The attorney general, Mark Dreyfus, has accused the Coalition’s federal leadership of failing to condemn neo-Nazis who attended an anti-trans rally amid fiery scenes in federal parliament on Tuesday.

The opposition leader, Peter Dutton, did not weigh in on the fate of Victorian Liberal MP Moira Deeming, whose proposed expulsion has become a test for the authority of the Victorian Liberal leader, John Pesutto. Deeming has denied any wrongdoing.
