Matthew Guy demands Moira Deeming apologise for assault claim after Victoria police find ‘no offence detected’

Victorian Liberal MP Matthew Guy demanded an apology from his colleague Moira Deeming on Friday, June 26, 2026, following the closure of a police investigation into an alleged assault. Victoria Police announced that their inquiry found "no offence detected" in relation to the accusation. Guy, speaking to reporters outside state parliament, stated there was "no ambiguity" and that he did not commit the act alleged by Deeming. He also called for apologies from Premier Jacinta Allan and Attorney General Sonya Kilkenny. The allegation had led to significant political attention within the Victorian Liberal Party. The police investigation concluded without any charges or findings of wrongdoing against Guy. Deeming had previously made the accusation, which Guy has consistently denied. The resolution of the police investigation now places pressure on Deeming and other political figures to acknowledge the outcome.
