Australian Liberal politician Moira Deeming was chosen for party election list in Melbourne. This happened days after her rejection. The decision caused major unrest within the Liberal Party.

Deeming is known for critical statements about transgender rights. This caused conflicts with party colleagues earlier. She now received delegate support for Senate pre-selection. Her opponents tried removing her from the list unsuccessfully.

The change happened quickly. Days earlier her position seemed hopeless. She has now secured her election campaign spot. This shows tensions within the Liberal Party on controversial positions.

Deeming supporters say she may speak freely about her concerns. Opponents believe her statements harm transgender people. The issue shows deep divisions in Australian liberal movement.

Victoria elections are planned for next year. Deeming will attract attention as candidate with her positions.
