In the corridors of institutional power, loyalty and legitimacy are rarely settled by courts alone. Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming, whose first term has been defined by controversy and conflict, was stripped of her party candidacy for the November state election just days after withdrawing her own legal challenge against the Liberal executive — a gesture of conciliation that was met with finality rather than forgiveness.
