Liberal MP Moira Deeming has hit out after being blindsided by a motion to expel her from the party room, saying she condemned the neo-Nazis’ actions on Saturday
from the parliamentary Liberal Party, in a vote early next week because of her actions before, during, and after the Let Women Speak rally organised by Keen-Minshull.
“Second, Ms Deeming stayed at the rally when the Nazis arrived. Thirdly, having seen the ugly scenes and having had an opportunity to disown and dissociate from those very people, Ms Deeming chose to celebrate [with organisers], as evidenced on social media.”She said none of the organisers were involved with the men making Nazi salutes on the steps of Parliament.
The Liberal leader met with Deeming for about 90 minutes on Sunday. Sources close to Deeming said she believed her potential expulsion was because of her anti-trans views. They said she has no interest in joining another party.Youtube Earlier this month, Deeming had actively promoted the event and spoke about it in the upper house, where she represents the Western Metropolitan Region.
