Daniel in the political hot seat

07/07/2011

Daniel Andrews got to sit in the seat of his namesake Labor Party leader Daniel Andrews in parliament.

GRADE 4 student Daniel Andrews got to warm the seat of his political namesake during a class excursion last week.
Lighthouse Christian College in Keysborough went to Parliament House in Melbourne to learn how government works and Daniel got to see the world from the view of Labor Party leader Daniel Andrews’ desk.
But when asked if he would like to fill the shoes of Mr Andrews when he grew up, Daniel said no.
“I would rather be a spy for Australia than work like Mr Andrews behind this huge desk!” Daniel said.
