sadly there are still too many of his type around

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.
