Anthony Albanese has refused to condemn his former flatmate Daniel Andrews’ decision to join a parade of dictators and despots in Beijing as newly resurfaced footage shows the former Victorian Premier appearing on state-run television.

But for the first time, the Prime Minister offered a hint of criticism, conceding that attending the dictator parade was something that “nobody in his government would have thought of doing.”

Anthony Albanese has refused to condemn his former flatmate Daniel Andrews’ decision to join a parade of dictators and despots in Beijing as newly resurfaced footage shows the former Victorian Premier appearing on state-run television.

But for the first time, the Prime Minister offered a hint of criticism, conceding that attending the dictator parade was something that “nobody in his government would have thought of doing.”

Amid predictions that Mr Andrews is set to make millions from his strong ties with the Chinese regime, in his new role as a consultant and businessman, the former Victorian Premier has sung the praises of China in a televised interview.

But in parliament, Liberal leader Sussan Ley opened question time with a question to the Prime Minister on the unfolding controversy.

“Today I once again unequivocally express the coalition’s utter condemnation of former premier Dan Andrews’ attendance at the CCP military parade, where he stood with dictators, despots and war criminals like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un,’’ she said.

“Will the Prime Minister show the necessary leadership to join with us and so many other Labor leaders in this condemnation?.”

In response, Mr Albanese noted that only diplomats formally represented Australia, in contrast to the Coalition government that sent Liberal MP Michael Ronaldson.

But asked again by Sussan Ley about the “message” it sent. Mr Albanese shifted ground.

Mr Albanese responded that he had taken “decisive action” on Iran but then sought to distance himself from Mr Andrews.
