Glenn Milne

Milne was involved in a scuffle onstage with Crikey founder Stephen Mayne at the 2006 Walkley Awards, where an intoxicated Milne verbally abused Mayne and pushed him off a stage, before being restrained and removed by security staff. Milne later released a statement apologising for his actions, and claimed that his behaviour was caused by a combination of alcohol and migraine medication. In August 2011 The Australian removed a story by Milne from its website that falsely claimed that then-Prime Minister Julia Gillard was unknowingly implicated in a "major union fraud" during her time as a lawyer, and failed to contact her at any point or provide Gillard her right of reply. ==References==
