Expelled Liberal MP Moira Deeming has served a second defamation concerns notice on John Pesutto, seeking substantial and aggravated damages and alleging the Victorian Opposition Leader accused her of being a “Nazi sympathiser and Nazi associate”, and used that as a basis to “threaten and bully” her out of the parliamentary party.
The 16-page notice, written by leading defamation lawyer Patrick George on Mrs Deeming’s behalf, serves as a stand-alone case, separate and in addition to the notice with which Mrs Deeming issued Mr Pesutto earlier this month, with the first case due to be filed in the Federal Court on June 8.
