Port of Melbourne sold to consortium backed by China in 201602/05/2021|9min
MedCare Asia Pacific Director Andrew Phelan says the “world has changed” since a consortium, including the Chinese sovereign wealth fund, bought the Port of Melbourne in 2016.
China’s sovereign wealth fund, the China Investment Corp, was part of a consortium of domestic and global funds which bought the port back in 2016.
It comes as concerns grow around Chinese ownership of the Port of Darwin and the Port of Newcastle.
“The world has changed, and I think these deals should not go ahead,” Mr Phelan said.

The President of the Association of Secondary Teachers in Ireland has said it is heartening to hear that many students have signed up to sit Leaving Certificate exams so far.
Speaking at the ASTI Annual Convention Ann Piggott said her union are glad that a Leaving Cert is being held with second components.
She said they had continually asked for adaptations to exam papers to offer choice and reduce strain, stress, anxiety and workload for students in the Leaving Cert this year.
The changes made are helpful in doing so, she said, and should encourage students to sit exams.
