From Checkpoint, 4:34 pm on 21 March 2024

A Parliamentary select committee was momentarily derailed this morning, when a member of the public went on an anti-trans rant before verbally abusing an MP.

It comes just a day after outgoing MP Grant Robertson raised his concerns about "increasing hatred, bigotry and lies" towards the transgender community.
