Moira Deeming

Moira Deeming is a Victorian Liberal upper house Member of Parliament representing the Western Metropolitan Region. She is currently newsworthy due to facing a preselection challenge within the Liberal party ahead of the upcoming state election. This challenge is significant as it will determine her political future within the party. Dinesh Gourisetty, who defeated Deeming for the top spot on the party’s upper house ballot previously, is also nominated for the upper house seat. Recent reports indicate that Gourisetty is facing scrutiny and potential expulsion from the party due to providing a character reference for a convicted sex offender. Deeming has stated she intends to fight to retain her seat. The outcome of the preselection battle will determine whether Deeming continues to represent the Liberal party in the Victorian upper house.
