‘Bad look’: Cheng Lei blocked at PM and Chinese Premier’s briefing
Sky News host Cheng Lei says she was “blocked” at Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Chinese Premier Li Qiang’s briefing to prevent her from saying something they think would be a “bad look”.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang has reached Canberra as he continues his tour of Australia.
“At the … briefing by Prime Minister Albanese and Premier Li Qiang … just now really highlighted that,” Ms Cheng told Sky News Australia.
“They went to great lengths to block me from the cameras and to flank me, and I’m only guessing it's to prevent me from saying something or doing something that they think would be a bad look, but that, in itself, was a bad look.”
