Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming will remain out of the country and miss a week of parliament due to an unforeseen medical situation, just days after telling the party she would cut short a trip in which she intended to attend a Jordan Peterson conference.
After Deeming was absent from question time in the upper house on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the opposition leader, Brad Battin, confirmed she remained overseas and was unable to travel home.
