The federal government should consider reclaiming Australian ownership of Darwin Port if the facility's long-term lease to a foreign corporation is found to be against the national interest, a federal parliamentary committee has recommended.The deal included 100 per cent operational control and 80 per cent ownership of the port
The 99-year deal triggered immediate concerns among some defence and diplomatic analysts because it gave operational control of the port to aThe United States, which in 2012 began deploying hundreds of US Marines to Darwin each year, felt so blindsided by the port deal that. The committee stated: "[If the port deal is subject to the act], consider taking measures to have the Port of Darwin brought back under Australian ownership if current arrangements are not deemed to be in the national interest."
"Given the ongoing tensions with China, it is an unacceptable national security risk to have Chinese state-owned and state-linked enterprises involved in our universities … and our strategic infrastructure." "Their poor decision-making, incompetent governance and pursuit of short-term monetary gain has compromised Australia's long-term strategic security," the Labor members said.
And so they should.
🖕China 🇨🇳‼️ Do not leave them even 1 inch of your soil ✊
China: We will invade within five years. Your total destruction is imminent. Australia: Yeah, well, we could sell you a port? Cheap? Waddya say? Throw in a few kegs?

lol everyone shitting at me when i said the fed gov can just take it back. How do i know this? Because my dad best friend had his land & home taken from him by the gov & sold to mining company. I mean there are costs involved but they can and do do it all the time.
Yes well that had to be the dumbest sale in Australian history 🙄
All the stains Turnbull left on the Australian Parliament need to be cleaned away. This one is a good example.
Can we start buying back our electricity distributors too then?
Of course buy back the Port (and others). It should never have been allowed to happen in the first place. What an embarrassment. Laughing stock of the world. 🚢

Why not?
And jail the politicians that approved this
Take back as soon as possible.
Duh
Underestimated the Australian people and sold us out and now regret it because they're goners too, typical cowards
NT is held by Labor, and Darwin Port is their pet project.
That will be another nail to future of oz economy, any foreign investment will be very skeptical of such totalitarian policy
For gods sake - do it. Chinese ownership of a major Australian port is NOT in our national interest. Could it be any clearer?
If you can go back on your promises, rip off an agreement and get away with it scathingly, why not? Russia might be next easy target for this kind of scam.
Do it do it
