Political views

Fred is best known for his militantly homophobic views in token whereof he and his league of the professionally offended routinely protest against the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, an event he earnestly believes is the greatest moral threat facing humankind. In addition to disliking poofters he also has issues with Muslims, women having control over their fertility, pagans and environmentalists.[2]

Scandals

In 2010 he was swept up in a pornography scandal when it was claimed that his NSW Parliament IT account was used to register more than 200,000 hits on pornographic websites.[3] Disappointingly, subsequent inquiries found no hard evidence to support this claim.[4]

gollark: I'm sure there's *some* way to background it or whatever, or offload it to another process.
gollark: Or, I guess, more generically, "a thing to run a shell command based on some ingame action", which I bet already exists.
gollark: That sounds like a highly inefficient way to say "a thing to take ZFS snapshots on command".
gollark: I am very happy that none of my stuff ever has to deal with more than something like a few requests a second of traffic.
gollark: No, I either use NetworkManager or don't have very complex config anyway.
