   QUOTE
   
   John Pesutto’s days as Liberal leader appear numbered after five shadow cabinet ministers forced a party room meeting on Friday to decide his fate.
   
   The opposition leader had made a last-ditch effort on Sunday to save his job by making a shock concession and agreeing to readmit exiled MP and defamation foe Moira Deeming to the party.
   
   However, his challengers say it’s too little, too late, with the push to oust him culminating with a letter – signed by key Pesutto ally James Newbury – calling a meeting on Friday where a spill will be pushed. The meeting later this week will include a vote over Deeming’s membership.

     Not yet. He proposed a Jan 15 meeting to readmit her, as well as introduce a code of conduct (sus) for the parliamentary wing of the party

     Oh wow, he readmitted her after he cast the deciding vote to kick her out?
