Moira Deeming epitomises religious infiltration in the Victorian Liberals.

There's a lot missing from Moira's profile. Perhaps Liberal HQ can refer to this thread and add it?

Reportedly, Deeming has been banned from speaking to the media, so this thread can fill you in.

1/11

Moira's Liberal Party profile doesn't mention Moira was Secretary for anti-abortion group, 'March for the Babies'.

Listen to 19 seconds of Moira at their anti-abortion rally. Note who Moira thanks.

Deeming will vote to stop women accessing abortion.

2/11

Moira also likes to turn up to Council meetings, posing as a member of the public, to ask questions related to her crusade to stop transgender people from using public toilets.

This is missing from Moira's profile too.

This is a thread about technology and unfathomable stupidity by the Victorian Liberals.

When I was 14, my year 9 Business Studies teacher gave me a punishment consisting of writing 'I will not be disruptive in class' 400 times. I had until the following morning to complete.

1/9

I went home, typed out the line once on my Commodore Amiga, spent 30 seconds copying and pasting it 400 times, and smiled as the lines rapidly appeared on my Dot Matrix printer.

I handed in the printed document the following morning to my easily impressed teacher.

If yesterday afternoon's Victorian Liberal Party Media release is anything to go by, I suspect that everyone in Liberal HQ, and @johnpesutto's team would be as amazed at my 14 year old copy / paste routine today, as my year 9 teacher was in 1990.

Q. What's the difference between Lyle Shelton's Christian Family First party and the Victorian Liberals?

A. Lyle and his party don't try to hide their bigotry, or disregard of science or their desire to forcefully impose a particular brand of religion on every Victorian.

As Lyle's Christian party announces the roll back on the ban on discredited and unfathomably cruel Gay Conversion therapy, it's worth remembering there are many in the Liberal National coalition who want to do this same.

Here's Tim Smith and Bernie Finn arguing about it.

2/4

When Matt Guy won the leadership, he appointed James Newbury as Shadow Minister for Equality. James wanted to firm the party's support for a ban on gay conversion therapy.

Nationals leader Peter Walsh said 'James can go and get f*&cked'.

I've been sitting on a document, unsure what to do with it.

I've decided to share it today.

I'm not prone to exaggeration, but if this document is true, it throws doubt on the legitimacy of Victorian Liberal candidates, and the party by extension. #springst

1/10

I'm sharing the document because I think everyone should know about it, but more importantly to encourage journalists to ask serious questions.

I'm told that Senior Liberals are familiar with this document, and if true, that's deeply troubling.

2/10

I understand people will want to know the source of this document. I've received it on the condition of not identifying that person.

I will say however, that the individual who provided it is a 'blue tick' twitter user, so is therefore not anonymous.

Queenslander Peter Dutton, in one of the most embarrassing moments in Australian Parliamentary history yelled out 'where's Yeppen?' in an attempt to mock and humiliate Anthony Albanese, thinking that Albanese couldn't pronounce 'Yeppoon'.

1/4

Dutton's gaffe was so embarrassing, that left to stand as it was, would've plagued him for the remainder of the term.

Liberal spin-masters acted quickly, and set about reframing, so, Albanese the bully was invented, and a press conference called.

2/4

In trying to cheaply humiliate Albanese, Peter Dutton humiliated himself.

In a case of, 'who are you going to believe, the Liberal spin-masters, or your very own ears and eyes?', I don't think anyone believes Michelle Landry's Dutton cover routine.

Matthew Guy has just had a secret meeting with The Australian Christian Lobby, which is the same thing he did prior to the 2018 election.

In 2018, Matthew Guy promised to bring special religious education back to primary schools.

1/8

This was despite huge efforts by parents to get proselytising evangelical organisations like Access Ministries out of state schools.

In 2014, Access Ministries, the main provider of religious education in Vic, gave biblezines to students telling them homosexuality is a sin.

2/8

When Michael O'Brien became leader he also made promises to the Australian Christian Lobby.

He promised to wind back elements of the ban on gay conversion therapy in order to secure the votes of religious conservatives who want gay people to 'pray the gay away'.
