‘Unbecoming’: Anthony Albanese ‘so scared’ he will get a bad reaction from China

The Australian Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan has blasted Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for his “stage fright” and for being unable to cope with the Chinese government. Chinese Premier Li Qiang visited Parliament House on Monday. Sky News journalist Cheng Lei was blocked by Chinese officials at a media event between Mr Li and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. “The Albanese government is so scared if they one word out of the Chinese-approved script they’ll get a bad reaction,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “This is unbecoming. “This looks like a Prime Minister who’s got stage fright, who can’t cope with the Chinese.”
