Folk musician and former Olympian Paul Greene is reported to have been issued an apprehended violence order (AVO) following alleged threats made toward his ex-partner. The order is intended to protect the woman and her current partner.
The three outlets report the same central allegation and outcome, including the quote attributed to Greene: “I want to set them on fire.” While the coverage focuses on the threat and the protective purpose of the AVO, they do not provide substantially different details in the shared excerpts about the broader circumstances, timing, or evidence.
Across the reports, the emphasis is on the legal action—an AVO—and the relationship context that prompted it. The Brisbane Times, The Age, and the Sydney Morning Herald all frame the matter as involving alleged conduct toward an ex-partner that triggers court-ordered protections for those at risk.
