A leading member of Australia’s second-largest worker’s union has pleaded with the Victorian state premier to withdraw from its Belt and Road agreement with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), saying “history will judge all of us” if it remains tied to Beijing.
Michael Donovan, head of the Victorian branch of the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association (SDA) wrote a letter to Daniel Andrews, the state premier saying, “We reject the notion that somehow the Chinese people need and want an authoritarian government because they are too immature to govern themselves, and are not deserving the same rights we have.”
