Northern Minerals, a Perth-based heavy rare earths developer, faces potential nationalisation by the Australian government.  Resources Minister Madeleine King confirmed this option on October 14, 2026, after China-linked investors defied federal orders to divest their shares.

The precedent has been set and the far right have been silent about nationalising.



Australia imports the vast majority of its fertiliser, with domestic production declining sharply to just 15% of total consumption in 2024.  The country relies heavily on global supply chains, with 62% to 69% of its urea and nitrogen fertiliser imports originating from the Middle East (specifically Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar).

Those imports are now gone.

It's time to focus our agriculture sector so mass starvation doesn't engulf Australians.

We all know capitalism is about creating shortages so to maximise profits.

This is not the time to grow cotton or grow as much meat and sugar cane, while ignoring the food basics of life. The small amount of fertiliser we have must be directed only to feeding this country. Once that is achieved, then the excess is stored or exported.

Comrades, this can only be achieved through nationalising our agriculture sector.
