National Press Club Refers Incident to Authorities
On Wednesday afternoon, the National Press Club issued a statement confirming that it had referred the matter to the police. This decision followed an internal review which concluded that no club staff members were involved in the protest stunt.
GetUp stated, "we thought the occasion deserved some honesty," in claiming responsibility for the banner.
The nature of the banner's message and the specifics of the protest are now subject to the AFP's inquiry.
