Green MP faces ‘immense’ death threats and abuse over social media account

Following the October 2024 election, Benjamin Doyle became a Green MP and has since been the target of immense death threats and abuse, along with their child.
The threats and abuse stem from dangerous conspiracy theories amplified by Destiny's Church and Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters, focusing on Doyle's social media account "Biblebeltbussy".
Posts on X tagged Green Party leaders, other MPs, and Winston Peters, leading to questions about the appropriateness of Doyle's posts, language, and the meaning of terms like 'Bussy' used on the account before Doyle became an MP, with 52 posts subsequently deleted.
Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters stated, "If the police want to investigate they can," while the New Zealand First leader questioned the Green Party and Doyle to answer what 'Bussy' and 'Bussy Galore' mean.
Green Party members, including Ricardo Menéndez March, assert the attacks are driven by disinformation and hatred towards the rainbow community, demanding Prime Minister Christopher Luxon intervene to stop Winston Peters' behavior, as such hatred can lead to real-world violence.

Australian National Review - Trannie-loving gay Green Kiwi MP accused of transitioning his male child

GAY New Zealand Greens MP Benjamin Doyle is another living lesson on why Australians must number the Greens last in the coming election. The madness of the Greens knows no bounds, with this clown in his maiden speech touting claims that transgender people, like the Maori, are “victims of colonisation and capitalism”. Doyle likes to quote invented modern Maori words for his very complicated self that he described in Parliament as “queer, non-bina…
