Campbell Newman slams GoFundMe for John Pesutto after $2.3m legal bill
Former Queensland Liberal premier Campbell Newman reacts to a GoFundMe fundraiser being set up for John Pesutto after he was ordered to pay $2.3 million in legal costs stemming from the Moira Deeming defamation case.
“Pesutto went off on this crazy mad project, should we call it, and he was dead wrong,” Mr Newman told Sky News host Steve Price.
“At multiple stages during the process, he could’ve just apologised and certainly … he would be no worse off for where he is today.
“The Liberal Party shouldn’t be bailing him out … he’s made the bed, he’s got to lie in it.”
