I also have listened.
What struck me was that this seemed to be a fact finding meeting. What I suspect Moira Deeming thought the meeting after the rally was, when that meeting after the rally was not quite what some seem to say it was while the team seemed to have made up their minds prior to the meeting.
And as a fact finding meeting, Pesutto had no formed solution to recommend. So I am not sure what it is that Moira Deeming is supposed to be rejecting here.
She indicates she will listen to what he suggests, although she rightly also states what she sees as the solution from her point of view.
Unless there was a recording of the later meeting and I missed it?
What is also clear is that Moira Deeming was upfront and asked for advice on how to manage her views on women’s and children’s rights and the impacts of gender identity being prioritised and she received no response.
This is a strong indicator that she was prepared to work with the leadership team before ‘incident 1’ - the maiden speech.
She also seemed to me to be asking for women and children’s rights to be given higher priority by the party. And for women and children to receive clearer support. As well as people who are transgender.
She seems to have wanted the liberal party to say that they would work to ensure all groups had their needs met. And from that recording of that meeting that was dodged.
