Federal government swoops in and cancels controversial Belt and Roads deal
The federal government has torn up Victoria's Belt and Road agreement with China because it was inconsistent with Australia's foreign policy.
The Commonwealth used its new veto laws to cancel four agreements — all negotiated by Victorian authorities — including a 2004 deal between the state's Education and Training Department with Iran and a 1999 scientific co-operation agreement with Syria.
The move is expected to further escalate tensions between Canberra and Beijing.
