They were people with a grudge. Just listen to Tony Windsor's recent spray at Tony Abbot during the August session of parliament.Yes correct but the nats are pretty out there in those regions hence ripe for Liberals / independents the independents are still conservative just not right wing.

They also wanted to be remembered as something more than just being independents. They wouldn't have got that backing a Coalition government.
Windsor had worked with conservative NSW state governments previously with out reservation Nick Greiner government being one.
He knows Abbott well and picked his flaws perfectively the biggest problem was Windsor figured.
Abbott would run back to an election had he formed government.
The question is how bad was Abbott for two conservative independents to side with Labor.
This has largely been ignored by anyone who has been happy to label them with any nasty agenda.
Julia Gillard of course is such a saint that she would never do that even if it was to her political advantage.He knows Abbott well and picked his flaws perfectively the biggest problem was Windsor figured.

Tony Windsor did not support the Coalition because he wanted a carbon tax and would only deal with a party that would introduce a carbon tax regardless of what they said to the electorate beforehand. It's there in parliamentary speech I refered to earlier, along with the obvious bile towards Tony Abbott.

The decision to do something about climate change, whether it be through an Emission Trading Scheme or a carbon pricing arrangement, but to put a price on carbon, was a condition of the formation of government.
The Leader of the Opposition is well aware of the discussions that were held. It was a condition of the formation of government. He was prepared to do anything if in fact he'd been called upon, and if he had been asked to put in place an Emission Trading Scheme or a carbon tax for that matter, he would well have done it.
The fact that he wasn't asked is something of very, very good judgement in my view.
I guess what you've really been wanting to know is who will form government. Before making a statement as to how I will vote, I'd just like to thank both leaders for the way in which they have treated us as individuals through this process.
Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi has suggested legalising same sex marriage would lead to demands for bestiality and polyamory to also be sanctioned.

It is fair to say the tone of political debate has never, ever been so vituperative. That applies to both sides, but it applies more particularly to the right.
Meanwhile, Australia's media accuse the present "disgraceful, contemptible, corrupt government" of continuing "its ever downward spiral of lies and criminal acts". This would seem, however, not supported by objective analysis.
Guess who has the most ministers required to stand down or are sacked?
And this summery

Much bigger worries on the left, imo.
Craig Thomson? The Offender Craig Thomson MP - Maintain the Rage
And Gillard? The AWU Scandal - Hedley Thomas and in a nutshell: The AWU Scandal - a quick synopsis
IFocus, all that shows is, Labor memebers have enough dirt on each other to hold their position no matter what.
Appears most have missed the point that of the perpetrated fraud of a lying over blown argument put forward by Abbott simply isn't true.
Ministers get sacked because of the pressure applied by oppositions to stuff ups or inappropriate conduct / decisions.
You may hate the government for all sorts of reasons but the claims of disgraceful, contemptible, corrupt government" of continuing "its ever downward spiral of lies and criminal acts isn't true but a refection of how poorly the current political debate is.
Craig Thomson of course represents the pinnacle of the fine qualities anyone can have in public life,You may hate the government for all sorts of reasons but the claims of disgraceful, contemptible, corrupt government" of continuing "its ever downward spiral of lies and criminal acts isn't true but a refection of how poorly the current political debate is.
