Controversies
[edit]Milne was involved in a scuffle onstage with Crikey founder Stephen Mayne at the 2006 Walkley Awards. Milne pushed Mayne off the stage and verbally abused him, before being restrained and removed by security staff.[4] Milne later released a statement apologising for his actions, and claimed that his behaviour was caused by a combination of alcohol and migraine medication.[5] In August 2011 The Australian removed a story by Milne from its website that made incorrect assertions about Prime Minister Julia Gillard.[6]
