Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang has just concluded his trip to Australia, and Prime Minister Tan Bao has decided to withdraw the proposal for a "treaty on extradition between China and Australia" because of opposition from opposition parties and back-row lawmakers, and even if the government submits the treaty to the Senate, the Senate will not approve it.
During President Xi Jinping`s visit to Australia in 2014, then Prime Minister Albert (Tony Abbott) also mentioned the treaty, but he told the Australian newspaper that China`s legal system still needs to be improved. Otherwise, the Australian government will not be able to determine that the relevant system is fair and just.
Australia has concluded extradition treaties with 39 countries to ensure that Australia does not become a crime.
Former Prime Minister John Howard signed a treaty on extradition between China and Australia in 2007, which has not been approved. The Tembo government was scheduled to return to parliament for a vote on Tuesday. But Labour`s shadow cabinet met Monday night to decide against the proposal.
