Port of Darwin's Chinese ownership under review

Port of Darwin's Chinese ownership under review

????

The federal government is considering if the Port of Darwin's ownership by a Chinese company constitutes a national security risk. Landbridge Managing Director Mike Hughes has resigned amid speculation the multinational company could be forced to release its lease over Australia's northern deepwater port. ASPI's John Coyne told Sky News Australia there can be no doubt the Chinese Community Party will react in a short sharp way. 'There will be plenty of rhetoric thrown around. More than likely there'll be some economic ramifications,' he said.

THE AUSTRALIAN LENINIST PARTY BELONGS TO CHINA On October 21, 2023 by Hoa Truong With 0 Comments - Published Articles The illegal lease of Darwin Port in the Northern Territory raises grave concerns about national security and sovereignty when the strategic position in Australia is controlled by China’s Communist Party. The incident reflects the treason when Darwin located the military bases of the United States and Australia. Initially, Chief Minister of Northern Territory Adam Giles of the Country Liberal Party, an indigenous background secretly dealt with Landbridge Group owned by China’s Communist Party to lease the Darwin Port for 99 years with $A506 million. Nevertheless, the illegal deal was made under the rule of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull who supported Adam Giles. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was Labor’s undercovered activist who climbed higher and dived deeper into the Liberal Party. Moreover, Malcolm Turnbull has a daughter-in-law who came from a high-ranking cadre family of China’s Communist Party. Actually, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is the leftist who controls the Conservative Party (the Liberal Party). Prime Minister John Howard made a critical mistake when he recruited the hidden Labor espionage agent on his front bench. The damage control and the dire consequences are inevitable. Moreover, Mr. Malcolm Turnbull brought the habit of Labor to make a coup toppled Prime Minister Tony Abbott in 2015. While holding the Liberal Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull vowed to stand alongside” comrade China”. The same-sex marriage postal survey cost the taxpayers $ A122 million which favored the topic of Labor Senate leader Penny Wong because she is a lesbian. (the full story is on thedawnmedia.com)

Ridiculous. Australian wimp politicians think everything will be ok if they bend the knee to China. Everything will be okay until it isn't and China is invading Australia.

China now has a port in Australia, an enclave, like the British had Hong Kong - that was a 99 year lease too!
@matthewquinney1628 Says:
When you look at the money wasted by this government ie: Covid and submarines in 30 years. Fixing the port would of been pocket change to them and created jobs. The Government love bragging their making jobs

@Nat88123 Says:
You stuff around with Chinese investments, there will be backlash. You give a lease, honour it. Australia will be strengthening military and ports from south west and east so it may be in Australias economic interests to do the right thing. We are known for our FAIR GO POLICY. China has it's own problems, in particular agriculture.

Can you imagine if Japan ran and controlled Darwin's port, in 1940? (09/11 was about failure of imagination!) China PLA, just got caught building secret military installation in UAE harbor that they run and control. What's going on in Darwin harbor? LoL C-C-P Xi's saying no hegemony, Tibet, Korea, Vietnam, India line of control, just land deals, business! expression Xi's talk 狗屁 (gǒu pì) – literally “dog farts” means talking nonsense or rubbish.

Review???? The contract should of been cancelled before it went through.
@spartanconscience2693 Says:
Its on public record. When in power as PM Tony Abbott of the Liberal/NP Party said he wanted to be a true friend of China and openly supported a free trade agreement between China and Australia. This is the man Sky-news supports. A communist sympathizer. Sky-news and the Liberal/NP Party are communist sympathizers. They are Traitors to Australia.
@spartanconscience2693 Says:
The people support Keating's stand with China. They know Australia owes its wealth and prosperity to China sending 45% of its exports there. Those opposed are the top 1% who control the real power in Australia and its mouthpieces like SkyFakeNews and Morrison who are collaborators for the Americans and Traitors to Australia. SkyFakeNews is an American owned company. It is Anti-Australia. It wants to give the country to the USA.

@davidjma7226 Says:
Land and ports......anyone see the connection here? China sees Australia as their clean green good bowl for the future. Australia should worry about its own food security.

The Aussie guy who facilitated the sale got the CEO job on big six figures for three days a week of work! Oooops!
@patrussell8917 Says:
Who okayed this idiotic lease? Seemed the public were not sufficiently involved or warned ownership of Darwin and Newcastle China would allow the reverse situation if Australia tried to buy Shanghai or Hong Kong. Never
@Explorshon123 Says:
OBVIOUSLY a stupid idea to to put a strategic port into the hand of a foreign power, ESPECIALLY, ESPECIALLY.. a COMMUNIST country. You don't need a great strategic mind to KNOW that!

The people of Australia were never consulted on the deal, again the government has not performed in the best interests of the people. Corruption is rife in Australian politics, that’s the real problem.

China will crucify Australia if this comes off. Who the hell signed such an agreement when the writing was on the wall just by looking around the World and seeing how China was trapping the poorer Countries 'right left and center'. The lucky country is in for some rocky times head.
