When is blackmail not blackmail?

Post by weemadando »

Why when its Fred Nile doing it for the sake of our children's souls of course.
Fred Nile is a brazen scumbag. wrote: The Herald has given wide coverage to my perceived actions regarding the future of the so-called ''ethics course'' in NSW schools.

I have not sought to blackmail the NSW government. I simply reminded them: before they reject my Ethics Repeal Bill, they should remember they need our votes to pass their controversial industrial relations legislation. I never said I would vote against it, even though I have genuine concerns about its impact.

I'm not trying to blackmail you, I'm just reminding you in this newspaper editorial that you need my vote and that its reliant on supported my craziness.

It's extortion, not blackmail.

At least he's honest? I guess he knows if it's not on Today Tonight nobody will care.

People who self-describe their shit as 'genuine' are good quality, though.
