Melbourne: So, here’s the scoop. The Victorian Liberal leader, John Pesutto, just used his tie-breaking vote to kick Moira Deeming out of the party room. Can you believe it?
Last week, Moira actually won a defamation case against Pesutto. He had called her a neo-Nazi after she showed up at an anti-trans rights rally that some white supremacists crashed. Talk about drama!
Now, Pesutto had the final say on whether she could come back to the party. During a meeting on Friday, they were deadlocked at 14-14 on letting her back in. So, Pesutto stepped in and decided to give her the boot instead.
Stay tuned for more updates on this wild situation!
