Andrews’ secret deal part of China’s strategy to operate ‘without federal oversight’

Former defence head of China analysis Paul Monk says Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews’ secret deal with China was part of the Chinese government's strategy to operate in Australia “without federal oversight”.

On Monday, the Victorian parliament forced the Andrews government to release the document detailing promises made with China, which had been kept secret for four years.

“What concerns me in the first instance is the secrecy,” Mr Monk told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.

“What concerns me in the second instance is that the deal is with a strategic player on an altogether different scale to Victoria, and Daniel Andrews appears to have walked into water over his head.”
