On 27 March 2023, she was suspended from the parliamentary Liberal Party for nine months. A week earlier, it had been announced by the leader of the opposition, John Pesutto, that he would move to have her expelled from the parliamentary Liberal Party after she spoke at an anti-trans rally outside the Victorian Parliament. The rally was attended by neo-Nazi groups who repeatedly performed Nazi salutes from the steps of Parliament. She was expelled from the parliamentary party room on 12 May 2023.
