OUTinPerth obtained an email sent to media outlets and politicians by Moncrieff, who said the Greens’ party was set up solely for the preservation of the environment. Moncreiff, who is not a member of the Greens, believed the party’s same sex policy positions have been introduced based on the personal agendas of the leaders who are ‘poofs and lesbians’.

WA Greens Leader Giz Watson responded, ‘The inference that there is a secret agenda that needs to be unveiled is laughable. The Greens same sex policy has been there for decades and that policy is supported by membership across the board.’

Speaking to OUTinPerth Moncrieff offered an apology, ‘I went a little bit too far in my writing…I’d like to retract the words I used to describe homosexual men and women, it was unnecessary and loose of me, and I apologise.’
