So hardline is Moira Deeming, that Scott Morrison’s office intervened to stop her from running as a Liberal candidate in the federal election earlier in 2022.

John Pesutto has declared his intention to expel Moira Deeming from her position as a member of the parliamentary Liberal Party. Deeming's crime?

This is a woman who wields the sacrosanct mandate of the Victorian people to govern. We learned that racism, sexism, the culture of victimhood, and the tyranny of inclusivity do not sit well with Deeming. ‘It’s really a matter for the leader of the Liberal Party to explain to the people of Hawthorn, and indeed all Victorians, are these his views?’ She’s a member of our team and she’ll go forward as a member of our team.’ But Pesutto has since fallen victim to the straw man, and so has manufactured a scarecrow. In the 2022 election, the Liberal Party ran a ticket of predominantly conservative candidates for Western Metro, spearheaded by Deeming and then Trung Luu. The manifesto she delivered is one that I cannot seem to fault, and one which was met with both laughter and, on more than one occasion, rapturous applause. For it is the constituent, not the party leader, who decides by way of this country’s elective democracy the merit of the politician’s positions. ‘I’m not here to try and explain that member of Parliament’s views,’ the premier lamented. There is no evidence to suggest Deeming engaged with the neo-Nazis at the event. Rather, Pesutto should ask Victorian Police whether or not they held suspicions neo-Nazis would attend the event, and if so whether or not they made any attempt to alert the event’s organisers.

Moira Deeming will be expelled from the Liberal Party after her involvement in an anti-transgender rally in Melbourne, attended by neo-Nazis.

“And on the steps of our Parliament, some of them performed a Nazi salute.” The rally outside the parliament on Saturday spurred calls for the use of Nazi salutes to be banned. “So to every trans Victorian, I say this: Our Government will always support you. The Victorian government has previously outlawed the Nazi swastika. The group wore all black, some covering their faces with balaclavas, standing with a sign that said: “Destroy Paedo Freaks”.

He said he was not aware of any other Liberal MP participating in the rally but would continue to look into the matter. “I’m confident I’ll have the support of the party room … Prominent Indigenous leader Nyunggai Warren Mundine slammed the decision to try and expel Deeming and said he would be advocating on her behalf. “I can see why the Liberal Party struggles to win elections – it’s fallen into the same old trap. I completely reject the beliefs of National Socialists (Nazis) and I have seen first-hand the impact that the Holocaust had on a family member.” “Second, Ms Deeming stayed at the rally when the Nazis arrived.

He specifically referenced British women's rights activist, Kelly Jane Keane, who was at the centre of the demonstration on Saturday. Deeming spoke at the 'Let Women Speak' event held by British anti-transgender activist Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull outside the Victorian parliament in Melbourne's CBD on Saturday. Pesutto said the move is not linked to Deeming's long-held anti-transgender views, but her role in organising and promoting an event affiliated with well-known white supremacists.
