US EditionAustralian Government Moves to Reclaim Chinese-Leaded Port of Darwin
- Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese indicated plans to end the port lease with the Chinese company Landbridge before the May 3 election, stating, 'We want it to be in Australian hands.'
- The Coalition announced intentions to force Landbridge to sell the port or utilize compulsory acquisition powers if a private buyer isn't secured within six months.
- Albanese's government has engaged potential Australian buyers for the port, seeking to terminate the $506 million contract with Landbridge, which has held the lease since 2015.
- Concerns about national security were raised due to the port's Chinese ownership, prompting both major political parties to favor returning it to Australian control.
