As reported almost two weeks ago by the Goulburn Post, two candidates for the seat of Goulburn at the upcoming NSW Elections made some remarkable comments at a recent candidates night held in Goulburn.
Organised by Goulburn District Unions, each candidate was asked to provide a two minute pitch regarding their campaign followed by questions from the floor.
In his opening statements, CDP candidate Adrian Van Der Byl traced the decline in modern values to the decriminalisation of sodomy by Neville Wran.
Later in the evening, in response to a question regarding penalty rates, Wal Ashton cautioned that if we removed penalty rates completely all of the cafes “would be run by ethnics.”
And people say these candidate nights are predictable and boring.
The candidate’s responses were recorded on video by the Goulburn Post and this week the Post’s videos were picked up by the Sydney Morning Herald and other sites. The response was one of outrage.
Following the wider distribution of the story and videos, Adrian Van Der Byl was invited to speak with Justin Smith on 2UE.
In a lengthier interview, Van Der Byl was offered sixty seconds (uninterrupted) to explain and explain how homosexuality has changed the fabric of Australia so much that it has affected the economy.
“If you want to destroy the family unit you end up destroying the economy because people will end up with a different set of values and the protestant work ethic will disappear,” Van Der Byl said.
“It will be a set of values that call for so called equality which is indeed marriage destruction and you will have people have a destiny in life which has no benefit for future generations and this is the heritage we are about to bequeath to our children.”
After hearing him out, Smith described that as “the biggest lot of crap [he’d] ever heard,” and added that if Van Der Byl managed to win a seat in state parliament, he’d move to Brazil.
We can’t promise similar quotes at the upcoming Goulburn Post Meet the candidates night on Friday March 13, but it at least bodes well for a lively discussion.
