To be fair he's not saying "we don't want to heard from white men" but when you're operating in a limited time frame and you can't literally hear everyone's point of view, it's important to make sure you have a broad spectrum of perspectives, and a 5th middle class white bloke's POV is of limited utility when you already have the other 4. For example in my organisation (because full disclosure - it's full of middle class white folks) when I'm adding a perspective to a discussion I like to come at it from the angle of a parent/full time carer of a child with additional needs, because that's a perspective I can offer that others can't, rather than just another generic "working age male" perspective. The team already has that.

So yeah in short, I don't think there's anything wrong with seeking diverse perspectives. Demographic traits don't "define people" in their entirety but it would be foolish to try to claim that people have full understandings of other people's issues... to use my example again; a layperson's thoughts on the things that might affect the parent of a disabled child mean precisely jack **** to be completely blunt about it. And likewise it would be ludicrous for me to suggest that I can offer a full perspective on issues affecting an ethnic minority or a female.

Well as long as they have this nonsense to talk about then they don't have to talk about what's happening in Australia.

Let's just say both parties are scum, and let's move on. This really isn't important, she's entitled to an opinion.

He is the Chairperson he can choose whose question he wants to take

He is more or less forcing people to put their hands up even though they may not want to

But that deputy leader has equal freedoms to me, so why is it OK for me but not her.

I can’t even believe I'm having to defend Raynor here.

Even if it's not becoming of a deputy leader to say that. It's not the big story the media are making of it.

I see your point but again it's about optics. He's handing the opportunity for people to clip it and share it round, making the party look bad.
