  "summary": "Moira Deeming, a former Liberal MP, will run for the Family First Party in the November state election. She was dumped by the Liberal Party in July after refusing to apologise to colleague Matthew Guy, whom she accused of assault. According to Victoria Police, no offence was detected after reviewing CCTV footage.\n\nDeeming, now a crossbench MP in the upper house, has joined Family First and will contest the Western Metropolitan Region. She made the announcement alongside Family First national director Lyle Shelton. Deeming said she has no regrets over her actions, and that she had been approached by numerous political parties to contest with.\n\nThe state election is set to take place on November 28. Deeming's move to Family First comes after she left the Liberal party room following her removal as a candidate. Lyle Shelton praised Deeming's \"resilience and tenacity\", saying they made her the right candidate for the party.",
