Barnaby the clear New England favourite as The Australian sends in its "Social Affairs" reporter

New England voters tipped to return Joyce
Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce is tipped to comfortably win the New England by-election this weekend but his primary vote could take a hit if voters punish the troubled Turnbull government.
Mr Joyce will almost certainly regain the NSW seat in the absence of a high-profile opponent when almost 110,000 voters go to the polls on Saturday.
Betting websites have Mr Joyce as the overwhelming favourite.

Low-key Barnaby Joyce campaigns under a veil of secrecy - The Australian

RICK MORTON Social Affairs reporter writes: Barnaby Joyce’s campaign for the seat of New England is in lockdown in its final days after his team received “security advice” that has seen the former deputy prime minister duck the media spotlight. Mr Joyce, who had to resign from the seat he won at last year’s federal election after it was revealed he was a dual New Zealand citizen, has continued campaigning across the electorate under a veil of secrecy. He is expected to make one official appearance today, although details are being kept under wraps.

While he is undoubtedly the star candidate in Saturday's New England by-election, Barnaby Joyce has been keeping a much lower profile in recent weeks.
He has reined in media appearances as he battles to win back the seat after being struck out by the High Court last month for being a dual New Zealand citizen.
