Suspended Liberal’s threat to take legal action against John Pesutto comes as party divisions deepen
Pesutto had initially sought to expel her from the party but later said he had proposed a suspension after receiving “important concessions” from Deeming, including condemnation of comments made by the rally’s headline speaker and organiser.
“This entire saga has been unjust. I have tried for 6 long weeks to mediate a mutually satisfactory joint statement, when it should have been done that same day,” she said. Pesutto was also forced to deny he was a bully, after allegations were made he had brought upper house MP Renee Heath to tears during another party room meeting on Tuesday.
“They could not be reconciled and the party room overwhelming agreed that they were not in shape for acceptance,” he said.
