It seems Pesutto is a LINO? - wrote for the Age and appeared on a weekly spot on Virginia rioli's ABC Radio Melbourne programme (according to Paul Collits)
If this is the case, isn't his job to undermine the Libs? Seems to be the modus operandi, to destroy from within.
Moira should set up her own party - 'The Genuine Liberal Party'.
I was thinking along those lines too! Has anyone suggested it...while she's in tbe spotlight. I truly wish Victorian politicians would wake up from their 'woke' nightmares and open their windows to fresh air...and fresh opportunities. Flush out all the corruption and underhanded 'deals' then start running the state efficiently AND honestly!!
After venting my spleen on every social media page I follow I’m almost out of words. I’ll repeat that he’s a nasty mean vindictive little man. No vote needed - automatic welcome back!
How is this even allowed? It seems that there is never any consequence if a politician is prepared to abuse his power.
It was astounding to me to learn that , instead of being sacked for telling an objectively provable lie in our Parliament, that parliamentarians have more freedom of speech rights, to include lying.
There is something extremely rotten in our 'democracy' if it relies upon people acting with integrity. Those who don't must be accountable immediately.
This situation is utterly insane.
Thank you, James. Many LOL moments in that article again. Your take is always so clear, helpful and hilarious in spite of the subject matter!
One of the reasons we don’t have strong government (regardless Local State or Federal) in Australia is that for good government to exist, you also need strong opposition. The current debacle going on in Victoria in the Liberal party is a clear example of a weak leader of a weak opposition. This is not new however, the Liberals in Victoria have been weak and divided for many years - which is one of the reasons why the Victorian economy and political landscape is plagued with problems.
If the Liberal Party wants to win office, it needs to grow a backbone and be prepared to make a few decisions on things that matter. Good leadership needs to happen from the top down - wherein lies the problem. The current leadership needs to change, otherwise they will get rolled again at the next state election and have no one else to blame but themselves!
But I guess the old saying “You can’t fix stupid” is likely to railroad any form of common sense, so get ready for the bleachers!!!!
Half plus one of the Victorian parliamentary ‘Liberal’ party voted to keep Moira Deeming out. Apparently there are many more Pesuttos in the Victorian ‘Liberal’ party than just the ‘leader’. Shame they can’t all be sued for defamation all over again (for the lie) and forced to stump up $300,000 each.
This man is contemptible. In his position, I believe a real leader would have voted her back in and THEN had the humility to resign as leader. Nobody would vote for him to be premier now. He cannot lead his party to victory. Ever… and now this matter is finished with.
I particularly like the response of Tony Abbot who I still think would still be PM if he had a loyal party instead of a gaggle of wet dream bed wetters in his party .
Why would Moira want to go back into that party room? Half of these people voted against her She should resign from the Liberal Party and join one that has morals, if in face there is such a political party. John Pesuto has done the Liberal Party such a disservice that I would suggest many people will never vote Liberal again! What a vile man that "leader" is!
What a time to live in Victoria! $188B debt from one side of the political circus and nothing but clowns on the other side. The fact that Chairman Dan didn’t lose the last election here shows that voting Liberal in this state is just not possible. That should have been an un-winnable election for the communist party, but unfortunately the Liberal party was not recognized as a viable alternative. With their current leadership, they are unlikely to attract enough votes to cause the communist party to lose the next election either…so our state debt will continue to blow out, our regional roads will keep deteriorating to dust, our schools will keep teaching our kids more about distorted sexuality than academia, we will still be in the dark about what a woman is and we will continue to be mocked by the rest of the country while those who can afford it, will continue to move to Queensland leaving the rest of us here drowning in debt we didn’t cause and brought us no benefit. Dan continues to earn $300k a year for the rest of his earthly life though, so we’re good here.
go Moira, finally some sense in Victoria
He’s a pathetic excuse for a man. The Libs that voted with him are worse.

Just another gutless dago maggot like our pm .More power to that lady.

It is patently obvious why labor want to disarm the civil population, Those "people "are frightened of us if they stuff us up too much.

Brilliant JM
Truly appalling behaviour.
A reminder of the type of people who choose to become politicians.

Just another gutless maggot just a clone of "that person "cut from the same cloth .
I don’t know why people still support the Liberal coalition. They’re well and truly cooked.
Had to laugh out loud at the closing remarks
Well done James

An absolute debacle the VIC liberals are. We are never going to get rid of Labor in this State.
How is John Pesutto ever going to claim he cares about women and their rights? He can’t, and he doesn’t.
Meanwhile Jacinta Allan (union bosses) appointment a woman (although not qualified), to be the first female Treasurer.

Moria is a champion. But I don't understand how she remains a "Proud Liberal" not sure how she stays a Liberall.
