Gulaptis won't ever vote for any same-sex marriage because it isn't " an age old tradition"
Firmly placing his foot in his mouth Nationals MP for Clarence Chris Gulaptis confirmed to the Clarence Valley Review on 26 September 2012 that he would not be supporting a same-sex marriage bill if one came before the NSW Parliament, saying he supported maintaining marriage as a tradition between a man and a woman and likened maintaining the traditional approach to marriage to preservation of heritage buildings.
Wonder if he has been taking public relations tips from Senator Bernardi?

Tweed locks the gate against Alan Jones
Rock the Gate does the Northern Rivers proud:
" SHOCK jock Alan Jones has been dumped as headline speaker at an anti-coal seam gas rally on the Tweed next week, with organisers condemning him as a 'thoughtless bastard' for his extraordinary personal attack on Julia Gillard.
Alan
Jones has become a champion of the anti-CSG movement, telling the National
Press Club last week that prime farming land was being turned into 'a quarry and
a worthless lunar landscape' by miners.
The right-wing commentator, who grew up on a farm on the Darling Downs, has
even sided with the Greens on the issue.
Jones was to have been guest speaker at the 'Rock
the Gate' anti-CSG rally and concert at Murwillumbah on October 13.
But after a
public outcry and threats of a boycott, organiser Michael McNamara said the
controversial Sydney broadcaster's invitation to speak at the event had been
withdrawn...."

How to get on Interpol's Wanted List
This is Vladimer Bedukadze. Has to be a bad b#gger, right? After all the Georgian Government issued a Red Notice seeking his arrest and return.
But what’s this? An offence against “life and safety”?
Oh yes, this is the chap who blew the whistle on prisoner abuse and torture in Georgia prisons.
Seems it’s a very dangerous offence to bring down an Interior Minister for crimes occurring on his watch - quick as a flash you have Interpol on your tail.
