Nominations reopened briefly, with challengers either rejected or withdrawing, leaving Deeming as the only contender awaiting formal endorsement.
Victorian Liberals dump Moira Deeming in upper house preselection contest

Only-moderately-RWNJ Dinesh Gourisetty has won party preselection for a place on the ballot, putting an and to Moira Deeming's dream of reelection to the Upper House. Curiously, she didn't seek nomination for the second slot on the ticket, but I'm taking her loss as a sign that members of the Liberal Party of Victoria remember the absolute maelstrom of shit that ensued last time she was active in the Liberal Party of Victoria, and decided they don't want her back. The party's apathy toward Moira Deeming may have something to do with her running a defamation lawsuit against John Pesutto, the former leader of her own party (which has not been settled fully, and she may yet use to bankrupt him), her transphobia, her horrific anti-abortion stance, and her public appearances and endorsements of TERF and neo-Nazi ideologues.

“Gilbert is being flown into #Australia by #Advance to be a key speaker at a conference in #Sydney, alongside former prime minister #TonyAbbott and #Liberal MP #MoiraDeeming. He is billed to make a half-hour speech on Saturday morning titled: ‘The quiet #coup: how judicial politicisation threatens democratic society.’”
Tony 🤪 and his nutter mates are getting the band back together.

Probably still went, now just going for the full lobotomy, no doubt.
Werribee
Werribee is a safe Labor seat, so John Lister won despite a swing against him. That said, he was assisted by preference-votes flowing to him from candidates on the left. The ALP should not take those preferences for granted, and in next year's Federal election those preferences could easily go to the Greens or a Teal candidate.
The LNP and its mainstream media arm are touting it as a large swing to them, but in private their analysts will be disappointed with the small boost to their primary vote (+3.7%).
The Greens had a good opportunity to steal votes from Labor but failed to perform (+0.7%), and should be grateful they didn't receive a thrashing from the voters.
The real winners in Werribee are:
- Independent, Paul Hopper (+8.8%)
- Victoria Socialist, Sue Munro (+3.7%)
- Legalise Cannabis Xavier Menta (+5.5%)
Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party of Victoria, Sam Groth (who?!) showed everyone what an absolute knob he is. At a staged press event in Prahran yesterday, he took the spotlight away from the by-election, blathered about the 2026 election, and as a disrespectful afterthought, he added: "How good’s Rachel Westaway, by the way?"
To make matters worse, the Liberal Party of Victoria gave oxygen to Upper House MP Moira Deeming in Werribee. The Liberal Party of Victoria previously expelled her for being a Nazi and TERF. She's repeatedly made transphobic statements and hung-out with White Supremacists. She riled-up the electorate's fears by lying about a crimewave afflicting the region, and other paranoid nonsense.

Prahran
Prahran was called to this by-election because its sitting Greens member, Sam Hibbins, had an affair with a staffer and quit. He was co-deputy leader and has at times been considered leadership material of the Greens. Angelica Di Camillo stepped-up for the Greens in Prahran in December. Previously, she'd run for the state seat of Rowville in 2022, and the 2023 by-election for the federal seat of Aston. Angelica Di Camillo was always going to face an uphill battle for recognition in a short campaign, and did extremely well to maintain the Greens primary vote (-0.6%).
Labor didn't endorse a candidate for Prahran! If you don't run, you guarantee a loss! What a bunch of bumbling numpties!
Former Labor member for Prahran, Tony Lupton, ran as an Independent, and has links with the lobby group, Advance, which has a conservative, racist, nationalist platform. Tony Lupton was a willing fool who signed-up to Advance to funnel his preference votes to the Liberal Party. Tony Lupton is also openly a Zionist, so voters who care about Israel's genocide in Palestine fled from him (-14.0%).
In my opinion, the Greens lost Prahran to the Libs due to:
- The sudden departure of Sam Hibbins.
- Angelica Di Camillo having approx two months to establish herself and run a campaign.
- Toxic astroturfing campaigning for Local Council in recent months by the Liberal Party. The AEC/VEC should investigate their fake grass-roots pages on Facebook.
- The 'meh' image of Federal Greens.
Liberal Party fans may claim to have a "mandate", but Rachel Westaway's primary vote was only 36.2% with a modest swing (+4.8%). Without the preference support of Tony Lupton (12.8%), Prahran would have gone to Angelica Di Camillo, who achieved a respectable 48.4% of the two-candidate preferred votes.

This weekend's by-elections in Prahran and Werribee have provided predictable results from voters, and predictable behaviour from politicians.
By-elections are odd beasts. When candidates run on local issues, the individuals gets to shine, and independents get a chance. But, they get overshadowed by federal or state politicians when there's a state election of a federal election around the corner.

A sickness has taken hold of the Victorian Liberal Party. They've had ample time and attempts to find their way out of this mess of transphobia and white supremacy. Today's LibSpill makes it clear that any attempts to fix the problem were made by a minority in the party. Today, the majority voted to amplify the voices of TERFs and nazis.
This is the heart of the issue the Victorian Liberal Party party-room voted on today. They eagerly dived down that slippery slope to extremism. To them, it's the politically expedient path to power. They voted to normalise hate.
What's the role of politicians and leadership in a Representative Democracy? Some say it's the job of politicians to listen to and interpret the will of the people, then act as their voice in Parliament. Another view is that politicians are leaders and ideal thinkers, elected in recognition of their wisdom, and in the hope that they possess the insight to do what's morally best for the wellbeing of the people.
If you think what I said there is a massive simplification, you'd be right: real life is a lot more complicated. Regardless of which school of thought you follow — that politicians are a mere conduit to recite the voice of the plebs, or that politicians are great men who are born to rule with inscrutable paternalism — the Liberal Party of Victoria have lost sight of the party's very reason for existence.
Are they doing their job of representing the will of the people in their electorates? If they are, that says something absolutely sickening about Victorians. Or, are they trying to shepherd the citizens of Victoria by shifting the Overton Window to a new right-wing extreme?
When it's time to vote in the next state election, remember today, and remember this quote from Maya Angelou:
"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."
