00:00I'd firstly like to apologise for what has occurred over the past 24 hours.
00:05I made a terrible mistake and I take full responsibility for my actions.
00:10My actions are my own and by no way reflect the values of my family,
00:15my teammates, my friends, my sport and the Australian Olympic team.
00:21I've embarrassed you all and I'm truly sorry.
00:24I am glad that the matter has been resolved and that Tom has been released.
00:29He received a warning, no charges and no conviction.
00:34I cannot condone what Tom has done.
00:37He is a good person who made a bad decision,
00:40but there are consequences that come with decisions like this.
00:44He has apologised, shown remorse and he has owned up to his mistake
00:50and we will support him if he needs help.
00:54As a result, Tom will lose all of his remaining Olympic privileges.
01:00He has already moved out of the Olympic Village
01:03and it was my understanding he was not attending the closing ceremony.
01:07If he was, he would not be able to attend.
