Victorian Liberal Party leader John Pesutto has backed away from his move to expel Liberal MP Moira Deeming from the party, opting instead for a nine-month suspension.
The move follows Deeming’s appearance at the women’s rights rally ‘Let Women Speak’ rally on March 18 which was overtaken by a neo-Nazi protest and marred by violence by clashes between the police and trans-activists who had deemed the rally as having an anti-trans agenda.
