Labour MP calls for Destiny Church to be held to account

From Morning Report, 7:46 am on 27 March 2024

A Labour MP wants to see Destiny Church members held to account for painting over a rainbow street crossing.

The vandalism was in protest against a drag queen event at the Gisborne Library.

A heated stand-off grew outside the library on Tuesday, and rainbow supporter Shari said she was appalled by the church members' actions.

Hastings District Council has cancelled a similar event due to safety concerns.

Labour Party rainbow spokesperson Shanan Halbert spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
