Canberra ‘doesn’t know difference’ between Chinese ownership and investment

[@roxydownunder]

Can Australians buy large landholdings in China? I don’t think so. So why for heavens sake does our Government allow them to buy large swaths of our land?

[@bushfingers]

Wow - we are dumb, having our land sold from under our feet

[@commentfreely5443]

even 3rd world Philippines only allows foreigners and foreign companies to own 49% of anything.

James Conway , Russian, Chinese or jut simple troll! Hard to tell, or perhaps it’s just easier to put people into boxes! FDI is bad or is it just when it’s Chinese? I wonder why all these western countries are seeking high FDI?! It’s almost as if that created economic growth, jobs and prosperity... but what do I know, I’m just a bot!

[@ericjennings1388]

Hello to all. I have said this many times. The sale of all assets in Australia to foreign governments and corporations must cease immediately. Even leasing should be stopped. This is especially relevant to all countries who will not allow Foreign countries and big business to purchase land, property and businesses in their countries which is mostly concentrated in Asia.How can a relationship between trading partners with this sort of arrangement be balanced with the conditions that the Asian countries put on foreigners? The most egregious point of all of this is the treachery of all of our leaders both past and present who have allowed this to happen. It is about time laws were introduced that will force politicians to be accountable for their actions such as jail time and asset stripping. As an example, all those who were involved in the selling or 99 year leasing of Darwin Port to a communist government should be brought to task. What treachery. We are all such suckers.

This is SO frighteningly scary. I wish I'd seen this clip months ago. Foreign ownership needs to be stopped. NOW.

[@markdp1983]

The catalyst has now occurred 4 months after this report aired. Australia needs to reclaim all the land owned by Chinese interests (i.e Chinese Government), as reparations for unleashing a virus that is crashing the economy. Simple as that. Reparations must come. No ifs or buts...

[@fredfred6522]

Change the laws no foreign ownership

[@GovernYourself]

Wow, how smart is Australia? Our governments have allowed a politically hostile government to own large chunks of our prime land - not to mention key strategic infrastructure including a port in the top end and air strips in WA and who knows where else. ... all for a fast buck without any consideration of the type of Australia future Aussie generations will be forced to live under.

If they want to live here, and become Australian (Ms Lieu) that is a different set of circumstances. We also need to know about the the airfield in WA; this would make a "base" for the PLA if they want one, nice and handy in that part of the world! The person who took on the Port of Darwin job, should be tried for treason; what a pathetic turnaround for a politician

[@joeturner3098]

These politicians we have in Canberra would not know the difference between shit and clay. those who have signed out country away should be made to walk the plank

[@worldpeaceisthegoal5560]

They are NOT a government haven't been since the late 80's, We are ruled by a corperation They are running under an ABN number as are our courts ( exept the supreme court ) and the police force. Registered in the U.S. with the U.N.. Therefore they are selling us out. The time they moved to kirrabilly house they moved into corperate headquarters and they veiled our legal Commonwealth Constitution with the Australian act. They built a high wall around our legal parliament house ( the peoples house ) as to give us the finger. They did all this WITHOUT a referendum to the people of Australia by signing the Lima agreement. Why do you think our police force doesn't adhere to the rule of law anymore because they are a corperation and the aim of a corperation is to raise money. Our courts are making up the rules as they go, therefore we have dangerous criminals, walking away from serious charges and jailing people that are exercising their legal rights. Really people need to wake up and stand together behind for instance G.A.P. , One nation,. G.A.P has won several constitutional cases in the English High court and what is happening with this corperation that has hijacked our government is the biggest scam in our history. This selling us out to China is TREASON according to out LEGAL Constituion If they were forced back into parliament house ( the house of the Commonwealth ) they would be exposed for the TRAITORS they are because they would HAVE to abide by the Commonwealth Constitution and pledge loyalty to the Queen, the Commonwealth and all it's people and tell me when was the last time you heard that when they are being sworn in? Most of the younger generation the answer would be NEVER

[@herbertvonsauerkrautunterh2513]

An investment fund needs to be set up that only Australians can invest in that also only buys or invests in Australian industry... All that sold to foreign entities could be Australian owned.. or country could have more bargaining power and we could never more prosperity. But our politicians and other ruling class types are only concerned with numbers and looking good for reelection... Rather than doing the right thing. Our government needs to be a bit more selfish and put us here first... All people in government need to also realise why they are there and that they are expendable.. they are of no significance and should be removed and punished if they fail and not given a ticket to an easy life..

What about all this public land the Victorian Government plans to sell, who is the beneficiary. What about these military grade airports sitting in a remote area in Western Australia. How did they get the approvals to build that, who signed that deal? What about Cape York, now being signed over to the Chinese. Maybe, its about time the books were opened. Let's see some real audits, what exactly has been sold, to whom, and who benefited from the bribe money that was on the table. Be that cash or good jobs, who benefited, cause it certainly wasnt the Australian people. Black and white had better start coming together, cause this is a complete take over. Communism has no regard for race or history, we are all cannon fodder. I think the people need a real lesson in communism and what it really looks like. The terror our soldiers have faced in the past world wars needs to be bought to the attention of a sleeping public.
