A new petition on Change.org titled "Investigate Benjamin Doyle and the Green Party for Alleged Child Exploitation" is rapidly gaining attention. Launched on April 4th, 2025, by Rebecca McCahill, the petition has already garnered over 3,000 signatures, with calls intensifying for a full investigation into the actions of Benjamin Doyle, a member of the Green Party.
The petition makes an urgent plea to authorities:
"We are calling upon officials to deeply scrutinize both Benjamin Doyle and the Green Party in order to assess these allegations. The safety and wellbeing of our children should never be compromised, especially by those we entrust with their safeguarding."
McCahill's appeal has clearly struck a chord with many New Zealanders, with supporters expressing serious concern over what they view as potential threats to child safety. The petition further emphasizes the non-partisan nature of the issue, stating:
"Together, let's raise our voices and demand an investigation to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our children from potential predatory behavior. Differing political views aside, the safety of our children is paramount. Thank you for your anticipated support in this deeply personal and urgent matter. Please sign this petition and voice your concern."
Several signatories have left impassioned comments on the petition page.
Deborah Willoughby wrote:
"Someone who endorses child sex on social media does not belong in NZ Parliament."
Another supporter, Debbie Waitoa, echoed the sentiment:
"Why would I not? It is the only thing to do to protect children from perverted monsters. Children's wellbeing is paramount."
As the number of signatories continues to rise, pressure is mounting on both Benjamin Doyle and the Green Party to respond to the public’s concerns. The petition underscores the seriousness with which citizens are taking these allegations and the growing demand for transparency and accountability from elected officials.
