The opposition leader had three defamation cases brought against him, but now he’s down to just one.
Opposition Leader John Pesutto has settled defamation actions launched against him by two women who joined a controversial rally on the steps of the Victorian Parliament gatecrashed by neo-Nazis last year.
Three sources who asked to be anonymous to speak about the confidential terms confirmed the two cases had settled. Deeming had initially survived a motion to expel her from the parliamentary Liberal Party in the days after the Let Women Speak Rally. She was suspended from the party room in a compromise deal but was ultimately expelled in the fallout in May last year.
