Victoria’s opposition leader, John Pesutto, says he has no plans to make changes to the state’s laws on abortion or its ban on gay conversion practices, but has refused to condemn a Liberal party MP’s views on the issues.
Moira Deeming on Tuesday gave her maiden speech to parliament’s upper house, in which she called for an inquiry into transition practices in Victoria and railed against Covid-19 restrictions, Safe Schools, sex work regulations and measures to include trans women in female-only change rooms and sports.
