Pitiful Fred Nile

The Reverend Fred Nile is a clergyman and also a Member of Parliament in the New South Wales Legislative Council. He has clearly never heard of the separation of powers! He is an outspoken homophobe, who has been attending Sydney's Gay Mardi Gras Parade for many years, in order to pray for rain (I'm not making this up!). In the past 30 years, I have known it to rain on only a couple of occasions. Mostly, the parades occur on gloriously starry-skied, clear,  full-summer nights. I'm not sure whose  prayers God is listening to, but it certainly doesn't appear to be those of Fred Nile.
