Former Liberal MP Moira Deeming is announced as a candidate for the November Victorian state election, running under the Family First banner.
The reports say Deeming was removed from the Liberal Party in July and that she is no longer seeking election as a Liberal. ABC Australia frames the announcement in the context of her being “cast out” of her former party, while The West Australian and PerthNow describe it as her “next move” after being sacked. All outlets present the same core information: the change in party affiliation and the fact she will contest the Victorian election.
While the coverage varies in wording—some emphasizing her departure from the Liberals and others emphasizing her choice of a new party—the articles do not provide detailed policy positions or additional background on her candidacy beyond her new affiliation and timing for the state election.
