Ms Deves apologised for the "language" she used but has received the backing of Prime Minister Scott Morrison. "I do not believe she's fit for office. I do not believe that she is aligned with the values of the Liberal Party," he said. "We live in a cosmopolitan, multicultural society where people are free to be themselves and that's a fundamental tenant of liberalism.

Why does NSW have a Greens’ Treasurer?

Morrison confirming he agrees with Deves on her anti trans stance! How you feeling about that Australia?

Lets have a plebiscite on the issue. That will bring into focus if there is a divergence of opinion between the electorate and the ABC opinion breakroom

He should keep his mouth shut instead of this madness that is NSW factional politics. Stripping away the somewhat over enthusiastic language she used (years ago) she has got the core substance absolutely right. Blokes in dresses should NOT complete against biological women.

She is the epitome of a real Liberal - the NSW Treasurer is actualy the odd one out !

PatsKarvelas So that’s a state Liberal MP. Which federal MPs, apart from Trent Zimmerman, have said publicly that she should be disendorsed?

lesleyanne12 Matt Kean has the courage of his convictions, and the balls to go with it. He is everything Morrison can never be.

Someone tells this guy we will not be voting for him next year. There’s no harmony between the state & federal govts and as if it hasn’t done enough damage before the election, he has to tear the party apart. Stuff him. If liberal lost to labor in nsw, so be it.

Matt Keans values (cheating on partner with a work colleague) don’t match up to community standards either

Deves has deleted the tweets anyway. In saying that it's obvious that most women believe Deves supports them especially sports women and girls, not sure why Kean would have a problem with a conservative female politician supporting biological females before trans, go figure. 🤔

Garbage . Deves represents the views of the majority. Save our girls .

It absolutely will not happen, but it's delicious watching the Liberals tearing into each other. My only concern is that words are not enough. Let's give them whacking sticks!

Matt Kean is a limousine liberal ,he is in this to bring down the liberal party and doesnt care that everyone knows .He is a green .

A bit of a pile on here from her own party

This post was also pre approved by Scott Morrisons media team.

You can identify as a Llama for all I care. As long as you follow the rules the 99% follow. Certain age boys don’t play with girls, that is about puberty. For all types of reasons. If you change how you identify- good on you but you should not confuse fair play with your gender.

Has he seen Scomo?

Another Issue, why is Josh Fraudenberg so afraid to publicly debate JimChalmers? If the economy is so important and Josh is so good at his job (according to Josh & Rupert), What is Josh so afraid of? Australia needs a Televised Treasurers debate please. ausvotes

PatsKarvelas Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison have more in common than people imagined. Both share the right wing Bannonist/Putin 'World Congress of Families' agenda that vilifies LGBTQA+ folk often women in general. It promoted the 'handmaiden' model for women.

'Moderate Liberals' are Greener than Labor!

What an interesting article. What threatens the election of what you describe as 'moderate' MPs is not Deves - but their own anti-women progressive extremism. If ScoMo gives into this pressure then these people will not be elected. Why should any conservative vote for them?

Stringy32 Let lnp keep her … she’s ananchor around the neck of the whole party

Can someone remind Kean that his Premier was one of three choosing these candidates? If he's so disgusted by Deves as a candidate, which we all should be, he should resign his position from the NSW Parliament or instigate a change of Premier.

Bloody fence sitting moderates! Not concerned about the comments as he is his re election chances! LOL Mr Kean said he was 'very concerned' Katherine Deves's continued candidacy threatened the re-election of moderate Liberal MPs at next month's federal election.

PatsKarvelas This woman compares to Hitler writing ‘ist Mein Kamp.”

Readers simply go google ‘Matt Kean sex scandal’. See the classy behaviour he exhibited not too long ago. How on earth has he the nerve to still be around? How does someone come back from this?

A true and real democracy is when citizens vote yes or no on their computers to the important issues.

Scomo hand-picked 13 more agents who will obey his command He plans a Trump heartland in Aus to further long term extreme right wing ideology at expense of urban MPs Unaware conned Josh Tim Sharma etc are ditched, but too scared to fight Scomo. But electorate is cooking them

PatsKarvelas ✅

We have a national housing crisis. People are being evicted so that rents can be increased by 15%. Young people are being priced out of owning a home. And all we're hearing from the media is what some LNP nut job said about trans people. Trans community is 0.03% of the population

Would almost think this guy is the premier.
