Chinese are buying up our farms to secure food

WATCHED Sunday Night on 7 about China ‘ investing’ in Townsville Port, a meatworks at Charters Towers, buying the Charters Towers saleyards, having Chinese ships docking at Townsville to transport the meat, 5000 Chinese permitted to work here as part of the ‘ free trade’ agreement and poor buggers forced off cattle properties by banks with foreign buyers stepping up. ‘ Investing’ means buying lock, stock and barrel.

The Chinese government has given buyers $ 3 trillion to buy food security for China.

China plays a long game; our politicians have trouble seeing past the next election.

Our government thinks this ‘ investing’ is wonderful!

China has destroyed its primary production and water quality through pollution. This money is for China’s food security; they see the future ‘ gold’ is clean water and ‘ safe’ food; the Australian politicians just see political opportunity.

The profits will go to China; we will get the crumbs.

Will the people start yelling at our government our country is ‘ not’ for sale. We will not be serfs in our own land; unless we want to remain a mob of idiots glued to the set watching ‘ reality’ TV with our hand out for government money.
