turnbull underestimated that and it was part of his downfall. Joyce would be telling his constituents that he’s ‘fighting for them and their jobs’ regardless of any other benefit for the planet for instance.
Windsor used his position to get things done for his electorate. Joyce canned the projects Windsor had won approval for. That's the spiteful side of the coalition, they love to get even.

It happens everywhere. Remember in NSW terms when Iemma announced the original NW Metro for Sydney? As soon as he was gone, Rees and then Keneally turned it into the CBD Metro - a train to nowhere that thankfully wasn’t built. All they managed to do was spend $500m reimbursing property owners and developers who’d been contracted when it was canned. I’m wary of all of them, always have been.

His voters are rusted on. They dumped a great politician in Tony Windsor for Barnaby. He has the advantage of parading his role of Deputy PM, as if it has influence on getting thigs done for his electorate - but in reality, he does little for them. They are also spoon fed from birth never to trust Labor or the Greens, even though those parties would probably do more to improve their conditions.

For the above reasons, Joyce knows he has nothing to worry about, and can go on looking after his mining donors without risk of losing his seat.
Ironic isn't it that Barnababy is now complaining about social media gossip and innuendo, and using his daughter for publicity, when his campaign against Windsor was based on a slur that Tony was having an affair and was apparently mistreating his wife.

Shortly thereafter Joyce actually does do all of that in reality.

Windsor is still seeking a public apology from him and his campaign director but Barnyard has the local paper and business leaders in hand, so that won't happen. Plus the guy has no principles.

Windsor seemed that rare breed.... an honorable politician.

Extinct characteristic nowadays :grinning:

Scotty from marketing copying the far right republicans and trying to bring in voter suppression voter ID cards

I guess when you don't actually have policies, have fucked up everything and are scared shitless that your dirty laundry is going to come out if an ICAC is established by the next government, then you'll do anything to win the next election

darryl would surely made his statements before the hearing on the proviso of immunity from prosecution, he would have sold Gladys out to save his own arse
