Fred Nile under fire for Facebook post about Charlotte Dawson abortion

The Christian Democratic Party MP Fred Nile has come under fire for a controversial post on his party's official Facebook page linking the death of Charlotte Dawson to a pregnancy termination during her marriage to Olympic swimmer Scott Miller.

Late on Sunday, a photograph of Dawson was posted on the Official Christian Democratic Party Facebook page along with the claim that the "poignant story" of Dawson's 1999 abortion was "left unmentioned in many obituaries".

Hahaha! lakeland... I have to agree and as for Fred Nile 'twittering'... that just about does me in

Seriously I hate the man, he goes around with his foot in his mouth and thinks it's a great way to be, and has done so for decades, why is he still taken seriously?

Of course cyber bullying should be stopped, but where do you draw the line?

I have been racking my brain to where I met him, remember now, Wayside Chapel, in Kings Cross..........me and my cousins were just passing, one of us said there he is and we got out..........really young at the time we were.

it is about time he fell off the perch, isnt it?

I believe most thinking people see him for who he is.

I just don't understand how he ever ended up in parliament.

A man using religion to hide behind so that he can spill his bile on unsuspecting women.

there must be a lot of people around who think as he does.

Yet it was Nile and the shooters party that allowed the NSW state govt to gut workers compensation, made the new legislation retrospective and handed the insurance companies a great big prize.

Nile currently serves as:[31]

Assistant President of the New South Wales' Legislative Council[9]
Chairman of the General Purpose Standing Committee No. 1
Chairman of the Select Committee on Electoral and Political Party Funding
Member of the Committee on the Independent Commission Against Corruption
Member of the Committee on the Health Care Complaints Commission
Member of the Legislative Council Procedure Committee
Member of the Committee on Children and Young People
Member of the Standing Committee on State Development
Member of the Privileges Committee

Does he get paid for each of those positions?

Where did he get the money from for two lavish engagement parties and an even more elaborate wedding.

Took him only four month after his previous wifes death to find a new partner. No wonder his children did not attend.

Nile certainly isn't strapped for cash -

.Mr Nile is paid almost $190,000 due to his title of assistant president of the Legislative Council.

Yes, and he seems to have a new lease on bile since finding a new, younger woman to latch onto.

Nile is doing well as a reward for backing O'Farrell -

since the O'Farrell government took power and the votes of the Shooters, along with the Christian Democrats' Paul Green and the Reverend Fred Nile, became vital to the government passing controversial laws such as the privatisation of electricity generators and the winding back of workers' compensation.

The windfall is due to a decision by the Premier to pay the chairs of general purpose standing committees for the first time. They are now paid $8722 on top of a new MPs' base salary of $143,00, plus an additional $8722 ''expense allowance''.

The decision has drawn the ire of the Labor opposition, who say general purpose committees often meet for little more than three hours during one fortnight a year for budget estimates hearings.

Under Labor, there was no remuneration for chairing the five general purpose committees because aside from a short meeting every three months, the job is largely to conduct budget estimates hearings, which takes up one fortnight a year.

Mr O'Farrell broke with tradition by appointing government MPs to chair most of the general purpose committees, rewarding factional heavyweights such as the right's Marie Ficarra and the Christian right's Matthew Mason-Cox.

Poor Fred. Never became the Billy Graham of Australia, always struggling to be heard because Australians, as a whole, really never cared about his ranting. Fill a church, they love you, spout rubbish, the rest shake their heads. I bet someone's posting on FB/Twitter/whatever else they think is cool, for him.
