THE LIES
Top 10 Lies & Cover-Ups by Daniel Andrews & Victoria Police
#1: Ryan Hit Us
# 3: Failure to Publicly Address his 000 Admission
# 2: I called 000 Immediately
We begin with Dan Andrews' biggest lie. For over a decade, he and wife Catherine Andrews 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." This admission is supported by previously hidden police photos that show front-end damage to the SUV, including a smashed windscreen and broken right side-mirror, proving the Andrews SUV struck Ryan.

# 2: I called 000 Immediately
Daniel Andrews gave a sworn statement to police claiming that he called 000 immediately after the crash. But, 000 call logs reveal he waited over six minutes before making the call. Meanwhile, a neighbour spoke to 000 at least two minutes earlier. Of all Daniel Andrews’ lies, this one is the most chilling

Police reports initially said that both Daniel and Catherine Andrews were 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.

Two witnesses stated that Daniel Andrews left the crash site and walked 250 metres to his rented holiday house, before returning later after police and an ambulance had arrived. Andrews has lied about this in his accounts, proving he failed to remain at the scene and render assistance.
# 7: I Didn't See Any Blood on Ryan
# 8: Unroadworthy Vehicle Left Unexamined
# 8: Unroadworthy Vehicle Left Unexamined
In his 000 call, Daniel Andrews claimed he couldn’t see if Ryan was bleeding. But, a 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 000.

The government-issued SUV Daniel Andrews drove away after the crash had a smashed windscreen, front-end damage and missing a side-view mirror, rendering it unroadworthy. Police failed to impound this vehicle or conduct a forensic examination.

# 8: Unroadworthy Vehicle Left Unexamined
# 10: The police acted appropriately at all times.
During the 000 call, Andrews claimed he didn’t know if his wife, Catherine, standing just metres away, was also calling 000. If he really was only 10 metres away, he would have seen and heard her talking to 000.

Under Victorian law, Daniel and Catherine Andrews should face charges including perjury (for providing false statements to police), failure to render assistance (a breach of duty in serious accidents), reckless conduct endangering life and destroying evidence, like driving the SUV away.
Police could face charges for misconduct in public office, falsifying evidence, and obstruction of justice, particularly in relation to altering reports, failing to conduct proper investigations, and suppressing key evidence like the 000 call and crash photos.
