DEI is the demise of the greens, the Ben Doyle saga is the final nail in the coffin.

CT, what do you think DEI actually is?

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, sums it all up really. 

The other thing I cannot get out of my head, is why is Winston so interested in what is in other people's private social media posts, and their underpants?

Surely at his age he's passed all that stuff.

Silly bussy.

Is it any more strange that he be interested in Doyle's social media posts than that you (and others here) were obsessed with which church Luxon supposedly attended? Both happened in their "private lives".  But, in fact, what politicians do in their private lives often is very legitimately of interest to the general public, due to it providing insight into their viewpoints and influences.

As to Winston's so called interest in what is in Doyle's underpants, as you well know (but dishonestly attempt to deflect from), Winston's interest is in Doyle's own referencing of what is in his own/and or his child's underpants. Referencing which, at the very best, is incredibly strange. An assumption towards it being for more sinister is very reasonable though.

I'm interested: if Simeon Brown posted a photo of his daughter on his lap with the caption "Pussy galore", would you question his child's safety. And that's not even a good comparison as pussy has multiple accepted meanings whereas bussy is pretty well accepted to only refer to anus in a sexual context.

Damn right, and here we have Chloe trying to defend this crap on TV.
There is zero excuse for this behavior, i dont give a rats arse if it was posted private or public or prior to him being elected.
I dont care if the kid in the photos is his own or not either.
She is whitewashing the whole thing and saying this terminology is being misinterpreted outside the LGBTQIAA+ community, no its not Chloe, we all know its a sexual term, far moreso than "pussy" as it only can apply as a sexual term in this context, prove me otherwise.
Also the position of the kid in the photo also is disturbing to say the least.
Not to mention we are having the LGBT/rainbow community themselves upset and speaking out.

There are other red flags on his instagram profile bio too.
I dare anyone to perform a facebook search on his spiral emoji and tell me what you get.

The green party need to do the right thing and condemn his posts and say they will conduct an investigation into it, not double down on it.
