Treasurer, the biggest farm in Australia, Van Diemen's Land Company's dairies, is owned by China; the second biggest, Cubbie, is owned by China. The biggest grain farm, Nicoletti, is owned by China. The biggest farming aggregation, Kidman's, is controlled by China. The biggest of all, Ord stage 2 and 3, is owned by China. Australia's most strategic port, Darwin, is owned by China. The taxi-hire industry, Uber, is foreign owned. Car manufacturing, glass, textiles, petrol and whitegoods have all gone overseas. To us Australians, free trade means jobs exported and cheap labour imported. Treasurer, do we have a new regime that won't continue to sell off Australia, or is it business as usual: Australia for sale?
