Has anyone noted the very Rev Fred Niles recent stand on topless bathing? This bloke is a total hypocrit, I have talked to him on a few occasions seeking his help to have certain websites closed.

Make sure the NSWNP, Dark Greens and NPA don't get a look at this black snake making a meal of the brown otherwise we will be looking down the barrel of a very expensive and drawn out tax payer funded research project to development an intervention program.
