“It’s fantastic that Spencer and I had the opportunity to meet face to face last night,” Mam shared with the Herald.
“Regarding the racial vilification matter, that’s behind us now. We’ve moved on.
“There was a report suggesting I felt I was being booed at Brookvale due to this incident, but that’s not accurate. I understand the context and reasoning behind it, and I’ll keep striving to be a better person and make the right decisions.”
