It’s not just trans people who suffer when far-right politicians are elected. Just ask renters in Melbourne.
The far-right anti-trans MP Moira Deeming just stood up to the supposed “woke elites” (note sarcasm) by voting to block an inquiry into why rents are so high in Victoria.
From The Age:
"Exiled Liberal MP Moira Deeming has landed a blow against her former parliamentary colleagues from the crossbench, siding with the Andrews government to block a parliamentary inquiry that was set to scrutinise Victoria’s rental crisis.
"The inquiry would have examined the factors driving high rents in Victoria, the options available to increase the supply and standard of long-term rentals and hand down key recommendations by the end of the year.
“The final vote on the joint Greens and Coalition motion was 19 votes to 19, meaning it failed because a clear majority was not reached. Animal Justice MP Georgie Purcell and the two Legalise Cannabis MPs voted for the failed inquiry.”
For people who don’t follow Victorian state politics, Deeming was exiled from the Liberal Party after attending an anti-trans rally with Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull (AKA Posie Parker) and a bunch of literal neo-Nazis: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/mar/20/victorian-opposition-leader-moves-to-expel-mp-involved-in-anti-trans-protest-attended-by-neo-nazis
