MP not really looking after his electorate

09 Sep, 2010 04:00 AM
TONY Windsor claims he supports action on climate change. Why then did he sell his farm to Werris Creek coal?

He has now sided with a government that supports a new mining tax and a carbon tax that will directly effect jobs and livelihoods at that mine in his electorate.

He’s OK. He’s got his money.

He deserves to be considered as nothing more than a money-driven opportunist.

I am sure the people of New England will make their judgment at the next poll.

I think you are reading too much into it. Windsor was selling is farm (for whatever reason) and Werris Creek Coal offered him the best price. Would you reject a higher offer to sell your property based on ideology - probably not.
