What do you get if you combine Attila the Hun, Jack the Ripper, and Genghis Khan? Why, a conservative Christian politician of course! At least, that is the message the Labor Party, the loony left, and the Victorian media want you to believe.

The Herald Sun wrote about the newly elected Liberal politician, Moira Deeming, detailing some earlier emails of hers that were uncovered. It was a scandal worthy of the main feature story on the website last Thursday.

Her crimes? Deeming thinks babies should not be murdered in the thousands; marriage is between a man and a woman; and males cannot become females (and vice versa). Worse, she is a biblical Christian! Crucify her already. We can not allow such a horrible people to be anywhere near our political process. Sack her now!!!

That appears to be the view of Labor and the rather screechy secular left.

Emails from a Victorian Liberal MP have been unearthed, exposing extremist views on sex workers and the transgender community. Sex Work Law Reform Victoria sought a Freedom of Information request between the Melton City Council and member for the Western Metropolitan region, Moira Deeming.

In the explosive emails sent between 2020 and 2022, Ms Deeming shared her intent to change abortion laws in Victoria and expressed a fervent opposition to the LGQBTIQ++ community, in particular the transgender rights movement.

As a former high school teacher, Ms Deeming has since critiqued the education sector in Victoria since her win at last year’s state election. In one email, Deeming said that she did not win her Liberal preselection on ‘merit’, rather it was an act of divine intervention. ‘I did not win (Liberal Party preselection) on merit … I won because God arranged it.’ she said.

These are rather mainstream religious views. If a Muslim MP had said something similar, and thanked Allah for helping him get elected, would the mainstream media be baying for his blood? I don’t think so. There is only one belief system that can be criticised in this way with no consequences.

The piece goes on:

Andrews government minister Danny Pearson on Thursday said Ms Deeming’s views on abortion were ‘appalling’. ‘I think it would be a retrograde step that would take us back to the dark ages,’ he said. ‘What do people actually want to see happen? Poorer women who couldn’t afford to see a healthcare professional haemorrhaging in the back alleyways of Melbourne because they can’t afford healthcare? ‘That was the lived experience for the generations before us here. ‘We are a progressive city. The notion that the right’s of women are going to be dragged back to the 1950s, I find appalling.’

Good grief. Is it ‘appalling’ to want innocent and helpless babies saved from being led to the slaughter? Is that so Stone-agey? Imagine adhering to what most people have believed for millennia … that ‘do no harm’ is the first principle of medicine, as even the pagan Hippocratic Oath proposed 2,500 years ago. How long before it vanishes from medical school? I never quite understood how pushing the right to kill babies for any reason makes a city ‘progressive’. The real work of progress, the real advance of civilisation, has always been to protect life, defend the innocent, and thwart those who want to be free to kill at will.

But leave it to Daniel Andrews to really take the cake:

Premier Daniel Andrews hit back at her inaugural speech, which took aim at sex workers and transgender Victorians’ ‘extreme’ attempts at gaining equality. However, less than 24 hours later the Premier said he had no interest hearing what Ms Deeming had to say.

‘I didn’t hear her speech, I’m almost certain I won’t read it and almost equally certain that the member of parliament would love nothing more than me to be talking about her on the back door of parliament to try and push forward and propagate an agenda,’ he said.

Mr Andrews went on to say Ms Deeming’s stance wasn’t an ‘example of the best of’ Victorians. ‘You know, we are an inclusive, harmonious, respectful place where equality is not negotiable and that’s always been my view; it’s always been our policy,’ he said.

You have to love it when lefties drone on and on about being ‘an inclusive, harmonious, respectful place’. What they really mean is inclusive of people who share their political ideas, which is not genuine inclusiveness.

One wonders how long will it be before the spineless Liberal Party decides young Moira is too hot to handle. We know the Liberals of today are doing their best to imitate Labor and the Greens. Someone like Moira will spoil their Woke party.

For an example of this, we might recall Bernie Finn, the most consistent conservative MP the Victorian Liberals have had in recent years. He was booted out for holding a similar position to Moira. For daring to be pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, and concerned about the trans war on our children, Bernie Finn was unceremoniously given the flick. It seems to be a matter of time before this becomes Moira’s fate.

I happen to know Moira and I can assure you she is neither a hateful bigot nor a crazed axe-murderer. She is a fine young woman, wife, and mother who cares deeply about Victoria and the kind of community her children will have to grow up in.

We expect Labor and the moonbat-lefties to hate on someone like her, but it is especially despicable when the press come out with claws. Shame on the lot of them.

Three cheers for Moira.
