Long term resident from the seat of Kennedy are we?

The bloke holds a double digit swing in that seat and has done for at least a couple of decades.

A rather stupid comment.

Good on him. It's ironic, seeing that he was the only true independent in the House of Reps, but he is fair dinkum, true to his constituents and actually seems to care about Australia and its people. Come next election, there will be NO independents in the House of Reps.

That would be hilarious to see Oakshot & Windsor try and form their own party.

What makes you so sure of that!?

Is it not equally likely that many local communities will be excited by the opportunity for greater self-empowerment and political influence at the national level - including focus on addressing local issues of infrastructure deficits and socio-economic disadvantage - as has been delivered by the example of those Independents who enabled the formation of the current minority federal govt!?

Heck, there's even a fairly good chance that the existing independents will be returned to office!

There were only four "independents", Tony Windsor, Andrew Wilkie, Rob Oakeshott and Bob Katter. Now there are three. Tony Crook is a WA National, and Adam Bandt a Green. They won't be re-elected. IMO, Wilson Tuckey or a new Lib wll win back the seat. The Libs won't give preferences to Badnt next election.

Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott have betrayed their electorates, and will not be re-elected. The voters demonstrated that in Port Macquarie and Tamworth. Both independents (who lose their seats) received hndreds of calls saying that people who voted for the independents at the Federal election felt betrayed, and from now on, would only ever vote for the Nats, in the state and federally.

I admire your confidence, if not your 'logic'!

Roll Eyes

It's not confidence, just knowledge that they will both be cast to he scrap heap come next election.

creep, I think that you have Windsor confused with Katter Katter is the decent MP of Kennedy, who sided with the Coalition. Windsor is the traitor MP of New England, who betrayed his constituents and sided with Labor. He is also so concerned about our environment, that he sold his farm to a coal mining company.

Yes you have made rather a stupid comment.
Katter was initially from the National Party for 10 years, you conveniently forgot to mention that.
And you also conveniently forgot tomention the alliance that Katter took up with the GALP - something that his constituents did NOT want and wish to remind him of at the next opportunity.

Im not so sure you are correct. I think Katter knows that independants of all flavours will be a dead duck, so may have formed the party so as not to be an independant. I respect the man for saying no and having some choice words, to labor.

No, he sided with the Coalition, and is 100% agains the carbon tax. I don't know why someone made that.

Their constituents did not want them to agree to GALP policies otherwise they'd have voted that way in the first place.
You really think that they can hide and their constituents won't know? Hey we all know already!

Unfortunately, Windsor and Oakeshott have tainted the independent 'brand'. In the recent NSW state election, 3/4 of the independent MPs in Windsor and Oakeshott's regons were thrashed by the Nationals. The only one who won, apparently made a point of not being aligned with Windsor.
