Andrews will definitely 'find a way to be too busy' to attend Belt and Road inquiry

Liberal Senator Jim Molan says Premier Daniel Andrews will “definitely find a way to be too busy” to show up for the federal committee’s inquiry into his decision to sign off on the Belt and Road deal.

Mr Andrews will be asked to front the Senate’s Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee to answer questions about his decision to sign on to China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

Mr Molan said “(for) so much of what the premier has done, he has refused to comment on, he has refused to answer questions, or he has just denied.”

“Eric (Senator Eric Abetz) will run an excellent inquiry, … Premier Andrews will definitely find a way to be too busy.”

Mr Molan said one of the premier’s major faults was taking on too much himself which had taken him away from looking to see the effects of his decisions.

“I reckon one of the major faults that he has had in the way he … has taken on far too much himself, which takes him away, being so busy, from the ability to look down at what’s going on,” Mr Molan told Sky News host Paul Murray.

“To say to himself, I wonder if the actual quarantine is working?

“I wonder if people are walking out the front door?

“This is management and leadership 101 that I don’t see down there.”
