Both Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott were too spineless to face the electorate after their decisions to support the ill-fated Gillard government. The pair voted against their electorate's wishes to support a period of fiscal ineptness, their weakness delivered the most dysfunctional government in Australia's history.
What ensured was the most unstable period of government in the modern era, that is a big call after the chaos of Kevin Rudd and incompetence of Gough Whitlam. Rob Oakeshott stated that he would only support the minority government if Julia Gillard remained leader in 2010, when Bill Shorten reinstated Kevin Rudd as leader of the Labor party and Prime Minister of Australia in 2012, Oakeshott, however, refused to remain true to his word.
These fools picked the loser, we endured a further three years of incompetence, dysfunction and failure only to have Tony Abbott emphatically win government three later and begin the process of rebuilding the nation. Now, collectively, due to the decision of these two, we are the losers.
