Liberal MP Referred to Anti-Corruption Watchdog Over Alleged Preselection Bargain

Date:

Moira Deeming offered a deal seeking her preselection in exchange for easing former Liberal leader John Pesutto’s legal debt of $2.3 million.

Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming has been referred to the state’s anti-corruption watchdog after a proposed arrangement surfaced that would have seen her secure preselection in return for easing a legal debt owed by former Opposition Leader John Pesutto.

A member of the public submitted a formal complaint to the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC) following media reports about the offer, which did not come to fruition.
