Moira Deeming misunderstood meaning of ‘headlock’ but won’t apologise to Matthew Guy for assault allegation

The Victorian Liberal MP says the interaction with her colleague left her fearful and confused

Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming says she misunderstood the “technical meaning of the term ‘headlock’”, but will not apologise to her colleague Matthew Guy over the allegation he assaulted her.

Last week, it was revealed Deeming had in June reported to police that Guy, the opposition’s public transport spokesperson, had assaulted her at a Macedonian community event in Sunshine, Melbourne in May.
