The NSW president of the Christian Democratic Party says it's"business as usual" after a motion of no confidence in the board was raised during an"unruly" meeting of members.
Reverend Ross Clifford on Monday said the party's board was still in place and Reverend Fred Nile was still a member of the NSW Parliament under the CDP banner. The two men and state director Craig Hall on Monday addressed the media following claims the CDP board was sacked on Saturday by the state council.Mr Clifford told reporters the no-confidence motion was raised without notice during another motion and when he indicated it was inappropriate some people became very vocal.
"We were left with no other option but to adjourn the meeting because we couldn't even hear ourselves," he said. "As far as we're concerned, the Christian Democratic Party continues to operate, Fred is the member, the board is still operative and the offices are still open at Parramatta."Mr Nile also insisted that any meeting that occurred on Saturday after most delegates had left"had no legal status".Mr Hall said legal advice would be sought for the benefit of members and for certainty.
Ahhh ! Christian democracy.. Fred looks so ... HAPPY
