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 Aston   Political reporter

     

    Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce is in for a dog fight to retain his seat,  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,  held the seat for 12 years until he retired in 2013.

    Former New England MP Tony Windsor will run against Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce at the federal election.

    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,  who counts business titans like Gina Rinehart and Harold Mitchell as friends.

     

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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
