Anthony Albanese will be coming up with his own amendment to move for the cancellation of the $506 million leasing of the Port of Darwin to a Chinese government entity, according to Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.
This comes after the prime minister announced his government’s plan to introduce legislation to parliament next week seeking the power to tear up agreements with foreign powers that went against Australia's interests. The bill would allow the federal government to cancel Victoria’s controversial Belt and Road agreement. “Albanese will argue it is arguably more important than the Belt and Road deal,” Mr Clennell said.

aclennell Who’s going to pay them back?
aclennell And the LNP are under attack for causing poor relations !
aclennell Good luck...and the Chinese will say....ohhh so sorry! Its ours now...or pay them the 99 year old lease then...🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
aclennell Don't worry Albo, is gonna all be underwater soon. Right Tim Flannery?
aclennell Late to the party but better late than never.
aclennell Why do we have a parliament? Just a circus would do, where all these clowns could gather screw everyone and country over... Then the building could be put to good use.... A piggery?
aclennell Great news! 👍🇦🇺 Unbelievable that we made the deal in the first place. 🤨
aclennell The Australian Government should not allow a foreign government to open, build or manage a port of entry..FFS can't see the Chinese government not going to try to invade. It's a port of entry our leaders can't be this stupid. Could they?
FatherBob aclennell Good..what moron thought this was a good idea....
aclennell
aclennell Let's foret who sold what, Labour Liberal they are all corrupt crooks and focus on getting our country back. While the people are divided this stuff just continues to happen. These people are supposed to be working in our interest not their own.
aclennell I agree it never should have happened. It was ignorant stupidity. Who was actually responsible. And what will achina do if we take it back?
aclennell The only good thing that Albo has suggested but can he be believed to follow through
FatherBob aclennell AlboMP Finally something I can agree with the labor party on .... should never have happened , that was on HonTonyAbbott or TurnbullMalcolm watch. Wonder if they agree with cancelling? darwinport
aclennell Good for the goose Good for the gander hey?
aclennell What about NSW and the Newcastle Port lease ? Half of the port is leased to China Merchants Group $1.75 billion for a 98-year lease. Gladys owns this one?
aclennell And what about the Leasing of the Newcastle harbour; for 99 yrs at twice the amount and what do we have to show? No cargo terminal, No cruise liner terminal, a mickey mouse tram system and a privatised bus service. Sydney, where's the money? And show me the benefits
aclennell Keep those commie bastards out of there.
aclennell And will this Darwin Port amendment say, “Commonwealth government responsible for damages payable for breach of contract”?
aclennell Hmmm, wonder if he's had words with his Labor Premier buddy Danny Boy in Victoria about his Chinese investments. Bet he hasn't.
aclennell So, is it the Chinese Govt, or a 'Chinese government entity'
aclennell Wasn’t it Labor who leased it out.
aclennell 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Then all foreign owned farms next!
aclennell Yes AlboMP and look at other ports and airports China shouldn't have their hands on auspol WWEPayback COVID19VicData
aclennell Well someone's gotta do it... cos the current government is as limp as dead fellas cock.
aclennell Never should have happened in the first place. Stop selling Australian assets to foreign interests for personal gain full stop.
aclennell Thinking the USA is a tad uncomfortable with their assets on Aussie soil and the port of Darwin in Chinese hands.
aclennell Good kick them all out round them up n send them all packing
aclennell AnAl finally doing something useful. I suppose there is always a first for everything.
aclennell Knowing labor , it would mean selling it to the Chinese 🤣
