April 2022 Seymour writes to police about polkinghorne. A year later, he's lambasting Nash calling police about a case saying it's unacceptable. Calls for resignation.
Never dealt properly with misconduct allegations within party and youth wing.
I'm calling on David Seymour to #resign #DavidMustGo

Given the Jago case is just the latest in a string of issues around ACT, more questions must be asked. Let’s not forget: their former leader thought incest was ok, their current leader likes to Snapchat teenage girls, they have had multiple complaints re inappropriate culture in their youth wing.

Jago was apparently the one who dealt with the youth wing issues, and Ali Gammeter says there were rumours around Jago then, so questions HAVE to be asked.

mikejbain.bsky.social•35 days ago

100%. This cannot & should not be swept under the carpet.

greenbirdo.bsky.social•35 days ago

Incest? God what's wrong with these people *waves arm* generally?

mikejbain.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yep. Jamie Whyte when he was leader in 2014 said that incest, if between two consenting adults, should be legal. 🤮🤮🤮

awaterevalley.bsky.social•35 days ago

Not even a little investigation to check Young Act members were safe? (from Jago; we already knew they weren't safe from each other).

firehorsemia.bsky.social•35 days ago

What gets me is that Seymour is a peer in age as the people Jago abused but still can’t relate to their situation

jessterraformearth.bsky.social•35 days ago

Party uber all

Or…… Stockholm syndrome

firehorsemia.bsky.social•35 days ago

That video of him sitting next to Jago’s rant is disturbing

lotts.bsky.social•35 days ago

? Even if that were a real thing I don't understand how that would apply here. It's simply his narcissistic personality.

freestylesteph.bsky.social•35 days ago

Seymour would have been in Young Act at the time Jago was offending. Most sexual offenders have multiple victims that don’t speak so Seymour could have been a target. Or been around others who were.

lotts.bsky.social•35 days ago

I don't understand why you would look for a reason to give Seymour an out for his appalling behaviour. There is zero evidence he is a victim and it would not excuse anything he has done.

He's such a pathetic paedo-hider…

The Herald and stuff today Monday, could not find anything on this matter online. No reporting or update, nothing. This should be front page news. I’m so disheartened, what does it take to
Get the truth out there or at least ask questions

ninjakitty.bsky.social•35 days ago

They would have completely reamed the shit out of any other political party over anything like this - hell, they've done it for much less!

ACT - Cover Agents for Paedophiles

debbiefearon.medsky.social•35 days ago

Seymour reckons he hasn’t had contact with Jago for a few years - can he back that up?

This rings bells re #DavidSeymour snapchatting young girls. #ACT has a history of paedophiles, sex abuse & mysogeny #nzpol

WTF does "said he acted professionally" even mean?!!

Neither the man or the party posess a moral compass nor any interest in having one.
Have they even checked if in their youth group there aren't others abused?

Morals are a foreign concept obviously
well done to their voters, awesome job

As for the employment lawyer - from what I gather, drawing up an NDA is often one of their strengths.

He knew exactly what he was doing.
