What a cop out! Nationals' Chris Gulaptis cannot tell the time of day.

In a very rare moment of honesty, the National Party's Chris Gulaptis has admitted to something that many local residents have long suspected. Quite simply, when it comes to climate change (Howard's euphemism for global warming) Gulaptis doesn't know, but (and this is even sadder) more to the point, he obviously doesn't care enough to do his basic homework.

Would you have this bloke ,who doesn't have the intellect or nous to secure the position of runner-up in a used car salesman's competition as your local rep in the big house? Not bloody likely!
