The premier’s comment, as reported, was that the matter was “with Victoria Police” and it would be inappropriate to comment further while the investigation was underway. That lines up with the broader reporting that the investigation has now been closed with “no offence detected,” but the premier’s quoted remark itself was essentially a no-comment position.

What was said

  • The reported premier response was a brief deferral to police, not a substantive view on the allegation.
  • In the same coverage, the opposition leader said she was glad the police review was resolved quickly and that no offence was found.

Context

  • The underlying dispute involves Moira Deeming’s allegation that Matthew Guy assaulted her at a community event, which Guy denies.
  • Police later said they had completed the investigation and detected no offence.

Bottom line

So, in plain terms: the premier did not publicly weigh in on the merits of the claim; they referred it to police and avoided further comment.
