The Victorian Liberal Party faces the prospect of losing a seat and former leader, John Pesutto, if he is bankrupted trying to pay a $2.3 million penalty after losing his defamation case brought by Moria Deeming.
Deeming is a Liberal Party member of the state’s Legislative Council, she filed a defamation case against Pesutto after he made remarks about her attending a women’s rights rally called, “Let Women Speak,” that featured internationally known activist Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, also known as Posie Parker.
