Victorian Liberal MPs have expelled suspended MP Moira Deeming after she threatened to take state party leader John Pesutto to court for defamation. 7NEWS
Liberal MP Moira Deeming has been expelled from the parliamentary party for good after threatening to sue state leader John Pesutto.
Liberal frontbencher James Newbury, one of the signatories to the motion to expel Deeming, said the Victorian Liberals were moving forward behind John Pesutto. Crozier, the opposition’s upper house leader, said Deeming’s threat to Pesutto was “extremely disappointing” but wouldn’t be drawn on whether she should be booted from the party altogether.
Rowville MP Kim Wells said the looming defamation action would make Deeming’s expulsion more difficult.
