Moira Deeming is an Australian politician and member of the Victorian Legislative Council, the upper house of the Parliament of Victoria, for the Western Metropolitan Region since November 2022. She previously sat as a councillor for the Melton City Council representing the Watts Ward. Deeming is known for her views on transgender people. On 18 March 2023, she spoke at an anti-trans rally, which she helped organise, outside of the Victorian Parliament. The rally was attended by a neo-Nazi group who repeatedly performed Nazi salutes from the steps of Parliament. Following Deeming's participation in the rally, then-leader of the opposition John Pesutto announced that he would move to have her expelled from the parliamentary Liberal Party. On 27 March 2023, Deeming was suspended from the parliamentary Liberal Party for nine months. After repeated legal threats against Pesutto, she was indefinitely expelled from the parliamentary party room on 12 May 2023. In December 2024 the Federal Court ruled that Pesutto had defamed Deeming by suggesting that she associates with Nazis. Deeming was readmitted to the parliamentary Liberal Party on 27 December 2024. On 17 July 2026, she had her Liberal Party endorsement for the 2026 election revoked. She withdrew her Liberal Party membership on 28 July.
