Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed that the Labor government will review the 99-year lease of Darwin Port to Landbridge, a Chinese company.

“What I’ve said is what I said prior to the election, and I will do what I said,” Albanese said in a press conference on June 8 with Natasha Fyles, Northern Territory’s Labor Chief Minister.
