My question is to the Prime Minister. The Van Diemen's Land Company, started in 1824, is the largest dairy asset in Australia. It is owned by New Zealanders and it is up for sale. The owners accepted a bid by a majority Australian consortium committed to producing premium branded dairy products, but that consortium been gazumped by a Chinese bulk commodity enterprise. Prime Minister, will you intervene to ensure this iconic and economically strategic holding is returned to Australian ownership?
