  5. Moira Deeming set to be disendorsed as a Liberal candidate after dropping Supreme Court action
    abc.net.au/news/2026-07-16/moi

    Moira Deeming, TERF, apparent friend of neo-nazis, and unflushable turd for the Liberal Party of Victoria, looks like she's finally going. Opposition Leader, Jess Wilson, doesn't have much choice: she knows it's too much of a shocking truth for voters to see, and even former supporters of Moira Deeming are looking shy.

    Amusingly, after nearly bankrupting the opposition leader at the time, John Pesutto, the party drained its own coffers to prop him up. And, now Moira Deeming is facing the prospect of bankruptcy. She had a mysterious financial backer (DON'T WE ALL?!) give her a multi-million dollar loan to pay for legal proceedings. Now, he's been revealed to be a property developer from NSW, and he wants his money back quickly. I can only hope this house of cards collapses for these terrible people.

  7. I'm not so convinced the state Labor government is on its way out, even given its many faults. The alternatives are very unsavoury. I could imagine them continuing on, though in minority.

    "In 2023, the year after his diagnosis with blood cancer, Neill told ABC TV’s Australian Story: 'I’m not in any way frightened of dying. That has never worried me from the beginning. But I would be annoyed because there are things I still want to do.'

    "It was a terrific attitude that reflected an acceptance of death and desire to stay purposeful in life.

    "It is an attitude the Victorian government could learn a thing or two from as it confronts its own political morbidity."

  9. Interesting. I did think after the last election, where Labor's primary vote slumped in the west, that I independents would be targeting Labor this time. #vicpol theage.com.au/politics/victori

  11. The whole Pam the Bird thing in Melbourne this week goes to show nothing more than the carcero-industrial system of cops, government officials, and the courts are wrapped up in their own importance and a purse-lipped view of what is “proper” rather than the fact that all the Pam graffiti makes people smile.

  15. Hot take: Moira Deeming is a ON plant to make the Libs even less electable and hence help ON's chances.

    Moira clearly misunderstood the meaning of the term 'headlock'.

    She was under the clear impression that it means something like; 'another $Mill defamation payout'.

    It's easy to make mistakes, I have even made some myself.
