Andrew Thorburn resigned as Essendon’s chief executive just a day after taking on the role due to his links to a church which has controversial views on abortion and homosexuality.

In responding to Mr Guy’s comments on Wednesday, the Premier said he was simply asked a question on the matter.— Essendon FC
