Sky News host Andrew Bolt says Victoria is โ€œmore like China every dayโ€ as Premier Daniel Andrews seeks to โ€œcontrol the mediaโ€. โ€œ

Jon Faine was for many years the ABCโ€™s morning presenter in Melbourne โ€“ as hard left as they come,โ€ Mr Bolt said. โ€œAnd it was Jon Faine that Premier Andrews thought โ€“ yes, this is one of the few journalists I shall trust with an interview with me to show Iโ€™m back at work after hurting my back more than three months ago, falling down the stairs.

โ€œBut who thought the left still had principles about being used like this as a mouthpiece by left wing politicians.โ€ According to Mr Bolt, Faine offered his piece to The Age, but they โ€œturned it downโ€, and when Faine offered the story to the ABC, they also turned him down. โ€œFaine used to be an ABC star, now even the ABC thinks it shouldnโ€™t be using his stuff. But they were happy to do so for many years. โ€œThatโ€™s one thing, but check out how tightly Premier Andrews now wants to control the media.โ€

Mr Bolt discussed Premier Andrewsโ€™ return to work with former Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger and former Labor Senator Stephen Conroy.
