Afternoon Update: Pesutto pays Deeming debt; Trump officials cite ‘new intelligence' on Iran strikes; and what it's like snapping Oasis
Good afternoon. The former Victorian Liberal leader John Pesutto has paid $2.3m in legal costs owed to his colleague Moira Deeming, meaning he will avoid bankruptcy and be able to remain in state parliament as the member for Hawthorn. Last month, the federal court ordered the payment after it found in December that Pesutto repeatedly defamed the upper house MP by falsely implying she sympathised with neo-Nazis and white supremacists. According to a source, two separate payments were made to Deeming on Thursday morning: one by the Liberal party's investment vehicle, Vapold, and another by Pesutto personally.
