Backbencher Beverley McArthur, a conservative factional ally of Ms Deeming, was one of the only Liberal MPs willing to publicly say she would vote against the motion.Rowville MP Kim Wells said the looming defamation action would make Ms Deeming's expulsion more difficult and said the future of Mr Pesutto's leadership was an internal matter.
