My question is to the Treasurer. A single US private company owned by a US church was able to purchase almost $500 million of Australian prime agricultural land in around six months without the requirement of oversight from the Treasurer or the Foreign Investment Review Board. Will the Treasurer commit to review the thresholds put into effect 20 years ago to give farming families an opportunity to compete in buying Australian farms?
