The husband of exiled Liberal MP Moira Deeming has detailed the devastating consequences that occurred after his wife was painted as a Nazi sympathiser by Victorian opposition leader John Pesutto. Picture: Sky News Australia “She is now very rarely jovial when that was one of the main traits she was known for previously. She is withdrawn and afraid to go out in public.
This led Mr Pesutto and other members of the Liberal Party’s leadership team to attempt to expel Ms Deeming from the parliamentary wing of the Liberal Party. “She looked stunned. She was teary and quiet. I could tell she was deeply saddened to read the media release. Then she started panicking about how everyone would think she and our family were Nazis,” he said.
“She looked scared and tense like an animal caught in a trap. She kept crying on and off,” he said, adding that in the subsequent days “Moira withdrew into herself”. Mr Deeming explained how “Moira had previously always loved campaigning” and he had observed how natural she was speaking to voters and how well they responded to her.
This fear of being in public also developed into Ms deeming becoming “more and more anxious” about having to go to Parliament for sitting weeks.
