Ousted Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming agreed her views on transgender and gender-diverse people were controversial" within the party, as she began giving evidence in a high-stakes defamation battle.

Deeming is suing the state Liberal leader, John Pesutto, for allegedly falsely portraying her as a Nazi sympathiser after she spoke at the March 2023 Let Women Speak" rally that was gatecrashed by neo-Nazis. She was expelled from the party less than two months later after initially being suspended.
