Victorian Premier Issues Statement 2 September

VIC Premier

I am unharmed and undeterred following this morning's events at a press conference.

It comes as no surprise that Nazis oppose me and my Government.

I wear that with a badge of honour.

But this isn't about me. It's about all the other people in the community who Nazis target - like multicultural people, LGBTIQA+ people, First Peoples, and Jews.

They're the Victorians who are on my mind right now, and they're the Victorians who our anti-hate laws will protect when they come into force later this month.

There is no place for hate in our state. Whoever you are, whoever you love, whoever you pray to - I'll always fight for your right to belong.

As Premier, I'll always be out and about in public fighting for you, like I am all day today. I am not afraid.

We know how these goons operate. They whip up fear to divide our society. They will fail.

Because Victorians are fair, and our values are strong.
