Australia’s national Labor leader, Anthony Albanese, has said that he is against the Belt and Road arrangements his state counterpart, Victorian Labor leader Daniel Andrews, made with Beijing.

“There shouldn’t be agreements that are inconsistent with Australia’s national interests or our foreign policy,” Albanese told ABC NewsRadio on Aug. 30.
