Victoria’s incumbent Labor government has released the details of the controversial Belt and Road Initiative agreement it signed with the Chinese government last month. The four-page document was made available online late Nov. 11.
The disclosure by Premier Daniel Andrews’ office came after voices from both sides of politics at the state level and the Prime Minister mounted significant pressure on the Premier to publicise exactly what he had signed with a foreign government last month. Andrews first announcement the “historic” agreement on Oct. 25 through a press release on the state government’s website, although the contents of the agreement were said to be confidential.
