	Tony Windsor's Bogus Survey a stunt worthy of Evel Knievel
		In particular, Mr Windsor's repeated attempts to attach credibility to his Bogus Survey are reminiscent of Mr Knievel's numerous attempts to jump across the Snake River Canyon- that is, doomed to failure.
		Mr Windsor's credibility gulf is immediately apparent through the one-sided nature of his Survey and its blatant misrepresentation of the Government's policy on the further sale of Telstra.
		Mr Windsor also ignores the power of governments to regulate to guarantee such technologies, a constitutional power which cannot be taken away, and conveniently overlooks that the Government already successfully regulates a raft of privately-owned phone companies such as Optus and AAPT.

	Windsor's bribery claims supported by his staffers - National - www.smh.com.au
		Allegations of electoral bribery made by the NSW independent politician, Tony Windsor, against the Deputy Prime Minister, John Anderson, and Senator Sandy Macdonald were independently corroborated at a Senate inquiry yesterday into electoral rorts.
		Mr Windsor's campaign manager, Stephen Hall, said a Tamworth businessman had offered inducements on behalf of the two National Party politicians for the independent MP to leave politics at a meeting on May 19 last year.
		Tony Windsor said to Greg Maguire that he was offended by the suggestion, and that John Anderson and Sandy Macdonald and the National Party should also know better than to have the proposition put to him."

		“Tony Windsor, the stoic Tamworth independent, meanwhile is being ignored in his attempts to keep alive his pursuit of the Nationals' leader, John Anderson,” Ramsey wrote.
		Windsor and Maguire had been pushing for a national show venue for horses and livestock to be built in Tamworth, a project rejected two years ago by Anderson because of doubts about its viability.
		Windsor did remove himself, and during the election campaign Anderson announced a $6 million payment for the centre, congratulating local Nationals for their work in supporting the project.

		Windsor, who employed a Jet Ranger helicopter for his recent federal campaign, humiliated the National Party with a resounding victory in the 53,800 sq km seat of New England – previously held safely by former party leader Ian Sinclair for 36 years and by the party itself since 1919.
		Windsor remains convinced that “if the September 11 terrorist attacks had not taken place, there would be two to three more independents in Canberra, making for a much closer federal parliament”.
		And Windsor remains contemptuous of the National Party’s Senate preselection system, whereby people “who would never normally be elected to anything can brown-nose their way into office, have absolutely no idea what their constituency thinks and feels, are bone lazy and are always on the sniffer trail of any available overseas trip”.

	Australia's deputy PM fights bribery claim
		Anderson immediately denied the claims made late Wednesday by MP Tony Windsor under the protection of parliamentary privilege and Prime Minister John Howard said his deputy had his full support.
		In a statement to parliament, Windsor claimed the bribe was offered to him in May at a meeting in the town of Tamworth, in New South Wales state, by a local businessman and a senator from Anderson's National Party.
		Windsor said businessman Greg Macguire and Senator Sandy Macdonald had been sent by Anderson to find out "what it would take" to get him not to stand for re-election in the seat of New England.

		Mr Windsor also ignores the power of governments to regulate to guarantee such technologies, a constitutional power which cannot be taken away.

		Only someone with Tony's background in the business could get away with naming a promotion after themselves (not even Vince McMahon has dared to try that one), yet Condello's TCW (Tony's Championship Wrestling) is putting on another great show coming up on Friday, Dec. 5 at the Coliseum Nite Club at the CanadInns Windsor Park.

		December 4, 2004 09:28 PM The government's ban on Tony Windsor speaking at the opening of a local aged care centre today was the trigger for the Democrats to sign up for a Senate inquiry into alleged election rorting of the Regional Partnerships Program grants.
		Tony's name had been omitted though he has been involved in the project from its beginning having attended the initial public meeting in Bundarra ten years ago.
		The people of New England's overwhelming choice of Windsor as their MP counts for so little that now he's even banned from the official party at the opening of facilities in his electorate to which he's devoted his commitment and energy.

		In 1967 Tony left Bermuda to move back to London, and briefly became an offshore pirate - on Britain Radio 355 - an MOR/pop station in the same stretch of water as Radio London and Caroline; this station was starting to get real recognition with the recent indoctrination of the legendary Tony Windsor as manager.
		After the whole project finished in 1988, Tony joined Kiss FM for a brief period as a pirate, and then (having assisted with Kiss’ application) as a legal presenter in 1990, presenting two weekend morning shows; later he did an early Thursday evening slot, followed by a late Sunday evening slot.
		Currently Tony can be heard Monday to Thursday morning's on Solar between 10.00 & 13.00 playing the same variety of soul, jazz and funk from today and yesteryear that he has always been known for, complete with the “Soulful Slowie Segment”, and the “Glorious Obscurity” spot.

		His statement undermines Mr Windsor's claim that he was approached by Mr Maguire on behalf of Mr Anderson and Nationals Senator Sandy Macdonald with an offer of a diplomatic post or "whatever it takes" to not recontest his seat at the last election.
		But Mr Windsor stood by his claims, made earlier this week in parliament, saying the allegations must be investigated and that he would not walk away from the truth.
		Mr Maguire described Mr Windsor's allegations as "offensive and untrue" and asked for an apology, saying the MP and former friend had put politics ahead of 10 years of mutual respect and mateship.

		Yet the Windsor allegations were a gripping distraction and nothing more, especially as there was a police investigation to be concluded.

		For a start, as Tony Windsor said of the bungled attempt to bribe him: "If the AFP were doing their job correctly, they would be able to ascertain, through a whole range of vehicles, the players, the process, the times and the dates that actually occurred."
		Windsor only has certain humiliation by Anderson, Howard et al to look forward to and the potentiality of losing his seat if he is proven to have lied about the incident.
		Tony Windsor has had what appears to be a pathological hatred of Anderson since Anderson beat Windsor in the National Party pre-selection for the seat of Gwydir, following the retirement of the former member, Ralph Hunt.

		If Tony Windsor was offered a diplomatic post by someone from a political party, let's hear who it was.
		So even if there was a prospect of Windsor accepting an offer of a diplomatic posting (highly unlikely), it is just about inconceivable that the Nationals would support an offer of a plum post to someone like Tony Windsor - for them, it would be the domestic political equivalent of negotiating with terrorists.
		Windsor holds New England by 8.3%, and held the state equivalent for a decade before going federal.
