A Washington Post headline refers to “Dictator Dan” and his “drastic” rules. The Premier’s hit back this afternoon with a dig of his own.
The Victorian Premier has returned fire after one of the world’s biggest newspapers after a headline labelled him a “dictator”.
The Washington Post’s Tuesday morning print edition featured a photograph of heavily armed Victoria Police officers in riot gear among the fruit and vegetable stalls at the Queen Victoria Market.
The image was accompanied by the headline: “Australia’s virus ‘dictator’ still wins hearts.”
Speaking to reporters this afternoon, Mr Andrews said, bluntly, “I don’t read the Washington Post.” He said he was not interested “in name calling”.
