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

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.

I think anyone making that giant leap to the child has some issues to deal with.  Sinister? Omg,  I think some people are searching really hard for material to undermine political enemies. And in the process revealing far too much about their own realities.

Pearl clutching it seems is not just for women.

It wasn't Winston who leaked these posts/photos, it was someone close to Benjamin who had access to his Instagram profile and had genuine concerns.
Winston simply was the one who got attacked simply for mentioning it on social media.

If I, as a straight person posted a photo of my daughter in that position on my lap with the caption "pussy galore" I hate to think what the reaction would be.

"Bussy" = Boys Pussy, so this takes the whole thing to a whole new low how he sexualises his child, its disgusting and serious questions need to be asked.

So why on earth does it make it OK just because this guy is part of the rainbow community? He has already caused outrage among the community. This makes Chloe look like a complete idiot by doubling down and defending him as a victim from all of this.

But this has now opened a whole can of worms, with Sean Plunket covering this, turns out that there are 3 reliable sources that claim that he is converting his sons gender, this is sick.

Not only that, but turns out his partner was one of his students while he was teaching at school!

But it even gets worse, I dont think this is going away, and dont be surprised if he plays the poor victim and steps down.
And Yes, I think Luxon is handling the whole thing very professionally.
