New expulsion motion against suspended Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming announced

The Victorian Liberals will hold a party room meeting next Friday, where it will be moved to expel the controversial, and currently suspended, MP Moira Deeming.

Deeming had threatened to sue party leader John Pesutto after he didn't make a statement refuting the Nazi affiliation claims she alleges were made against her earlier this week.

In a statement, Pesutto said five MPs were seeking to have Deeming expelled from the party for good.

She had been suspended – but narrowly avoided being expelled – in March after she attended an anti-trans rally that was overtaken by neo-Nazis.

"Today I received a notice of motion from five Liberal Party MPs seeking the expulsion of Moira Deeming at a party room meeting that will be held next Friday, 12 May," Pesutto said on Saturday.

The MPs behind the motion are former opposition leader Matthew Guy, as well as Roma Britnell, Wayne Farnham, Cindy McLeish and James Newbury.

Deeming on Saturday had earlier backtracked on her threat of legal action, claiming she was only ever seeking a mediation process.

"All I have ever wanted, since the leader's failed attempt to have me expelled for allegedly bringing the party into disrepute, was to have my name cleared," she said in a statement.

"I have never once considered suing the Liberal party and reports that I have, or had planned to do so, are false.

"It is important to clarify here that I only contemplated legal assistance (eg mediation) as a way of helping me negotiate to settle the conditions of my suspension and to see what was agreed in the party room in March honoured."
