Jesus Wept (For Victoria)

John Pesutto is a fighter alright. Except the only punches he’s landing … are on himself!

Victorian Liberal Leader John Pesutto lost in court yesterday - but the real losers were Victorians.

How are voters supposed to choose between the completely inept Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan, and the now completely discredited Victorian Opposition leader John Pesutto?

 It’s like asking Victorians – would you rather be eaten by a shark, or by a crocodile?

The man charged with saving Victoria from Labor has spent most of the past 22 months distracted by a ridiculous feud with Moria Deeming, the MP he expelled from the Liberal PartyRoom.

 Judge David O’Callaghan today found Pesutto had defamed the exiled MP by falsely portraying her as a Nazi sympathiser after she helped to organise a women’s rights rally that was gate-crashed by neo-Nazis.

 The Victorian Liberal leader was ordered to pay $300,000 in damages. 

 Sources close to the case say once legal bills are factored into the equation, the Liberal leader could be out of pocket to the tune of $2m.

 But that’s not the most costly part …
