Anyone watching the Deeming v Pesutto defo trial?
Impressions
Deeming comes across as an indignant dumbass, and I can’t help but believe Pesutto, Southwick and Crozier’s view that she was not remorseful or willing to do what she needed to do to unfuck things after the nazi-adjacent rally. Deeming did not seem to understand she does have certain obligations to step in line behind the Liberal brand and focus on issues that might have a reasonable chance of winning seats in an election.
Pesutto was not threatening her when he said an option was that she could resign from the party to prosecute her views – instead of ultimately being expelled for bringing legal action against him.
Deeming plays a victim, claims she was powerless and limp, suggests she has no idea how to write a press release and claims she was subject to bullying or being railroaded by the Liberal leadership team. Simply did not occur that way in my opinion. She dominates the meetings that were recorded, routinely talks over colleagues and plays ignorant about the issue at hand.
She’s a moron.
It’s hard to come to any other conclusion.
