The Victorian Liberals will hold another preselection convention to elect a candidate for a top spot on the party’s upper house ticket, after it was revealed the man who replaced Moira Deeming wrote a court character reference for a friend who was convicted of grooming a 15-year-old girl.
Dinesh Gourisetty, who defeated Deeming on Sunday in a preselection vote for the party’s candidates for the western metropolitan region at the upcoming November election, has told the executive he did not want to step down after the revelations.
