The Australian Labor government, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, is pursuing options to buy the Port of Darwin, currently leased by the Chinese-owned Landbridge Group. Despite the company claiming it is not for sale, Albanese revealed discussions for a potential sale involving Australian investors, particularly superannuation funds. The Coalition, led by Peter Dutton, is also focused on returning the port to Australian ownership, highlighting concerns about foreign control over national assets. Both parties recognize the issue's significance amid ongoing debates about national security and asset management.
We are trying to see if there is a private buyer, particularly through superannuation funds, he said.
I'm pleased to announce today that an elected Coalition government will move immediately to secure the Darwin port and to make sure that we can bring that national asset back into Australian ownership.
