AFL Controversy: “It has nothing to do with ethnic background of security officers”

Tensions over crowd control at AFL games have escalated with a former premier linking the capacity of security officers to their ethnic background. Jeff Kennett says they have little understanding of the game - but he's come under fire for raising the issue of race. Melbourne based Security Company owner Lovemeet Aneja says, “Security officers work as per the directions and briefs of the venue or event organiser.”
