Former Victorian opposition leader John Pesutto served bankruptcy notice
John Pesutto has accepted a bankruptcy notice served to him yesterday, as the consequences of Liberal colleague Moira Deeming's successful defamation action against him continue to play out. One source close to the proceedings confirmed that the official notice had been served. Deeming successfully took Pesutto to Federal Court, which last December ruled he defamed her five times after an anti-transgender rights rally she organised in March 2023. That rally was unexpectedly gatecrashed by Neo-Nazis, and the court agreed with Deeming that in the aftermath, Pesutto defamed her as a Nazi sympathiser. Last month, a court ordered Pesutto to pay Deeming $2.3 million in legal costs by Friday, May 30, a deadline which he missed. Loading Only about one third of the money has been raised, including $212,000 via crowdfunding - and about $4000 of that in the past week. Under Australian bankruptcy law, Pesutto now has 20 days to either pay the $2.3 million in full or come to an arrangement where he can pay in instalments. Deeming's lawyers have previously said they plan to pursue third parties for costs if Pesutto is left bankrupt — including former premiers Jeff Kennett, Denis Napthine and Ted Baillieu and serving MPs Georgie Crozier and David Southwick.

Boston Mayor blasted for comparing ICE agents to Neo-Nazis
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has been slammed after her 'sickening' comparison of ICE agents to Neo-Nazis. While speaking to ABC 5, Wu claimed she does not 'know of any police department that routinely wears masks.' The mayor then criticised Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents for wearing masks during arrests. Wu then compared ICE agents to New England-based neo-Nazi group 'NSC-131' because they 'routinely wear masks'. The Department of Homeland Security quickly shut down the mayor's comments in a post to X. 'Mayor Wu comparing ICE agents to neo-Nazis is sickening,' they wrote.
