It was never going to be easy for the Liberal Party to break up with Moira Deeming, even though this had become a mutually destructive relationship.

Deeming had grown deeply resentful of her “tormentors” – a word she used this week to describe some of her party room colleagues – and the party well sick of Deeming.

It wasn’t just that she made a ridiculous, unsubstantiated allegation of assault against Matthew Guy, although this is bad enough.

It was also a problem that Deeming could no longer be trusted to carry out her basic duties as an upper house MP – turning up to party room meetings, answering the bell for divisions, staying in parliament late into the morning when this is required to debate legislation.
