Daniel Andrews in China

Daniel Andrews’ Photo-Op with Dictators Reveals Labor’s Lust for Power

10 September 2025

Former Victorian Labor Premier Daniel Andrews is living proof that the land Down Under is upside-down because of the lust for power.

Andrews can do photo-ops with murderous dictators, and yet the average Aussie who questions mass immigration or multiculturalism is instantly branded a rabid racist.

Likewise, leftists can hypocritically hate on about an indigenous Australian Senator wearing the Australian Flag.

Yet, most have no issue with a leftwing leader going to Beijing to cheerlead for the CCP.

Now that same group is yelling at the same Indigenous Senator for correctly pointing out that Labor is stacking the vote with no integration, mass immigration from India.

Yet, few, if any of her haters, seem to have a problem with Labor or The Greens exploiting those immigrants to serve their party’s own self-interests.

According to the Indian-centric Australian magazine India Link, the majority of natural-born Indians imported into Australia are conditioned to vote for Labor. Redbridge’s Kosmos Samaras puts the number at 85%.

Comrades

As John Roskam from the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) recently indicated, the Australian Labor Party’s presence via proxy at the Chinese Communist victory parade was undeniably self-serving.

“It wasn’t Mao Zedong and the People’s Liberation Army who defeated the Japanese; it was Chiang Kai-shek and the Kuomintang and the Americans.”

“Andrews, if he was there solely for World War II celebrations, should’ve gone to Taiwan,” Roskam added.

“Just as for the population of Eastern Europe, the ‘liberation’ of the Chinese people didn’t last long.

“In 1949, the Chinese Communist Party seized power and created a one-party state that continues to this day.

“It’s estimated,” he said, “that there are currently about 2 million political prisoners in China.”

Andrews, Roskam concluded, was in Beijing for one reason: he is one of “the most senior ALP political figures in Australia”.

I’d also add he’s one of the most powerful and influential.

As the IPA piece implied, the Chinese Communists have all the intel.

Albo and Andrews are not just close friends, they’re comrades in arms.

It’s an affiliation Albo is more than happy to brag about, regardless of Dan’s reptilian-esque reputation for ruthlessness.

Xi and his comrades would know of Andrews’s close relationship with Albanese.

That means leverage.

This potentially puts the CCP dangerously close to the Prime Minister’s office, if not directly in it.

Australians are right to be alarmed.

As Roskam argues, Andrews wasn’t in Beijing to “pose for photos alongside Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian as a private citizen.”

Inviting the former Victorian Labor Premier to the parade is the CCP taking “the exercise of soft power [over Australia] to the next level.”

In other words, Andrews, not Albo, is the Australian Labor Party, and going to Beijing was part of a political strategy.

Disconcerting

The IPA was right to point out Albanese’s apparent disinterest in Dan taking photos with dictators.

Albo doesn’t seem at all bothered by Andrews undermining his decisions by putting Labor’s face to photos with Iranian officials.

This happened just days after Albanese booted the Iranian ambassador over the Islamic state sponsoring terrorism on Australian soil.

While Albo is out exploiting Indians by smearing Australia First protesters as “Nazis”, Andrews is goosestepping in tune with the real totalitarians.

Now Victorian Labor leader Jacinta Allan is making a pre-election pilgrimage to China for a five-day visit with the CCP for “trade talks”.

This all raises a ton of uncomfortable questions: who’s actually running the country: Albanese or Andrews?

Is the CCP’s hold over Labor why Albanese hasn’t met with the United States President? One of Australia’s closest and long-serving allies.

Will Labor, at the behest of its apparent CCP bosses, drag Australia away from its kinship with the United States, into the BRICS totalitarian economic bloc?

All of the optics strongly suggest that Beijing’s golden boys are sellouts from Labor Party strongholds.

As I’ve inferred, the Australian Labor Party seems to serve its own self-interests, not the interests of the Australian people.

None of this bodes well for the future of Australia.

Thanks to Labor’s lust for power, Australians are not just staring down the barrel of Hindu nationalist expansionism.

Without a strong opposition and a firm political alternative, we’re well on the way to becoming a Chinese Communist vassal state.

    Please Father have mercy on Australia. Help us collectively cry out to You in repentance and longing for Your deliverance. We pray Psalm 2 over our nation and government. In the powerful precious redeeming Name of Jesus. Amen

    Many Australians seem to have Stockholm Syndrome, where we have grown accustomed to our kidnappers treatment and would barely care that they went to China and met with Iranian and NK leaders. Albo is definitely messing the country up with his mass importation of 3rd world people, just to keep himself in power. He belongs in the Chi-Comm photo as well, but realised the damage to his brand if he was there. Unless America can “invade” us and throw most of our politicians in jail, there isn’t likely to be any reprieve for the country, we are cooked.
