Liberal MP Moira Deeming has successfully obtained a Supreme Court injunction to delay a Liberal Party state executive meeting scheduled to vote on her disendorsement as an upper house candidate for November's election. The legal action stems from her refusal to apologise to fellow Liberal MP Matthew Guy after accusing him of assault and putting her in a headlock at an event last month, despite a police investigation finding no offence detected. The matter will return to court on 17 July, with Deeming's legal arguments remaining sealed in undisclosed documents.
