148 At 9.14pm, Mr Matthew Guy MP, Liberal Member for Bulleen in the Legislative Assembly, sent a text message to Mr Pesutto and Mr Southwick (Ex R192; CC:279) volunteering to move an expulsion motion against Mrs Deeming: "Just letting you know that if you want an expulsion motion moved on Deeming, and no one else will do it, I will".

In the course of that discussion, Mr Southwick told Mr Pesutto he had spoken to Mrs Deeming about the LWS rally, and had told her that she needed to immediately distance herself from it and the neo-Nazis who attended (CB:30, 337[54]–[55]).
