Episode Details

Moira Deeming is out as the Liberal candidate for Western Metropolitan after the party’s Victorian executive voted unanimously to revoke her candidacy — a move requiring three-quarters support — following her refusal to apologize for accusing colleague Matthew Guy of assault. Despite withdrawing a Supreme Court injunction and facing potential bankruptcy over $1.55 million in legal fees from a defamation case, Deeming stands by her claim, calling it a good-faith complaint and warning that apologizing would set a dangerous precedent. With her candidacy officially off the Liberal ticket for November, she remains an MP — for now — as legal battles over the party’s loan to cover her legal costs continue to unfold.
