All land ownership is granted by the Govt anyway.

I would be opposed to this. It would stiffle investment, enterprise and employment. Sad

I didn't think the government had to get involve unless the purchase was over 230 million ??

You could buy a hell of a lot of land for that price Wink

A clarification or two. Firstly I am the antithesis of Communism. I am to the far right of Genghis Khan.

Some of you have shot from the hip. I did not say that Australian citizens could not own their land, to the contrary I am saying the exact opposite.

What I am saying is that we don't want to end up like poor bloody Fiji where it took a coup to get Fiji back for the Fijians.

What I said was, FOREIGN INTERESTS should be given leases. Keep Australia for Australia. Too many people have their heads buried right up to their bums in the sand in this country and future generations will pay a terrible price for their utter neglect of responsibility.

What I see is a great Nation going down the freaking tubes under the leadership of a true Communist JULIA GILLARD (check her background, formner secretary of the Communist Party, not a typist as she claims and still member of the Fabian Society). Frankly she couldn't oranise high tea let alone steer this country to safe waters.

If it wasn't for the mining boom we'd be up the creek and you all know what creek that one is..rhymes with 'ditters'.

there is an example to demonstrate the silliness of your position!

You talk about making it unlawful for any other country or company to own Australian land outright. Do you also have an objection to individuals or partnerships consisting of individuals, where those persons are foreign nationals, owning Australian land outright? And what about foreign nationals who live permanently in Australia? Sounds an unduly Draconian measure to me.

Has any other country with a democratically elected government enacted such legislation?

Mexico and Japan have extremly restrictive laws against foreigners owning any property whatsoever.

who'd want to buy land in mexico? you'd need your own army to protect it from the drug lords, gangs and corrupt police. and in japan, your land might be in 3 peieces tomorrow or have an oil tanker parked on it.

Funny i thought it just sounded like then standard level of debate we have in this country over the past 15 years. Slowly but surely getting further to the right.

That's really rich, I put up an argument that we should preserve Australia for Australians and suddenly I am a Nazi.

Well I'm sure you have really looked in depth at how Globalism is gouging the crap out of Countries like Australia.

We were a Country in which the Liberal Government clawed back the enormous debt that Labor had run up and put us in credit. Our Country had National Savings and a Futures Fund.

All that has gone with this bloody irresponsible Government that your own children and children's children will pay for dearly.

Look up Australia's Debt Clock and get a feel for what it is to have this bunch of bloody idiots sending this country broke....go on look it up I challenge you to!

Australia should act before it is too late and legislate to make it unlawful for any other Country or Company to own Australian land outright.

in response to which I asked:

I suppose I can consider your above post an answer, although I will have to fill in a few of the blanks myself.

I think you're being a bit oversensitive here - Nazi was only mentioned in one brief post and the poster did not say that you were a Nazi.

typical communist opposed to the mere NOTION of private ownership of everything. imagine being denied the right to own your own land!!

The way Labor is mis-managing this Country I hold the greatest fears. We had a national surplus and money in the bank when Labor took over, now we borrow hundreds of millions (not a misquote) from China each and every day.

The only damned thing this Government does well is spend bucket loads of money mainly on crap. I pity the Liberals because it will take a decade for them to pay it back once these imbeciles get turfed out at the next election. (Just the same as the Liberals inherited huge debt from Labor last time they were in power).

if you oppose private ownership of land you are a communist. end of story.

No, thats not true at all.

So far on this web site I have been accused of being a Nazi, a Communist, a Labor hater (true),.

Even on this post I have been incredibly misquoted. Please guys, if you're going to sink in the size 12, please do me the small favour of reaing my posts first.

Anyhow, just want to thank you one and all for the criticism.

Please keep it coming, serve up those Aunt Sallies and the Red Baron will swat 'em down for you.

Tell you one thing though, you want the truth then read my posts.

It might be like swallowing a billiard ball at times but I do NOT bend the truth.

And befoe someone comes up with the old chestnut, "you can't handle the truth!".

Yes...yes I can handle the truth very well indeed, my only one true skill.
