For those who concerned about here are some facts you might like to share. How will we pay off our national debt while we continue to sell our wealth creating assets, our businesses and land to foreign interests? Australian interests are locked out or with minor interests. Countries and international superannuation funds are buying our assets for for long term returns to be sent off shore. Our current tax laws favour foreign interests. BE AWARE that according to the Australian newspaper today, we will sign an FTA with China on Monday with the same deal as that signed with New Zealand. THE DIFFERENCE IS nearly 11,000 New Zealand farmers own their farms and the supply chain in a cooperative of the largest dairy company in the world Fonterra. The MD of Fonetrra here reports to Singapore. new Zealand farmers have been consistently supported by successive Governments in New Zealand OVER DECADES to look after their own long term interests. Under the NZ Waitangi Treaty governments are not allowed to divest assets there for the long term interest of the NZ citizens. Australians have no such rights. AUSBUY raised a petition about this issue in 2012 and presented over 55,000 petitions to Parliament supported by representatives across Parties- NOTHING was done!!!! Nearly 90% of our dairy brands here are foreign controlled and China is buying farms in Tasmania and more recently in Victoria. Before the Victorian election they are aiming to buy 50 dairy farms around Colac and be given a lease for the Glenormiston Agriculture college by the Victorian Government. Years ago the college was given to the State for the use of Australian dairy farmers by a Victorian farming family. A real estate agent in Tasmania has set up the deal. These assets currently represent 12% of the dairy output in Victoria which is the largest dairy producing state in Australia. Chinese workers will be accommodated in the College to work the farms. They will sell to themselves and set the price for exports by other exporters from Australia. They will potentially set the price for wages for workers. Check out the Be Informed section at ausbuy.au and see the deal we did with Korea recently. If you are concerned and make sure you email your local Federal and State members. WHY are Australian owned interests being locked out.? Surely we are better than this. other countries protect their own interests. If we do not look after home, home will not be there for us. Our people deserve better.
