‘Stop list’: Russia sanctions ex-Victorian premier Daniel Andrews, 234 Australian state MPs

Former Victorian premier Daniel Andrews is among more than 200 names on the latest list of Australians who have been banned from entering Russia.

Andrews is one of the most high-profile of the 235 current and former Victorian and South Australian MPs across the political divide who have made Moscow’s list over Australia’s “anti-Russian agenda”.Other Victorians barred indefinitely range from Deputy Premier Ben Carroll, Treasurer Tim Pallas and Opposition Leader John Pesutto, to Labor MP Paul Mercurio, independent Moira Deeming and former Labor deputy premier James Merlino.

Among the South Australians are Deputy Premier Susan Close, Treasurer Stephen Mullighan, Energy Minister Tom Koutsantonis, Health Minister Chris Picton and Opposition Leader David Speirs.Australians were handed indefinite bans “in response to politically motivated sanctions against Russian individuals and legal entities by the Australian government”.

“Taking into account the fact that official Canberra does not intend to abandon its anti-Russian course and continues to introduce new sanctions measures, work on updating the Russian ‘stop list’ will continue,” the ministry said on its website.
