Australia's House of Representatives passed legislation Thursday to prevent Russia from building a new embassy near Parliament House on security grounds.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the legislation would extinguish Russia's lease on the site based on the advice of security agencies.
Albanese did not directly answer when asked if there were also security concerns about the Chinese Embassy across a street from the Russian site. Under the lease conditions, Russia had agreed to complete construction within three years, but the embassy remains partially built. The Russian embassy would remain in Griffith and Australia's embassy would remain in Moscow, Albanese said.
