What’s ‘a little unusual’ about the Premier’s trip to China

Premier Daniel Andrews will jet off to China today, and there’s something “a little unusual” about the trip.

Mr Andrews says he will meet with senior officials from the Ministry of Education and Beijing Government to discuss trade and cultural ties, and the return of Chinese students to Victoria.

On most international trips, politicians invite media, but none have been invited on this trip.

Nine News reporter Heidi Murphy says it’s “a little unusual”.

“It’s interesting he’s decided not to take the Education Minister or the Trade Minister with him, you’d think those couple of individuals with responsibilities for those portfolios, if that’s the aim, if that’s the thrust of the mission, that they’d be going as well,” she told Ross and Russel.
