Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is China's “useful idiot” as he visits China for the seventh time, says Sky News host Chris Kenny.

'I'm not here to be a commentator on the China-Australia relationship... 'There'll be other trips this year to lots of different parts of the world, potentially. But you'll be appropriately invited to those.' 'This is not the first trip that I've made to China and it won't be the last,' he told reporters on Sunday. The Belt and Road broadly aims to foster infrastructure projects around the region, and in Victoria's case 'increase the participation of Chinese infrastructure companies in Victoria's infrastructure construction program'. Chinese President Xi Jinping is not expected to be on the itinerary for Mr Andrews' visit The Victorian Premier will attend a number of meetings with senior Chinese officials to discuss trade, education and cultural matters Mr Tabakoff referred to the famous snap of Dan Andrews talking on his mobile phone while standing in Tiananmen Square on a trip to Beijing in 2015. 'I'm concerned that the only reports we'll get out of it will be by state-run media in China and I'd really like to know the purpose of this visit,' Mr Tehan told Sky News on Monday. 'It seems to be a case of Chairman Dan adopting the Chinese government culture of explaining as little as possible to the public.' Laura Jayes, host of the AM Agenda on Sky News Australia, blasted Mr Andrews' decision not to allow reporters on his four-day China trip Laura Jayes, host of the AM Agenda on Sky News Australia, suggested the scant itinerary was 'doing its best to pretend that this trip is boring and insignificant'.

“Governments need to be transparent and accountable for what they spend, the policies they offer, the meetings they have, the relationships they are forging. The Victorian Premier released a bare-bones summary of his first day on Tuesday. “These will be some of the strongest laws in the country. Governments across Australia pay lip service to press freedom and the public’s right to know,” Percy said. “You can’t imagine a modern Victoria without the Chinese influence. He also called on Coalition MPs to strike a “sensible balance” between climate action and addressing the cost of living crisis. “This is about manufacturing. Unlike some of the major financial firms it works with, McKinsey rarely carries out job cuts in its own ranks. He was a barrister before joining the NSW Supreme Court in 2005. A spokesperson declined to comment. And it will be open to all landholders.” Justices Debra Mortimer, David Thomas and Elizabeth Raper affirmed the National Employment Standards (NES), which override contracts, awards or enterprise agreements, mandate that employers make reasonable requests to work public holidays.

Of course it would be better for Andrews to take some media. But would they do a good job, or would it be all 'Chairman Dan' and local political bullshit?

Rather, she is pursuing “managed strategic competition” between the superpowers, and greater agency for the middle powers of the region, including Australia. First, getting visas is increasingly complicated and not to be taken for granted. That is no longer the case. The main person any travelling journalists would get to see would be Andrews. And despite some weird, innuendo-laden articles in the Victorian media, nobody respectable has suggested that Andrews shouldn’t go. And, once in China, access to the local officials is negligible.
