			<description><![CDATA[Yes, but we should not get complacent. I don't want to be a slave to a Communist Chinese master. This is now happening in Africa or what I like to call New China. I am against those who will sell us out to Communist China for a short-term profit: the Judases of Australia.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You are probably correct, Mr Opinion. I guess we will continue to have a schizophrenic future. The major military base of our USA masters, and an agricultural colony for our Chinese masters. But then that's how Australia has always been, We've simply swapped China for the UK. It makes a mockery of giving us a seat on the Security Council, surely other nations can see that is simply one more vote for the USA? We sold off our sovereignty long ago, just as we're now selling off our land and businesses.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Everyone needs to come to grips with the reality that Australia is now an economic colony of Communist China. Communist China is going through the same phase of industrialisati on that Britain experienced in the early 1900s. It is establishing world markets in just the same way the British did. The Communist Party of China is determined to capture world resources and control the world economy. This will eventually allow it to control politicians and governments on a global level with a view to establishing political systems to its own liking. Who said the Cold War was over! It's not over - it's just shifted slightly.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Rather than land ownership I think that some kind of lease arrangement would be better, However, Most of the people that complain about foreign ownership are Australians and it is Australian farmers and property owners who sell to the foreign investment companies in order to make money.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Cotton is a crop that shouldn't be grown in Australia because of the amount of water it requires. The water licences the station holds should be resumed somehow and a more sustainable farming system developed. I'd rather the property weren't foreign owned.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As a child in world war 2, with food rationing, food substitutes, shortages, we found out what happens when import supplies are cut ! Australia is not self sufficient in food. Farmers are leaving farms due to cheap imports & we are losing their skills to farm. With out imports, there would be food shortages. So if supply is cut off by a foreign governments, we would be in trouble. How amusing to think that "the land will always be there". Farm land has to be nurtured & cared for. If it is contaminated by mining, or turned to desert by poor management or overrun by weeds it will take years to get it back to food production.We need to keep Aussie land in Aussie hands, we need food security & should maintain our precious farm lands as a matter of policy.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Anyone who does not "strongly support" foreign investment as being necessary for Australia had no grasp of economics. Australia would be a poor, backward and inconsequential country without foreign investment. Since European settlement, there have been massive opportunities for development which could only be taken with foreign capital, and there will always be a cost to policies which restrict its entry. This applies to purchase of existing assets as well as new ventures.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Food Security? Take a look around any town in Australia and point out ANYONE that needs more "food security" in this country. In some far distant future, if and when Australia ever actually has a lack of food, the land is still here. Just like the Snowy River sell-off, people seem to think that the land and water will be dug out and shipped off out of our reach.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Cubby will not improve our food security, but restoring the D :cry: arling river to health, will. The entire place should be resumed and become a national park, the dams and irrigation returned to their natural state. The Chinese will never relinquish one drop of water, because they are concerned about their own food security, which is why they're buying up vast tracts of land all over Africa, starving many of the locals in the process. Selling Cubby is as corrupt as the Ethiopian government selling the best land to Chinese for high-density, unsustainable crop farming for export, while Ethiopians starve.]]></description>
