Assault claims rock Victorian Liberals ahead of election
Former Victorian opposition leader Matthew Guy faces police investigation over allegations he assaulted Liberal MP Moira Deeming at a function centre last month. CCTV footage shows Guy placing his arm around Deeming's neck, with the MP claiming he held her in a vice-like grip. Current opposition leader Jess Wilson cancelled a planned media conference and referred the matter to Victoria Police, while the government questioned whether the alleged offender should remain in the Liberal party room.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
