MP Defies Party Over Assault Claim | Sydney News
Description
Liberal MP Moira Deeming is locked in a high-stakes battle to stay on the Victorian election ticket after refusing to apologize for accusing Matthew Guy of assault — a claim she says was made in good faith and caused her real pain. Despite police finding no crime and Guy’s insistence he’s innocent, Deeming won’t back down, even admitting he didn’t use a headlock as she described. She’s now seeking legal protection from the Supreme Court, proposing a compromise statement to acknowledge Guy’s intent was friendly — but the party’s leadership is pushing to remove her, citing her refusal to apologize. With a history of legal wins, Deeming’s fight is heating up as the election looms.
