In 2014-15, DFAT and the ABS compared majority foreign owned business with Australian business and found that over 50 per cent of wholesale businesses, 40 per cent of manufacturing, 36 per cent of mining, and 25 per cent of electricity, gas, water and waste services in Australia are foreign owned. Is there any level of foreign ownership contrary to the national interest in any essential industry or service that would concern this government? If so, what percentage would that be?
