The federal Liberal Party's 'peak women's body' has called for Victorian MP Moira Deeming to be reinstated after she was expelled by the state branch.
The Victorian Liberal Party has been in turmoil since mid-April, when Ms Deeming attended a Let Women Speak rally that was crashed by a group of neo-Nazis.
“As the peak women’s body of the Liberal Party of Australia, the federal women’s committee is concerned by the actions of Victorian Opposition Leader John Pesutto MP and the actions taken by some members of the Liberal Victorian parliamentary team,” the motion states. The federal women’s committee includes the chair of each state and territory’s women’s section, the female federal vice president of the party and the president and immediate past president of the committee.
