The context:
The British activist, who also goes by pseudonym Posie Parker, spoke at a “Let Women Speak” event outside Victorian parliament in March that was gatecrashed by neo-Nazis, who joined the anti-trans rights demonstrators and repeatedly performed the Nazi salute.
MP Moira Deeming’s involvement in the “Let Women Speak” rally led to her suspension and eventual expulsion from the Liberal party.

The Victorian Liberal party leadership has been served with defamation concern notices by anti-trans rights activist Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull following her appearance at a controversial Melbourne rally in March.
In the concerns notice, lawyers for Ms Keen-Minshull demanded John Pesutto’s senior team — including deputy David Southwick, upper house leader Georgie Crozier and MP Matt Bach — publicly apologise and pay compensation for claims made against her.

Ms Keen-Minshull has given Mr Pesutto and his team a 28-day deadline to apologise and pay compensation over “grossly misconceived, wilfully vexatious and wretchedly false” claims.
In the letter prepared by Ms Keen-Minshull’s lawyers, she asserts Mr Pesutto made defamatory claims linking her to far-right groups.
“It’s absolutely repulsive that somebody in a position like the leader of the opposition would spew such vile lies about somebody,” Ms Keen-Minshull told 3AW radio in the days following the rally.

The summary missed an important part that makes this ridiculous:
Seems she has time now. Perhaps her social calendar opened up?
