Former Liberal MP Moira Deeming sues John Pesutto for defamation over Nazi sympathizer accusation.
Former Liberal MP Moira Deeming is suing Victorian opposition leader John Pesutto for defamation, alleging he accused her of being a Nazi sympathizer and using the claim to bully her. Deeming, who was expelled from the Liberal Party after participating in the Let Women Speak rally, seeks to testify in the Federal Court trial, set to run for 15 days, to present her "hurt feelings" evidence. Deeming's lawyer claims it's common for judges in defamation cases to require oral, in-person testimony for such evidence, while Pesutto's lawyer argues that Deeming could provide her testimony via video link.
