1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: The curious case of Benjamin Doyle. Benjamin Doyle spoke on

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: the controversy surrounding them yesterday and basically called themself stupid.

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: We found out that the Greens actively asked him to

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: delete his accounts before he came into Parliament, those accounts

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: which introduced us all to the Bussy, but they refused,

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: wanting to stand up for what they is and who

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: they stand for. Given that if I was the Greens,

8
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: I would have gone to the next person on the list.

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: If Doyle wasn't going to drop it, I would have

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: dropped him. I said last week they should go, they

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: should go, and I stand by that. I don't see

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: the need for anyone so stupid and bloody minded in

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: a taxpayer funded parliament. Doyle says the Bussy stuff was

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: a knowing joke. I can understand that queens are always

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: ironically calling each other queen's but that's not the sort

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: of joke I want to see in an MP. But

17
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: to claim Benjamin must be a child offender, I thought

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: was also a step too far. In fact, it's a

19
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: heinous accusation unless you have the proof. And that goes

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: for the Hamish candl case too, So if they want

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: to put those haters aside, perhaps they need to stand

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: up for himself with a defamation suit, or even maybe

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: let the wife speak out, but again that will be difficult.

24
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: So again, the easiest way to deal with it all

25
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: is just to slope out the door. Benjamin carrying on

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: is probably not worth the Yanks, and this whole thing

27
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: is an ugly and entirely avoidable situation. For more from
