Ousted Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming received voicemail messages from people “looking for a Nazi”, suggesting that she “kill herself” and telling her to “move in with Pauline Hanson” after she attended a rally that was gatecrashed by neo-Nazis, the federal court has heard.
Deeming, now an independent MP after her expulsion from the state parliamentary Liberal party, is suing the state opposition leader, John Pesutto, for allegedly falsely portraying her as a Nazi sympathiser after she spoke at a 2023 “Let Women Speak” rally in Melbourne which was gatecrashed by neo-Nazis who repeatedly performed the Hitler salute. Pesutto has rejected the allegation.
