Liberal MPs call for vote on reinstating Moira Deeming to party room – ABC News

Five Victorian Liberal MPs have called for a vote to reinstate ousted Liberal MP Moira Deeming to the parliamentary wing of the party.

Ms Deeming was exiled from the party room last May after threatening legal action against party leader John Pesutto. However, she has remained a member of the broader Liberal Party.

Last Friday Ms Deeming won her defamation case against Mr Pesutto in the Federal Court, after she alleged he had defamed her by suggesting she was a Nazi sympathiser in the wake of an anti-trans-rights rally on the steps of Victorian parliament last year that was gatecrashed by neo-Nazis.

On Friday, in the wake of the Federal Court decision, Mr Pesutto said Ms Deeming’s potential re-entry to the party room was up to its members, but he would not support it.
