The cancellation covers a memorandum of understanding that the Labor premier, Daniel Andrews, signed with China’s national development and reform commission in 2018. That included a pledge to work together on initiatives under Xi Jinping’s signature Belt and Road infrastructure-building program.
The veto also targets the subsequent framework for establishing a working group, at a time when relations between the Australian and Chinese governments have sunk to the lowest levels in decades.

Marise Payne scraps Victoria's Belt and Road Initiative deal with China


Foreign Minister Marise Payne has shredded four state government deals with foreign nations in the first audit of major projects of its kind.
All four are in Victoria and include two with China as part of the nation s Belt and Road Initiative. The other two are with Syria and Iran.
I consider these four arrangements to be inconsistent with Australia s foreign policy or adverse to our foreign relations in line with the relevant test in Australia s Foreign Relations (State and Territory Arrangements) Act 2020, Ms Payne said in a statement tonight.
