Deeming’s Candidacy Hangs in Balance | Australia News

Liberal MP Moira Deeming could be stripped of her candidacy for the November election after accusing former leader Matthew Guy of assault — a claim that led to a police investigation closed without charges. Despite pressure from Guy and Opposition Leader Jess Wilson, Deeming refuses to apologize, even admitting she may have misinterpreted the term “headlock” but insists no apology is warranted. The party’s state executive will vote Friday on whether she stays on the ballot — not whether she’s expelled from the party — and insiders say she’ll be given a platform to speak, a move seen as unusually generous. Wilson has vowed to stay focused on governing and won’t comment further until the matter is resolved.
