According to this article it looks like Windsor doesn't use a computer so it begs the question how much he really understands the NBN and it's dubious costings:

If he sided with Abbott he still wouldn't be able to use one.

Swish!

In fairness to Windsor, it's not like a medical degree is a prerequisite for Health Minister.

Interesting the election was close

Labor and the coalition had the same opportunity to form Government with endorsement from the three independents.

Not just any three independents but men who have been in the system for some time.

So why couldn't they trust Tony?

Didn't you read the news, IFocus? It appears that one of the main reasons they chose labor because they are less likely to want another election soon. When Windsor was asked by the press why that was so, he explained that the Coalition were more likely to win another election in their own right. The journo's were quite stunned that they had chosen the side they thought would be least wanted by voters.

I did post the article link somewhere at ASF in the last couple of days and heard it for myself on the televised press conference.

It didn't appear to be an issue of trust with Tony. In fact, both Windsor and Oakeshott commented that they found both leaders had been very good with them.

Who said they could not trust Tony?

How do you know Tony did not conspire with the indies to give Gillard a Government which is bound to become disfunctional? I think you will find Tony has outsmarted Joolya in the long run.

A comment was made recently, whoever won the 2010 election will not win the next whenever.

I went to a BULL SALE in Gin Gin once. This big heap of long legged bull came out for all to see. Massive horns and BIG testicles. The bidding went wild. About $270 a kilo this bull went for. This thing weighed about 500 kilos BTW.

Buyer was happy with his purchase. Walked the bull into the float. Damn thing tripped over and broke it's leg. Very expensive steak we have just bought.

Sound familiar??? Anybody ???

Its all about democracy.

Labor won. Good on them.

They are welcome to lead this rabble of a parliament.

That guy Oakeshott is a complete tosser. He wouldn't last 5 minutes in the Ross Island Hotel in Townsville.

My contacts in the ALP Right in NSW tell me that the Federal Election is lost for them, and that Tony Abbott will be Prime Minister in two days time.

Came oh so close GG...but as i said all along "the smart money was always on Labor " as was always reflected in the betting markets....and we all know, or at least should know that the market is never wrong.

No surprises here...

from the SMH: All bets are off, says PM

KEY government promises made before the election no longer necessarily apply because of the ''new environment'' created by the hung parliament, Julia Gillard says
