Under-pressure Victorian Liberal leader John Pesutto has swatted away criticism from a top UN official about his treatment of expelled Liberal Moira Deeming, saying he was more focused on the state's budget.
Two weeks ago Ms Deeming was expelled from the Victorian Liberal Party's parliamentary team, ending a two-month fight over her association with March's Let Women Speak rally, an anti-trans rights protest at State parliament that was gatecrashed by neo-Nazis.
