The Premier, Lara Giddings, today expressed confidence in the Deputy Premier, Bryan Green.

Ms Giddings said the incident at the AFL Grand Final was regrettable but she was satisfied with Mr Green’s version of events, which had been corroborated by a number of third parties.

“It is regrettable that a fantastic game of football has been marred by this matter,” Ms Giddings said.

“I did not witness the incident in question, however, I have spoken to Bryan and a number of witnesses to the events that led to Cr Goninion leaving the ground.

“I am satisfied by their version of events and I do not believe there is any further action required.”
