Dan Andrew's China deal reinforces the need for a Malaysia style Operation Judas: Australia has a legion of Chin Peng's and they can command the obedience of leaders in government, the legal system, and business

Victorian premier Daniel AndrewsTim Blair Blog Posts                                                                                 While Daniel Andrews pretends to hear nothing, other Australian leaders                                                            seem genuinely deaf and blind to China's infiltration

 Australians are slowly learning that the Government of Victoria, one of their largest and most prosperous states, are about to take that state into a comprehensive Belt&Road debt plan: 

Victoria is locked in critical final-stage negotiations with Beijing over investments worth billions of dollars at the same time as its Treasurer has savaged the Morrison government’s “vilification” of China over trade and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tim Pallas’s pro-China intervention comes as the deadline for Victoria to sign an “investment road map”, which ties the state to the communist giant with extraordinarily cosy language, is just weeks away.

Under Victoria’s decision to sign-up to China’s Belt and Road Initiative — in defiance of federal government security advice — key investment details are meant to be signed by the middle of 2020 following completion of a draft road map in March.


The looming deadline emerged as the Andrews government dodged parliamentary questions on Wednesday about whether any of the state’s $24bn coronavirus rescue package would be borrowed from China.

The “framework agreement” underpinning the Victoria-China deal was signed by Premier Daniel Andrews and Vice-Chairman Ning Jizhe of the National Development and Reform Commission of the People’s Republic of China on October 23 last year.

The document raises the possibility that Mr Pallas’s unprecedented backing of Beijing in its row with the Morrison government over the global coronavirus pandemic investigation was motivated by protecting the Belt and Road Initiative.

The above adds to the evidence of Chinese Communist Party infiltration of Australia's legal , political and business systems. As suggested on this blog recently, Australia needs a Malaysian style Operation Judas to counter the infiltration.

The Malaysian case involved a known leader, Chin Peng, who was being backed by the Communist Party Of China, and by the time Operation Judas was executed, his influence had waned.

In Australia on the other hand there appear to be very many handlers who can call on a legion of assets in both the private and public sectors. 

As the former head of ASIO Duncan Lewis put it:

“Espionage and foreign interference is insidious,” he said. “Its effects might not present for decades and by that time it’s too late.

“You wake up one day and find decisions made in our country that are not in the interests of our country.”

Decisive action is needed, regardless of who it affects, and how high it goes.
