In late 2015 the northern territory of australia

Leased it's port to the Chinese government for 99 years. I only became aware of this today because the federal goverernment has ordered a review of foreign investment over 250 million. Barack Obama is unhappy with the deal. So am I. Yet these deals are conjured by jilted politicians voted out democratically. China is on a global expansion, yet all our short term pollies are interested in is $. These deals are hidden by commercial media. It is dangerous because they ate doing this in many countries in this region. We will not be Australia in 99 years. Nor will new Zealand. Learned well from the us haven't they.

if it's just running a port, so what? but then they'll invade and you'll be speaking Mandarin soon.....enough yellow people in Aus already!!

distressing news for a Sunday am wake up v
never knew that either v,how disguting,no need for it,stupid politicians
well the USA Military presence in the NT
is not going to have its own way,my initial thought
i initially prayed
'USA will save us' but dont really care now,dont want there military presence here/nor the poms actually, but they may reluctantly come down,for old times sake,a big maybe that is, ala Falklands , Aussies are most welcome tho ha true

Barack Obama is unhappy with the deal. So am I. Yet these deals are conjured by jilted politicians voted out democratically.

dont give a shit re Obamas thoughts on it, but sorry for you /myself even,and all Aussies v, cant quite believe its happened, maybe the Aborigines can jump up and down and it will get reversed,but like NZs Maori, its only effective if the indigenous own the land
govt cant touch it the scheming/conniving devils

regarding us, NZs govt has allowed China to set up and buy land outright, prime dairy cattle land, just down the road from me,owned by China now, who have built a dairy factory, owned gy China, and will be in direct cmpetition to FONTERRA, once one of the worlds biggest dairy manufacturers, 100pc NZ owned

These deals are hidden by comme
rcial media. It is dangerous because they ate doing this in many countries in this region. We will not be Australia in 99 years. Nor will new Zealand. Learned well from the us haven't they.

are you saying Abbott or a previous PM
surely many x PMs like Hawke Howard Keating etc, knew about it, could have alerted the meedia, and Aussies are much better at protesting effectively than us ..


....enough yellow people in Aus already!!

thats stupid dl

A similar deal as proposed in the US by the government of Dubai and the port of Baltimore. It was killed after public outcry. In a larger sense I would not worry about land or property purchases in general. It is not like they can take the land and go home. I would have the same concerns however, about any foreign government controlling ports, airports and other things like that. I'm not a big fan of privatizing any of that stuff - to anyone. It seems like a function best left to governments.

would have to disagree on that last sentence
best left to Gowernments ko

no i dont think so, i think important matters such as the land of any country, should be referendum-ized, the UK seems to be doing that often, take it to the people of the day
remember govts get elected in, but 2 or 3 years later those same persons who elected them in may have had a major change about what they have done

as for the NT
China having a lease on land/thank god it was not permitted to buy/own it outright, like dumbarse NZ has done
the US has increased its militry presence in Australias NT, quite significantly recently
apparently it sent a few of its new bombers there a few weeks ago,likely carve out a part of thhe Airport unntil it gets around to building its own, maybe?
like everywhere else, it will more than likely create a major port as its base in the NT, not good, but probably worked out in advance by the govts, likely without the peoples knowledge,again

like many other places in the World where there is US presence, one can gaurantee they will build/carve out a little/big niche for there military in particular, thinking of your next president, likely it will be his/her priority for such, in the nme of
''protecting the Pacific'

like if trump got in and built that wall he talks about,totally unrealistic surely, just maniacal ravings, and now he is going to be stubborn enough to do it, just because he made the original statement,adding the Mexicans will pay for it
who the fuck is he to say that shit
easy way out for him when they refuse, of course

must say i dont have as much confidence in our/any govts dubious behaviours

always/often at least, ulterior motives involved
greed/lust for power, money involved, not to my liking any of it
hence my dislike/non trust for govts

maybe this is why China brought land in NT
market this culinary delight, great creative cooks ..

Not the topic I thought it was going to be. When I saw the title I, as any rational person would, immediately thought it would be...

In late 2015, the northern territory of Australia was over run by Koala Bears. They road in on their sturdy mounts, the mighty Kangaroo. Protected within the bullet proof pouch of their mounts, they set upon the area firing rockets and laser from shoulder mounted turrets fitted to their steeds. The populous was easily over run as they could not establish a defense due to the inability to stop laughing at the sight of the invading army.

Alas, I digress. I suppose the Chinese leashing a port is concerning as well...

Yeah, I don't get it. Here is a Singapore multi millionare who is going to use it for a private retreat, yet no one else sees potential........ Looks perfect for a Chinese submarine base to me Don't tell the Aussie government though, they just signed a $50 billion dollar contract with France for submarines, built here, which won't be ready for 15 years, to protect wealthy Singapore businessmen.. By the time they are finished, with cost blowouts, about 200 billion.
