Bike Boy – The True Crime PodcastShow Notes
In S2, Episode 9 of Bike Boy – The True Crime Podcast, former police protection officer Chris Burson speaks publicly about his experiences protecting former Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and his wife, Catherine Andrews. Chris shares his concerns about the couple's behaviour following the 2013 crash that nearly killed 15-year-old Ryan Meuleman. He also describes what he alleges were instances of reckless driving by Daniel Andrews, including running amber lights and forcing members of his protection unit to proceed through red lights to maintain the security convoy. The episode also explores claims of late-night socialising and drinking during Melbourne's COVID-19 lockdown period, raising questions about conduct, accountability and leadership. As always, listeners are encouraged to consider the evidence, the allegations and the responses for themselves.
