I just can't see how any idiot could even imagine that selling Australia's most important agricltural land to miners & the Chinese is a good idea. The damage Labor are doing is becoming irreversible. Both short term & long term, not owning the land is a disaster that is permanent. I'm very pleased with Mr Joyce for kicking up a rumpus. Good one mate. You get em.

More than 50 Australia-bound country-shoppers from Sri Lanka have refused to leave their boat after it was found stranded off Indonesia's Sumatra island a week ago. Sikakap district police chief Surya Negara said on Friday the boat holding 53 people, including three children and four women, was found drifting near small Mentawai island off Sumatra on September 1 after it ran out of fuel.
"They refused to get off the boat, saying that they want to continue their journey to Christmas Island (Australia). They want 2000 litres of fuel to sail back to sea," Negara told AFP. In a letter to a local immigration office, the country-shoppers threatened to go on hunger strike, saying "we will not eat until we die", according to the message seen by an AFP correspondent. Negara said local authorities have been in touch with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), but as the island was so remote, it takes time to reach the location. Australia is facing a steady influx of country-shoppers arriving by boat, many of whom run into trouble on rickety vessels in Indonesian waters after leaving their home countries. Indonesia has long been a transit lounge for illegal migration to Australia. Hundreds of boatpeople have died en route this year...JULIAR Friday 7 September, 2012 - 9:26 PM -
Labor are happy with this new stake they have put into the heart of Australia.

Why do we have to be so compliant to every overseas demand made on us? If our relationship with China was genuine then they should respect our decision to keep our farms locally owned.
Ian Bell Thursday 6 September, 2012 - 3:49 PM -
To sell the farm is an act of arrogance. and reckless indifference to our security,food production and land protection.Their egoes have literally possessed their minds .

Somebody please pinch me, are we still living in Australia? Evidently Barnaby Joyce is the only honest straight shooting Aussie left in politics. Goodness look what will happen to Australia's future generations? Repulsive traitorous Labor are ruining Australia's easy going character. Godless, atheist liars, Labor are rapidly killing the country.
