MPs to decide whether to block MP from party room next week after she attended a rally she says was ‘gate-crashed’ by neo-Nazis
The source said the motion was used as an opportunity to debate the merits of Pesutto’s push to expel Deeming, with several MPs “unconvinced” that her conduct has reached “a threshold worthy of expulsion”.“If there was evidence she had anything to do with them, it would be an immediate hanging offence, but so far all that’s been shown is she’s had an association with someone who has [allegedly] had an association with Nazis.
“I can’t see any evidence that she’s associated with Nazis … some of the evidence that’s been shown to me appears to have been put together to fit the accusation rather than the other way around,” he said. After leaving the meeting, Pesutto said he was confident “the party that understands why I’ve done this and that I have not taken the action lightly”.
