Prime Min­is­ter Stu­art Young has re­spond­ed to a bul­ly­ing in­ci­dent which oc­curred when he was a stu­dent at St Mary’s Col­lege 33 years ago.

Young has said in a state­ment that it is “deeply un­for­tu­nate” that the in­ci­dent oc­curred when he was a teenag­er but said he has “no in­ten­tion of min­i­miz­ing any­one’s feel­ings.”

He said in the state­ment that he is ful­ly com­mit­ted, as Prime Min­is­ter, to ad­dress­ing is­sues of bul­ly­ing in schools.
