Independent MP Tony Windsor has decided to support the Labor Party into government, with fellow independent Rob Oakeschott expected to follow suit. The main reasons Windsor cited are broadband, climate change, and regional development. The country independents say the best bet for rural regions is to remain independent and stick up for themselves – lessons for NZ?
Perhaps one lesson for us is that in spite of the common history of the National Party and farmers, that maybe Labour can offer rural people a better deal.
