Deeming stood as a candidate for the Watts Ward at the 2020 Melton City Council election on 24 October, receiving 21.49% of the primary vote and successfully securing the second allocation. Following the 2022 Australian federal election, it was reported in The Age that on 26 March the Victorian Liberal Party’s administrative committee voted for Deeming to run in the lower house seat of Gorton.
Before she was able to be endorsed, a top party official relayed the view of Scott Morrison’s Office that “negative media coverage of Deeming’s hardline social views could distract” from Morrison’s campaign. Reportedly, another vote was held and a different candidate was picked. On 23 July, Deeming was endorsed by the Liberal Party to contest the upper house Western Metropolitan Region seat in the Victorian Legislative Council to replace Bernie Finn at the Victorian state election.
Deeming’s preselection was considered controversial because she replaced the similarly right-wing Bernie Finn at the top of the Liberal ticket, following Finn’s expulsion from the Liberal Party after making “inflammatory social media posts”. Finn, who contested the election as a Democratic Labour Party candidate, was reported to be “delighted” at Deeming’s preselection. Andrew Elsbury, a moderate Liberal Party member who held the seat from 2010–2014 quit the party in response to her preselection, describing it as the “final straw”. Deeming was successfully elected to the Legislative Council.
In Deeming’s maiden speech before parliament, she criticized critical social justice in school curriculums and the “decriminalization of sex work”. On 18 March 2023, Deeming spoke at the anti-trans ‘Let Women Speak’ rally in Melbourne which was independently attended by the neo-Nazi group National Socialist Network and its leader Thomas Sewell as well as Nathan Bull, a neo-Nazi son of a police officer. The neo-Nazis repeatedly engaged in Nazi salutes and carried far-right extremist banners, directed at a counter-protest of the Let Women Speak rally, which had been organized by LGBT activists.
In a public statement describing Deeming’s position as “untenable” due to her “involvement in organizing, promoting and participating in a rally with speakers and other organizers who themselves have been publicly associated with far right-wing extremist groups including neo-Nazi activists” Liberal opposition leader, John Pesutto moved to expel her from the party. An attempt was made by fellow MPs Brad Battin and Richard Riordan to delay the expulsion a week, but the move failed, losing the vote 18 to 11. It was believed that Deeming was also supported by Chris Crewther, Matthew Guy, Bill Tilley, David Hodgett, and Ann-Marie Hermans.
Liberal MPs reportedly pressured Pesutto to find a less severe punishment for her role in the rally due to the in-fighting the rally has caused in the party. In the end, a compromise was made with Deeming accepting a nine-month suspension from the party instead of expulsion from the party. The compromise came after Deeming issued a private statement in the party room, condemning Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull’s previous use of a Barbie wearing a Nazi uniform on her social media as a “poor distasteful joke”.
During her suspension from the party, Deeming threatened party leader Pesutto with legal action but backed away after a bid to oust the party was a fresh attempt was made to oust her from the party. This second effort, led by former party leader Matthew Guy, saw Deeming back away from her threat of legal action.
