Victoria’s Liberal leader has admitted sharing settlement information with former premier Jeff Kennett to prove he was being “reasonable” ahead of a defamation trial.

John Pesutto faced a second day of questioning in the witness stand at the Federal Court in Melbourne on Wednesday, as exiled MP Moira Deeming’s defamation trial against her former leader continues.
