FW: shooting

[Denis Wilson <>]

Hi Mark

Thanks for that link.

There never has been any doubt on where Fred Nile was standing on this shooting.
Basically, he opposes "on principle" (if that's not too inappropriate term to use, regarding his views) anything which the Greens propose. 

I remember him stating exactly that, on a bill to protect farmers on the Liverpool Plains from coal mining. He acknowledged he opposed what was happening (Coal mining on top-quality farming land) which the Greens opposed. But he could not bring himself to support anything they proposed (even if he agreed with the specific objectives of the Bill).
The headline gives you the tone of his views re the Greens: "Frenzied Greens Fight Feral Control".

This could be another line of attack on the proposed shooting in parks and
reserves in NSW. Goes to show just how Christian the Rev Fred is! I have
deleted the original senders details (I hope).

Cheers,
Mark

Writing to Govt ministers on shooting is good.  The political reality, as
far as I can see it, is that the Fred Nile group needed to support the
shooter stuff for it to go through the upper house.  So perhaps it is worth
haranguing them as well.

But reading the following suggests they are toeing the government line.
