Well that’s a bit exciting. Now we’ll find out how much influence Jeff Kennett still has over the Vic Libs. He’s allegedly bankrolled Pesutto’s legal costs.

Breaking: Five shadow cabinet ministers have signed a letter calling for a party meeting. Pesutto is facing a spill on Friday, 28 December.

The lions are circling and the vultures are hovering. But I won’t write him off. Victorian Liberals are not having a quiet Christmas.

A by-election has been called for 8 February in Pahran.

I read this earlier. It is interesting to see the machinations. He is twisting and twisting.

Wow. Should the defamer not have had to withdraw himself as he was shown to have had her ousted under false pretences in the first place? Why does a shown dodgy politician (who is possibly now embittered vengeful after having been exposed as untruthful and dishonest in a court judgement) get to continue his vendetta against a woman who annoys him as she stands up for the rights of women and children.

This. He was found in court to have defamed another member. Why are they not voting to decide whether he should be expelled?

Patriarchy and factions, and lack of morals in general for Liberals.

Such a sad tweet from Angie Jones;

I joke and pretend to be overjoyed that John Pesuttos leadership is in peril but in all honesty, underneath is a pit despair. I would give anything to go back to life before I was defamed. I didn’t even speak at rally because I didn’t want to be the centre of attention. I just wanted to significantly contribute to helping raise awareness of the issues women are facing and I thought Kellie-Jay was our best bet. And for trying to help women I have been lied about by politicians, betrayed by the one sided media, and subjected to horrific threats and abuse. If women like Moira & Kath Deves, who have experience with the media, hadn’t coached me through the worst days I probably wouldn’t be here. Being lied about to the world, called the second vilest thing imaginable, without any right of reply has had a devastating impact on my life. I get no joy from justice seeming to be served (except for on Moira’s behalf). I will never understand how those 4 politicians could do what they did. I’m not a politician. I’m a private citizen, a single mother of school age children. I had no way of defending myself. It hurts that the allegations were continually published but not the exoneration. It hurts that I will never see my own justice. Conflictingly I feel deep relief and joy that Moira has been exonerated and it looks like she has been returned to the party! I hope valuable lessons have been learned.

@Imnobody4 I do feel so much sympathy for Angie.

Pesutto tried to ruin the lives of three women as a result of his defamatory statements regarding the Let Women Speak meeting: Kellie-Jay Keen Minshull, Moira Deeming and Angie Jones.

And he still, despite being found to have made defamatory statements, shows not one bit of remorse for his selfish and nasty actions towards these women. He knew what he was doing and he didn't care if he ruined their lives and reputations.

GargoylesofBeelzebub · 27/12/2024 00:47

He's out!!!!

TheSandgroper · 27/12/2024 01:42

Brad Battin is an ex police officer so hopefully he understands the single sex spaces thing. Sam Groth is a tennis player so one assumes he understands testosterone and it’s effects.

Bye Pesutto!

What a sweet victory for Deeming. He’s gone as leader and she’s back in the room. I read that the vote for her was 23-4.

Helleofabore · 27/12/2024 06:03

Yay! And over the Christmas break too!!

That shows determination !

AlisonDonut · 27/12/2024 06:06

Oh. Is this why FAFO was trending 2 hours ago?

Fucking fantastic.

Helleofabore · 27/12/2024 06:07

And largely over a very poorly put together scurrilous dossier that someone should have spent more than ‘10 minutes’, or was it 20, putting together. And if I was those men who put that dossier together, I would hide the fact that I was involved.

Ahhh but remember. We were told the dossier was based on nothing but truth by so many posters.

nauticant · 27/12/2024 06:36

And of course, the situation could have been rescued for a long time after the dossier was created. Simply by doing a frank mea culpa and providing a sincere apology. But, as is often the case in the genderism space, for some reason people would rather go down with the ship causing all kinds of collateral damage than admit they've been talking cobblers.

FeralWoman · 27/12/2024 07:19

If you search for “libspill” as a hashtag on Twitter you’ll find tweets about the leadership spill.

It was just on the tv news. Deeming said that today Pesutto shook her hand and said sorry. She said that it meant a lot and publicly thanked him. I don’t believe that he meant it.

I’m confused as to how Pesutto polls so well and has such a high approval rating in Victoria. What do Victorians like about him? I’ve seen people say that he’s a good communicator and honest. Ha ha ha! No he’s not!

He's actually pathetic. It will just make it all the sweeter when he gets in the bin, I suppose.

A week. He lasted a week. Including two public holidays plus Christmas Eve, barely three working days.

Fuckity bye then JP

Imnobody4 · 27/12/2024 08:00

Now that is justice. I hope all the now absent supporters realise they're on the wrong side of history.

AlisonDonut · 27/12/2024 08:02

Presumably now, without the potential for favours if in power, he won't have a sugar daddy to pay his legal bills and damage bills to Moira.

BoreOfWhabylon · 27/12/2024 08:18

Well this is excellent news indeed.
Does he have to pay Moira's costs too?

AlisonDonut · 27/12/2024 09:00

I think we are still waiting to find out what costs on top of the damages to Moira.

BezMills · 27/12/2024 09:03

It would be funny if some wag itemised it and put a figure to how much his 4 days of him saying "err well yanno, yeah but no nahyeahnah" is going to cost him. Those lawyers and their staff don't come cheap.

AlisonDonut · 27/12/2024 09:08

Someone will I imagine once we know the full costs.

But wow. If only they'd all stood up for Moira at the time. It's Angie I really feel for in all this though.

FeralWoman · 27/12/2024 10:05

BoreOfWhabylon · 27/12/2024 08:18

Well this is excellent news indeed.
Does he have to pay Moira's costs too?

Yes. It was in the defamation judgement. There’s a few dates each party has to submit costs by, with the final date 28 Feb 2025 I think. The final costs amount will be determined after that.

@AlisonDonut Angie got so screwed over in all of this. She can’t even say shit about him publicly because of a no disparagement clause in the agreement she has with him.
