Hassad Foods, a Qatar company owns property in Queensland. The farm is larger than Qatar
They also purchase other agricultural properties in Victoria and S.A.
Singapore purchased 45% of the almond orchards and water rights in Victoria
Korean investors have purchased several large farms in NSW
Brazil has been buying feedlots in SE Australia.
China purchased about 10 large vineyards in NSW
45 million hectares of farmland (twice the size of Victoria) is foreign owned.
I don't like it either. BUT the land belonged to the farmer and he can sell it to whoever he wants.
The government has no right to tell anyone who they sell their land to.
