The islands are still subject to Australian law, they remain territorially part of Australia. The Chinese can't hook up some boats and sail them back to China. It is just an investment. They put money into Australia's economy, exactly as the the British, the Americans and the Japanese have done in the past. They expect some return for their investment. They don't want to stop people visiting their destinations. You are selling things to the chinaman that they would never ever sell to you simply because you have nothing else of value to sell to them !! Their money is the same colour and shape as everybody else's money. Tsk, tsk. Try buying the same things from them with the same color money and see how far you get  Only losers sell off the farm tsk tsk Funny, you remain silent on the UK/US/Japan buying Australian "farms". Is it because their money is coloured the right colour or has the right shaped eyes? They simply are not as dangerous to stability in this region - a far bigger picture - though I agree with your basic picture that leasing only should be the norm, and foreign ownership should be banned. Well in the case of Keswick Island which were discussing in detail, they only hold a lease on the land on the Island yet according to the Xenophobes, we have sold them the rights to the land.  13% is a marginal amount of land - owned by a combination of Chinese, UK, Dutch, American and Canadian companies and individuals. Yet we hear nothing about the UK/Dutch/American/Canadian companies or individuals - why? Is it because people here fear the "Yellow Peril"? Oh, dearie, dearie, me. Tsk, tsk, who'd have thunk it? The head lessee is China Bloom, a 99yr lease it may as well have been a 1000yr lease,, and try getting it back then! 87% of the island is national park which the Chinks have blocked off. Locals have to upgrade their properties to Chink standards or leave. The air strip and moorings were and probably still are shut down. ETC. They want AUSSIES OUT Bloody hilarious how the premiers of the islands in WA and QLD knew NOTHING about these selloffs to the Chinaman. Where is FIRB on all of this. Already investigated and OK the investment. How about we have an FIRB investigation into all the UK/US/Dutch/Japanese investments? Afterall, they are foreigners, aren't they? China Bloom has the lease.
