Daniel Andrews

Initiated knife crime framework — now consulting for major donor Pratt

As Premier, Andrews initiated the knife crime legislative framework that led to the Allan government's machete ban. Post-resignation, Andrews was hired as a consultant by Anthony Pratt (Visy) at ~$100K/year. Pratt is Australia's largest political donor ($11M+ over a decade to both major parties). Scott Morrison was hired on similar terms. The $42.5M Coolaroo recycling facility involved Victorian government co-investment during Andrews' premiership. This illustrates the revolving door between Victorian politics and major donors.
