Brad Battin has ousted John Pesutto as leader of the Victorian Liberal Party following a party room meeting that also marked the return of expelled MP Moira Deeming.
The meeting began on Dec. 27 morning with a vote to reinstate Deeming, who had been expelled after Pesutto led a campaign to remove her earlier in 2024.
