Mr Windsor has every right to be concerned considering his $1.9 billion agreement with Julia Gillard for regional infrastructure was to be funded from the mining tax.

Best of luck Tony!
I was a resident of Tamworth for 60 years and recall Mr Windsor referring to the previous governments regional policy as the “National Party Regional Rorts” scheme. This scheme funded the TREC.
