Tony Windsor, the independent member for New England, has announced that he will support a Gillard-led Labor minority government.
Windsor’s decision means it is now impossible for Tony Abbott to govern. Even if Rob Oakeshott were to support the coalition, it would only have 75 votes in the House, equal to the government.
Windsor’s decision was announced at a joint press conference with Rob Oakeshott in Parliament House. Oakeshott is speaking now.
