Sydney, AUSTRALIA - In last week's Walkley Awards for Journalism, columnist Glen Milne infamously went the biff on Crikey.com.au's Stephan Mayne. Finally speaking this week, Milne said that he could "offer no excuses for [his] behaviour", but that he blamed the incident on "an unfortunate mixture of migraine pills with alcohol". He told The New Juice: "I've made it a policy not to respond to his provocations. These provocations include continually insulting my wife and putting a link to a website suggesting that I stalk women. I categorically deny this - it is all rubbish."
He also took the opportunity to apologise: "I apologise to Stephen and his family, to News Limited and to the public. There is no excuse or justification for my behaviour, and I absolutely regret it. On another note, I've had literally thousands of supportive emails and text messages. But what I did is wrong."
