Mr. Chair, I have a question about the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which is part of China's belt and road initiative and part of its attempt to export its model of governance throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
The government has joined the AIIB and has already contributed $50 million in public money to this initiative, and is asking for an additional $49 million more in the estimates in front of us.
Is the minister aware that Australia recently cancelled two belt and road agreements with China because of the threats that China was presenting to Australia?
