After Victorian Opposition Leader John Pesutto described the expulsion of Moira Deeming as a 'turning point' in his plan to reform the Liberals' party room, state president Greg Mirabella joins calls for unity.
"We've got through that, it's now a line in the sand for us and we can move forward," Mr Pesutto said.
He made reference to the creation of the Liberal Party in the 1940s and said its founders "accepted that to succeed we must be united and outward looking". One senior Victorian Liberal figure said Ms Deeming was intent on blowing the party up for her own self-promotion and backed Mr Pesutto's actions.
