Labour MP Phil Twyford has called for Destiny Church to be taken off the charities register after they targeted the LGBTQ community last weekend. 

Members of the church barricaded 30 people, including children, into a room during a drag-king event.

Charites expert Michael Gousmet clears up confusion around the many Destiny Churches in NZ, and talks to Ryan Bridge about what justifies being deregistered. 

"What you've got to prove is serious wrongdoing ... the concept of serious wrongdoing is very, very hard to prove."
