As any sensible man knows, telling an angry woman to be quiet is almost never going to work out in your favour. But the wet, weak fools running the supposedly conservative party in Victoria are not sensible men. Women across the world are very angry right now — and they’re not about to shut up, just because they’re told to by a bunch of violent misogynists in dresses, and their spineless enablers. “Women won’t wheesht”, as a popular Twitter hashtag put it, in the guid Scots tongue.
Real women, that is: not male fetishists in lipstick.
And proving just how futile it is to shout at an angry woman to shut up, the formidable Moira Deeming is very, very far from hauding her wheesht. If anything, the bullying campaign by the trannies and the jelly-backed LINOs of the Victorian Liberals is firing Deeming up admirably.
More evidence has emerged that Victorian Liberal leader John Pesutto’s expulsion of dissident MP Moira Deeming is not – how do we put this? – having the desired effect.
The upper house member for the Western Metropolitan Region, who is suing Pesutto for defamation, will take to the stage in the south-east on Wednesday night as a guest speaker at the Liberal Party’s Frankston State Electorate Conference (SEC) general meeting.
The appearance before the Frankston faithful comes hot on the heels of an online interview with NSW dissident Liberal Matthew Camenzuli, who can probably identify with Deeming’s struggle, having taken former prime minister Scott Morrison to court over Liberal preselections before the 2019 federal election.
What the extraordinary campaign to silence Deeming, and her grassroots popularity, really show is just how much the supposedly “conservative” establishment are out of touch with rank-and-file conservative voters.
Frankston SEC chairman Trevor Stewart told us there was “considerable interest” among the local Liberal membership. Although he wasn’t “at liberty” to tell us how many had signed up to attend, CBD wouldn’t bet against a full house tonight.
However, Deeming, who has been spotted at Liberal events since her expulsion, told us that she received many invitations to speak at Liberal groups – and was more inclined to accept now than when she was battling against the leader’s efforts to expel her from his party room.
The MP – who remains a card-carrying party member despite being expelled from caucus – said local Liberal officials risked the wrath of the party’s hierarchy for inviting Deeming along to speak.

And yet, they are inviting her — and members are turning up in droves.
Is anyone in the Liberal leadership actually listening? Of course not — no more than their counterparts across the Tasman, in National and ACT.
These blue-green clowns keep deluding themselves that the way to win elections is to ape the idiotic nostrums of the green-left. And that’s why they keep losing elections.
The redoubtable Ms Deeming, meanwhile, is a rising superstar among grassroots conservatives.
CBD was intrigued when exiled state Liberal MP Moira Deeming popped up on top-rating Sydney talkback station 2GB of all places on Thursday morning for a chat with breakfast host Ben Fordham.
The two talked about Deeming’s appearance that morning at a Let Women Speak event at the NSW parliament featuring some other controversial figures: Sall Grover, Holly Lawford-Smith and, of course, Katherine Deves.
A Victorian parliament backbencher appearing on Sydney’s 2GB (a Nine stablemate of The Age) must be a bit of an oddity, we thought.
However, it wasn’t so strange, Fordham explained, telling CBD later in the day that he’d had politicians from every art and part on air, just as long as they had something to say that would interest his audience.
The jock said that the ultimately successful push by Victorian Liberal leader John Pesutto to expel Deeming from his parliamentary team had given her a higher profile than her former boss.
“I’d say that more of my listeners would have heard of her than would have heard of John Pesutto,” Fordham said.
Let’s hope for the opposition leader’s sake that’s not the case in Victoria too.
The Age
Oh, they’ve heard of him, in Victoria. They’re just rejecting his invertebrate brand of wet, weak, “Us too!” politics.
They’ll hear even more of him when, as is likely, he ends up in court fighting another defamation case from a righteously angry woman.
Kellie-Jay Keen has accused John Pesutto of telling “egregious lies” that have put her safety and that of other women at risk.
In an exclusive interview, the Britain-based women’s rights activist said she was considering taking legal action against the Victorian Opposition Leader, meaning he could face a second defamation suit in addition to a case expelled MP Moira Deeming says she intends to file in the Federal Court in August.
Ms Deeming will this week issue the Liberal leader with a third concerns notice, with the intention of initiating Federal Court proceedings 28 days later.

Turns out that sneering, “Shut up, Nazi” at women trying to defend their rights against predatory autogynephiles isn’t the smartest move, after all.
