Disgusting article.
I email Gordon Rodda to ask if he had indeed granted that interview and if he had if he might have been misquoted. I also voiced my concern over the obviously biased and sensationalized answers.
You should all do the same. Don't worry he's a government employee so he can take some time to answer a few questions from us, his employers.
