Former Victorian premier poses alongside Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un
The Albanians went to China to meet the XI in July and exhibited warmer ties, but the government did not want to be near the parade of Putin and Kim, and a passage ceremony, hosted by other anti -Western national leaders.
Andrews, an Albanian ally for more than the same left fraction, advised the Prime Minister about discussion tactics before the last election, and the couple was caught for lunch at Melbourne’s Gimlet restaurant in June.
Andrews’ trip to Beijing made a discussion in Canberra on Wednesday. On Wednesday, Albanian was asked to participate in the parade of Andrews during the question.
“The Australian government had a representative there, Albania said Albania. “The Australian government had a representative 10 years ago [at the 70th anniversary celebrations]. This was a minister [Coalition] state. Our government chose this [sending a minister] This would not be the case. “
Carr, following the parade, will participate in separate indoor events and instead of going to the parade, he said he would appeal to two Chinese international relationships.
I said I would not participate in the passage ceremony, but I wanted to accelerate the arrangements to talk to thought tanks, ”Carr said. “I had to decide whether I was interested in a traditional Soviet -style military parade, or whether I want to choose meetings with delegations.”
When asked if he wanted a briefing before flying Beijing, Carr said he had Australian diplomats in his activities.
Palaszczuk, Carr and Andrews’ commemoration activities, he said is an error. Palaszczuk told Sky News on Wednesday, “If I had been, it would be a definite charity.”
Orum I respect Dan, I respect Bob. But I think they went to the next level. Go there for a holiday, do your job interviews, but there is no need to attend this military parade. ”
Victoria’s Emergency Services Minister Vick Ward said it was a matter for Andrews and returned to questions about whether it was appropriate.
“What is my association?” Ward said at a press conference early on Wednesday. “He goes as a special individual and these are his choices as a special individual.”
He said that it is important to maintain good and healthy relations with other countries in the region.
An anonymous Victoria Worker MP, anonymous to become a Frank, said it was a bad look.
Worker MPs were not willing to break a record criticizing a successful old premiere, but many of them were specially shocked.
“It’s really sad to see a state leader used in this way,” he said about the status of anonymity to Masthead.

In the official group photo of Xi’s foreign leaders and former leaders, the image of Andrews, who stands two rows behind Kim, is preparing to increase the business population of the old premiere in China, where the portraits of the Chinese President are everywhere.
Andrews suffered a taxpayer of $ 416,000 taxpayers for six trips to China before and after Victoria’s $ 1.5 trillion -dollar generation and Road Infrastructure Initiative of Beijing.
The state’s government’s explanation diaries revealed that he witnessed the agreements between the chemist warehouses and Alibaba, lobbying lobby for direct daily flights from Beijing and Sichuan to Melbourne and lobbying for direct daily flights to Chinese Liquor Luhou.
