Lies Exposed — The 000 Call That Shattered the Andrews Story

---

We begin with Daniel Andrews' biggest lie. For over a decade, he and his wife Catherine claimed 15-year-old Ryan Meuleman "T-boned" their SUV.

But in a recently obtained 000 call, Andrews can be clearly heard admitting, "WE'VE HIT HIM." 

That admission directly contradicts his long-held version of events and is supported by previously unseen police photos showing front-end damage to the SUV — including a smashed windscreen and broken right side mirror — confirming the vehicle struck Ryan, not the other way around.

Daniel Andrews gave a sworn statement to police claiming he called 000 immediately after the crash.

But 000 call logs reveal he waited more than six minutes before making that call.

In the meantime, a nearby resident contacted 000 moments earlier — her call was logged roughly six and a half minutes after the impact.

Of all Daniel Andrews’ claims, this is perhaps the most chilling — because the evidence shows it simply isn’t true.

An explosive story aired on Nine Network’s A Current Affair in March 2025 revealed Daniel Andrews avoiding direct questions from the 000 operator — and included a striking admission: “We’ve hit him.” 

Andrews was approached for comment but declined to respond. His ongoing silence has raised further public speculation about the possible legal implications of that statement.

Police reports initially said that Catherine Andrews was breathalysed at the scene. It was later revealed that police lied, and no breath tests were conducted. Police were then caught altering the reports after the lie was uncovered.

Daniel Andrews has repeatedly claimed that the incident was thoroughly investigated by police. But, neither he nor his wife were ever formally investigated, and crucial steps—such as impounding the damaged vehicle for forensic analysis—never took place.

A key witness has stated that Daniel Andrews left the crash site and walked his 3 children to their rented holiday house — contradicting Andrews’ claim that he remained at the scene directing traffic. That account calls into question Andrews’ version of events and suggests he not have stayed to render assistance.

In his 000 call, Daniel Andrews claimed he couldn’t see if Ryan was bleeding. But another witness told 000 that Ryan was visibly bleeding through his t-shirt. This raises questions about whether Daniel Andrews was even at the crash scene when he was talking to the 000 operator. 

The government-issued SUV Daniel Andrews drove away in after the crash had a smashed windscreen, front-end damage, and a missing side mirror — making it unroadworthy. Police failed to impound or forensically examine the vehicle before allowing Andrews to drive it away, resulting in the loss of critical evidence.

Even in an emergency, it takes only seconds to call 000. Yet neither Daniel Andrews nor his wife, Catherine, made that call immediately—despite both having mobile phones. 

The victim recalls the couple arguing for what felt like several minutes. Notably, Catherine Andrews—the (unconfirmed) driver in the police report—never made the call at all.

When Andrews eventually phoned 000—around 6½ minutes after the crash—the operator asked if the other caller on the line was his wife. Despite claiming to police that he was standing only metres away from her, Andrews couldn’t confirm this.

His uncertainty raises serious doubt about his account of events and where he really was during those crucial minutes.

The delay and contradictions suggest that, instead of acting quickly to help the injured boy, the couple’s focus may have been on managing the situation and controlling what would later be said.

Daniel and Catherine Andrews have never been formally interviewed or investigated by police over the crash. 

Instead, the only investigation centred on the two attending officers — Senior Constable Shayna Sage and Constable Daniel Ward — who failed to follow key procedures. They allowed Daniel Andrews to drive away in an unroadworthy government SUV, did not breathalyse Catherine Andrews, and submitted reports that falsely suggested they had done so.

When inconsistencies in their reports were exposed, Sage and Ward quietly amended them. Yet instead of facing disciplinary or criminal consequences for these serious breaches, both officers were reportedly let off with warnings — and later promoted.

Victoria Police must now conduct a full, transparent investigation into the crash and the handling of evidence, regardless of where that investigation leads or who it implicates.
