Enemy within

[Outlaw Yogi]

Who am I on about? ... Victoria's Chairman Dan (Andrews) and his booty counter Tim Pallas.
Why? ... Signing up to China's 'Belt and Road Initiative' [debt trap diplomacy](BRI)

Piss fart African nation Djibouti signed up for $1.1bn.
They couldn't service the debt so handed a port over to China.
Within 1 year Chinese troops were conducting live firing training in Djibouti.

Andrews and Pallas have signed up for $24.5bn.

So do we seal the Victorian borders from the rest of Australia (post COVID border closures)?, cancel their citizenship and deport them to China?, or hang them from a clock tower?

All of the above. As far as I am aware states aren't allowed to dictate foreign policy. Andrews needs to be deposed and consequences brought against him.

I would like to see ScoMo act and override anything Andrews has signed with China and relieve him of office.

Albanese is showing gumption and speaking out against Andrews. Shorten, on the other hand, would have had his hand out cheering for China.

This needs to be dealt with and not ignored or brushed under the carpet and any agreement Andrews has made with China needs to be revoked. Right now!

The Victorian government looks set to pursue the next step of its controversial Belt and Road deal with the Chinese government, despite widespread criticism of the deal.

Premier Daniel Andrews indicated on Wednesday that the timetable for agreeing to the next step of the deal, a "co-operation road map" between the state and the communist country, had been pushed back by the COVID-19 pandemic but that "further announcements" were on the way.

The Age revealed on Wednesday that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade was not consulted on the latest phase of the agreement, signed in October, until the day it was publicly announced.

Now apparently we have that traitor Dan Andrews telling workers to dob in their employers if they are told to go into work.

This tin pot Pol Pot needs putting in his place. That place is NOT Premier.

I want to know what ScoMo is going to do and when he is going to act because Andrews has threatened Australia's national security and that needs addressing and it needs addressing NOW!

[billy the kid]

Adolf Andrews is a dictator and a traitor...

[Black Orchid]

I'll never understand how he got voted in the last time.

what can he do? does anyone know??>..

can he sack a Premier????...

I have never heard of a State borrowing anything like this... I always thought it was the Feds that did the big stuff.

States are NOT allowed to define or enact foreign policy so ScoMo has to do something.

but what????

He (Morrison & Co) can skitch the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) onto them, and veto all the projects (infrastructure) Andrews supposedly intends build with China's money.
Pre-empting counter argument - Brian don't tell me they (Fed govt & FIRB) "can't do it" ... they already knocked a Chinese take over of NSW power lines on the head, and proscribed Huawei a national security threat.

can he sack a Premier????...

Probably not , but I suspect the Fed govt can sack an entire state govt just like a state govt can sack a municipal or shire council.
It (suspending a state parliament) would force a new state election.

It was Whitlam in Fed govt who started all this Aust govts borrowing from foreigners.
Frazer had the Lib controlled senate 'block supply' so the Fed govt couldn't pay its bills/bureaucracy .
So Whitlam was secretly intending to borrow from Arabs, and that led to the scandal we know as 'The dismissal".

One option Morrison & Co could use is to withhold Vic's GST largesse.
