Dan Andrews breaks his silence about what happened inside his holiday house moments before he fell and broke his back
Victorian premier Daniel Andrews first press conference since he broke his back revealed more details about the fall.
Mr Andrews was on a family weekend at a rented Sorrento property when he slipped and fell on stairs, breaking his back.
‘My stock answer to those things is normally no, because you can’t go back in time,’ he told journalists during a press conference about the Metro Tunnel.
‘You can’t go back and do things differently. I’m not gonna apologise to you or anybody else for following medical advice and getting fit and well.’
Mr Andrews responded to the conspiracy theories that arose from his three months off work as a result of the injury.
‘I don’t know that you can put an end to some of these vile stories,’ he said.
‘People who make up their own facts, you’re best not really to get into an argument with them. It’s very difficult to win those arguments.
‘Never get into an argument with a fool. That never works. And don’t get into a debate with people who make up their own facts – that doesn’t work either.’
