The NSW North Coast's Greatest Underachiever

It's enough to make a grown man cry.
With the Clarence Valley reeling from the effects of public service jobs cuts and more to come - our fearless representative in the O'Farrell Coalition Government, Clarence MP Hapless Gulaptis is "fighting" for us all.
How's this not-so-bonza block doing this in the two months to more public service jobs deadline he and his leader set themselves?
Why in the last month he has penned two letters and grabbed a few minutes with Nationals Leader Andrew Stoner in a corridor somewhere in Sydney.
"Mr Gulaptis said he had written two letters to the Minister for Corrective Services and had spoken with his boss, Mr Stoner, outside the committee meeting entrusted with bringing 108 jobs back to Grafton." {The Daily Examiner 18th August 2012}
Bluidy pathetic!

ssssssSnake MP

Lower than a Snakes Belly

This is the Member for Clarence, Chris Would I Lie To You? Gulaptis.

Posturing in a protest T-shirt after signing a petition he knew was going nowhere.

A day later and he‘s offering a Northern Rivers Jobs Plan to replace the 107 people he and his mates in Macquarie Street just sacked at Grafton Gaol.

But under this plan they won’t be giving money to farmers, cane growers, cattlemen, trawler owners, timber mills, quarry operators, car yards, supermarkets, local retailers, publicans, accountants, real estate agents, security firms or companies under 2 years old to create new employment opportunities in these businesses.

You know, just the sort of places where jobs might be created in a region like the Clarence Valley.

Gulaptis admits he "stuffed up" & then offers a string of weak excuses to 2,000 strong crowd

First untruth – I didn’t know about the closure of the gaol as it was happening {What, questions raised in Budget Estimates and on the floor of the House didn’t give you a clue? You certainly knew at least 300 positions were being deleted across Corrective Services NSW – after all your minister confirmed this - and yet you didn't check to see if your election promise still held? Pull the other one!}

Second untruth – I know what it is to lose your job and have to move out of town {Maaate! You quit your council elected office and headed north across the border to a new job after a failed bid to enter Federal Parliament in 2007 and that’s not the same thing as facing forced redundancy.}

Third untruth - "If I lied, I would tell you that I lied" {A triple pork pie with pike as local government voters can attest from bitter experience.}

Fourth untruth – I want to work with the unions "to put a hold on this” {Did you think no-one noticed that all you are promising is to talk with O'Farrell about a future regional investment package - not actually keeping the gaol from being downsized and downgraded?}

While I'm at it I dips me lid to The Daily Examiner for its beaut news coverage.

UPDATE: If the body language of fellow Nats Williamson and Challacombe didn't give the game way when Gulaptis was saying he knew nothing of the closure of the gaol until it was happening, then this confirms the suspicions of many - MAYOR Richie Williamson said he was devastated after a meeting with Acting NSW Premier Andrew Stoner and Attorney General Greg Smith SC, in which they said State Government would charge on with its plans to downsize Grafton Jail. Cr Williamson said the State Government wasn't interested in doing business or listening to the delegation of Grafton community and union representatives in Sydney this afternoon and that jail transfers would continue. "And the heart will be ripped out of the Clarence Valley," he said. {The Daily Examiner}

On how not to win friends and influence people as a first-term MP

In The Daily Examiner on 30th^th June 2012:

“Yesterday the Department of Corrective Services announced a savage restructure of the Grafton Jail which would strip all but 60 beds from the 240-bed facility…..

However, Member for Clarence Chris Gulaptis has defended the decision and blamed the previous Labor Government for allowing the jail to reach such a low point.

Mr Gulaptis yesterday described the jail as a time bomb waiting to go off, harbouring a culture of bullying and harassment among staff and inmates.

He claimed a confidential report into the prison said there were 11 staff who should have been disciplined for bullying and harassing inmates and other staff.”

The Daily Examiner letter to the editor 2nd July 2012:
Gulaptis lost plot
GEE, having a National Party MP in our electorate sure has helped, with 100 jobs gone from Corrective Services, a homeless service now missing from the lower Clarence area.
You really are on top of things Chris. What exactly have you done for the area?
The National Party is supposed to be in this with the Liberals, but all I can see is jobs leaving this area to go to an area held by a Liberal Party member in Cessnock.
Mr Gulaptis, what the hell are you made of?
Your party has gutted this valley and the commentary in The Daily Examiner on the front page Saturday was perfect and the picture was absolutely spot-on, except the creature pulling the heart out should have had Mr Gulaptis's face on it.
Are you going to take responsibility for your party killing this area? How much in income will now not be circulating around this valley thanks to your party?
This is going to have a large flow-on effect; the 100 jobs, Mr Gulaptis, will turn into 200 jobs in other related industries.
Already this job is proving far to much for you and you have let the citizens of Grafton down.

A selection of online comments.....
By JASMITH from Grafton,

Just what we needed to read in the paper today, that our esteemed Member for Clarence, Chris Gulaptis calls your husband and dad a Bully. It was a tough enough day for the 100 workers without insults and name calling......WHO'S THE BULLY???????????

By EmmaB from Yamba,

On the front page today’s issue of The Daily Examiner. Is that National Party MP for Clarence, Chris Gulaptis, depicted with a bloodied hand holding aloft the bleeding heart just ripped out of Grafton's chest? Looks suspiciously like.....

By Fedup from Junction Hill,

I am left wondering. Why punish all the staff including civilian staff for the abhorrent behaviour of the few ? Why were these 11 people dealt with by the senior managers of the prison system? OR was there another agenda here!!!!!! To all those affected I wish you all the best for the future.

As for The Honourable Member Mr Gulaptis do not come to my door seeking endorsement for the next election especially after your comments. Instead of blaming the former government who by the way did not have a sitting member here look to your own backyard. When all the dust settles would the last person leaving Grafton please turn off the light because the ripple effect of this act of bastardry will echo through this city for years to come.

By willbewatching from Grafton,

This is a horrendous result for Grafton. Economically this will hit hard, talk about time bombs, the effect on the local economy is now the ticking time bomb. I wonder how many residents are here because of the Gaol. I am, my family moved here when I was young because my father transferred to Grafton Gaol and we all stayed. To use the culture at the place as a reason to close is a smoke screen, surely a change at the top, some targeted transfers, and an education process would fix the culture, but no the easy fix is to close the thing. This closure is about money pure and simple, saving money to build a new entertainment centre in Sydney among many other really important things. Well I would expect that not many from here will be going to the new entertainment centre, they will be busy trying to keep their businesses afloat.

By UrsulaTunks from Grafton,

I agree pwalsh. I think our new State Member is probably wondering what the hell he bought into when he took the decision to seek pre selection and ultimately election to the state seat! I don't give a rats bottom about how the situation was allowed to develop, I care about the impact on our community of this decision. Has the government any plan as to how to compensate our community for this action? Will they relocate another department here to fill the massive loss to our local economy as a result of this decision? Or are they just happy to keep us debilitated and as powerless as possible so they can rape and pillage the area for the CSG needed in their electorates in the cities? The electorate of Clarence has been gutted by a government that we were promised would finally give us a voice and some opportunity. Shame of Basil O'Fullivit and his factionally driven power hungry minions.

'Steve' Gulaptis MP, fifth columnist?

Surfing the web I came across this little pearl from the mouth of the then Maclean Shire Mayor, now the NSW North Coast’s very own MP for Page, ‘Steve’ Gulaptis – which leads me to wonder if he joined the O’Farrell Coalition Government just so that he could help eradicate it?
