Saw that last night and thought it was hilarious. Essentially Barnaby was right in principle, but so wrong in the way he chose to get the message across.

Federal election 2016: Tony Windsor to run against Barnaby Joyce in seat of New England

Heath AstonĀ Ā  Political reporter

Ā 

Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce is in for a dog fight to retain his seat,Ā  with popular former independent Tony Windsor set to declare his intention to re-enter politics.

Mr Windsor has scheduled a press conference in Canberra for 10am Thursday and Fairfax Media has confirmed he will declare himself a candidate for the regional NSW seat of New England at the next election.

Mr Windsor, one of the crossbenchers who backed Julia Gillard to govern during the hung Parliament over Tony Abbott,Ā  held the seatĀ for 12 years until he retired in 2013.

When he stepped away he gave Mr Joyce a clear run to move from the Senate to the House of Representatives.

Mr Joyce holds the seat with a margin of more than 19 per cent.

In September, Fairfax Media revealed Mr Windsor was contemplating a tilt for his old seat, encouraged by seat-specific polling conducted by the CFMEU that found Mr Joyce would be under extreme pressure if he entered the race.

The polling suggested Mr Windsor would have pulled close to 38 per cent of the primary vote if an election had been called in August last year and favourable preferences could make New England a knife-edge contest.

Mr Windsor could not be contacted on Wednesday morning.

His camp is braced for a big-spending campaign by the Deputy Prime Minister,Ā  who counts business titans like Gina Rinehart and Harold Mitchell as friends.

But local issues will determine the race for New England,Ā  including the government's approval of the giant Chinese-owned Shenhua Watermark coal mine on the Liverpool Plains inside the electorate.
