for defamation. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out! The Victorian Liberals voted 19-11 to evict Moira Deeming and her supporter (who was in a secretarial role) from the party on Friday morning for “bringing discredit” to the group. Moira Deeming first gained scrutiny after she was spotted in attendance at the Melbourne anti-trans rally in March, which occurred alongside a neo-Nazi protest. At the time the party Deeming for nine months, but things changed once she served John Pesutto a . Deeming sought the immediate withdrawal of her suspension, a public apology from Pesutto and a media statement making it clear she a Nazi sympathiser, and compensation for legal costs. Understandably Pesutto responded with an immediate vote to evict her from the party. “I believe I am innocent of all imputations and accusations of any connection whatsoever with Nazism in any shape or form and any bigotry whatsoever toward the LGBTQI+ community,” Deeming said in March after she was suspended. “We need to start talking about things that are important to Victorians and stop talking about ourselves,” opposition tourism, sport and events spokesman told . “It’s time for us to start presenting ourselves as an option for the people of Victoria, and that starts by us listening and stop worrying about our own internal matters.” Victorian Premier challenged the eviction, saying a vote should have occurred earlier instead of when it best suited John Pesutto. “The moment she threatened to sue Mr Pesutto, she has to go.
