Suspended Victorian MP Moira Deeming said the false accusation of being a Nazi sympathiser had brought “enormous harm” to her and her family, as the first-term MP announced defamation proceedings against Victorian Liberal Leader John Pesutto.
A few months into her first term, Ms. Deeming was expelled from the Liberal parliamentary team for speaking at the “Let Women Speak” rally in March. The protest was marred by threats of violence from trans-activists and gatecrashed by a small group of masked men who performed Nazi salutes.
