O'Shannassy aqueduct bridge at the Dee road landslip around 30 years ago before Parks Victoria and the Andrews Labor government neglected it over many years. This is a public asset and should never have been allowed to deteriorate to it's current state.

​Is this the reason Andrews refuses to release the secret DELWP report into Zhou Jiuming's illegal wombat shooting safari ranch at 707 Murrindindi road Murrindindi Victoria despite it being completed over 2 years ago ?
This is a photo of Mike Yang Andrews's former China advisor of many years with Andrews at the Great Wall of China. Yang is a business partner through the company ZYTT pty ltd of convicted criminal Zhou Jiuming. Zhou is in jail guilty of extortion, embezzling and money laundering after being deported on a secret Interpol red notice. ZYTT was deregisted last month. Zhou is also the owner of the illegal wombat safari ranch at Murrindindi. Andrews has kept the secret DELWP investigation into that property secret for over 2 years since it's completion. Is it because ZYTT is a substantial Labor party donor ? ZYTT were also behind the failed development of 472 Bourke st Melbourne known as the Equity Chambers. They sold that for $25,000,000 making a $10,000,000 "profit".

Zhou Jiuming that's who this is in the pic. He owns the illegal wombat safari ranch at 707 Murrindindi rd. He is a mate of Dan Andrews. Labor party donor. Recently sold his $19 million mansion at 34 Hopetoun rd Toorak. Oh and in jail on many serious crim

Why was his property at 34 Hopetoun rd Toorak not seized as both proceeds of crime and unexplained wealth. Why has the Andrews government not released the secret DELWP investigation into the illegal wombat hunting safari lodge despite it being completed over 2 years ago ? Why are they protecting this criminal and his assets ?

The question is why hasn't the Andrews government in Victoria seized the property at 707 Murrindidni road Murrindindi under either the proceeds of crime or the unexplained wealth legislation or both ? Zhou was able to sneakily transfer and then sell his $19,000,000 mansion at 34 Hopetoun road Toorak during one of the many lockdowns without it even being advertised or no real estate agent to show. The $7,500,000 property at Murrindidi should be seized and it should be turned into a wombat sanctuary. 707 Murrindindi road is also know as the Dude ranch or Balaclava Station.
