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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
