Daniel Andrews may be called to appear before a Senate inquiry to answer questions about his controversial Belt and Road deal with China.

with the announcement that it had signed the state up to the Communist Party’s $1.5 trillion program, which is widely viewed as a way for the regime to project power in foreign countries by investing in large-scale infrastructure projects.

Mr Andrews reacted angrily to the PM’s announcement, refusing to concede the Belt and Road Initiative was a national security threat and describing it as a “passport to export”.reported today that the Senate’s Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee has written to all premiers and chief ministers seeking submissions on the Foreign Relations Bill, with the committee’s chair, Liberal Senator Eric Abetz, saying it was hoped Mr Andrews would agree to appear before the inquiry.

“As far as the second part of your question, I just have to say, with the greatest of respect to the Senate and the chairman of that committee, my focus is elsewhere and I reckon Victorians would expect nothing different.”

That has been shit canned

Is there still a death penalty for treason?

justadavo Go easy Senate, this bloke can only try to manage 1 issue at a time (which has been managed terribly and lethally by the way!) Andrews will be annoyed that not everyone has forgotten about the China BRI and that the VIC state Labor party is under the admin of federal Labor!

“...must be...” Not “...may be...” The country needs to know exactly what terms were negotiated with the CCP.

Dr. Yan: the coronavirus was made in the lab, and being spread intentionally to the world by the Chinese Communist Party! Why we lost jobs, families and everything! Take down CCP now!

And he'll lie through his teeth. This guy couldn't tell the truth if he was injected with truth serum. It's like it's in his genetic makeup to lie whenever he can.

abouttime 👍🏽

He should appear in front of a judge to be sentenced

What about the East-West link and the “Red Shirts” scandal?

Australian politicians are NOT accountable for anything and can get away with murder. DictatorDan auspol

Who is going to answer questions on the sale of Darwin Ports ?

No

And offer up nothing more than 'this is not the time or place'

Is before of after the workplace manslaughter hearing?

So he should

I hope he does. Penny, Katie et al will expose exactly how badly the federal government has ducked and weaved and avoided responsiblity for Victorian deaths in privatised, federally mismanaged aged care homes which prioritised profit over people's care for many years.

May be. Trash article
