The Member for New England Tony Windsor is admitting the new paradigm is just about over.

In a radio interview on radio 2TM, Mr. Windsor said he believes Labor will not win the next election.

The Nationals Senator for New South Wales John Williams said this is proof that Mr.Windsor and the Member for Lyne Rob Oakeshott made a horrible mistake in September last year when they put Labor back into power.

Senator Williams said Mr.Windsor until now had been a staunch supporter of the Labor-Greens government, but even he now concedes it is a shambles and has lost the total faith of the Australian people.

"He is a slow learner. Since he threw his lot in with Labor his electorate has been warning it was the wrong thing to do, and at the recent State election the Independent brand was belted into almost non-existence because of what happened at a Federal level.

Mr. Windsor can still redeem himself by telling the Prime Minister she no longer has his support for the carbon tax. If he continues to support the carbon tax he is complicit in the misleading statement uttered by the Prime Minister prior to the election that there would be no carbon tax under the government she Ieads", Senator Williams said.
