Stop the Asian Invasion: Chinese Takeover of Australia - Politicians 4 Sale

[Rev.Cambeul]

Abos hate White Australia so much that every opportunity they get they will GIVE the country away to foreign muds. Making some money out of it is only an extra bonus. The same goes on the US all the time: Muds support what would otherwise be rival muds because they will do anything to get one over Whitey.

The Racial Holy War cannot come soon enough for me. I'd dearly love to shoot and kill another mud.

AUSTRALIAN Defence Forces were consulted over the Giles Government's 99-year lease of the Darwin Port to a Chinese-owned company, Chief Minister Adam Giles said yesterday.

The $506 million deal was also reviewed by the Foreign Investment Review Board despite it not having to be and that the Australian Defence had expressed approval of the deal before it was finalised, Mr Giles said.

"Having said that, we still did go and ask the question and get the assessment done (with FIRB)," he said.

"We also went and had a chat with Defence about whether or not there were defence implications there.

"We got the tick-off from Defence and we're quite happy that we met any of those concerns that people may or may not have had."


But Mr Giles did not say whether his Government discussed the deal with US Marines who have called the Darwin Port "vitally important" on their website.

The US Navy carries out numerous multinational military exercises and hosts foreign warships every year in Darwin. Australia and the US recently agreed to work together to enhance naval cooperation as tensions grow in the South China Sea.

Australian Defence Forces did not respond to questions by deadline yesterday. But a Federal Government official has indicated that Defence secured a 15-year access agreement to the port before the lease was signed and will also develop an alternative barge in Darwin.

Landbridge spokesman Mike Hughes said on Tuesday the company would set the port up to "put Darwin on the map in China for Chinese companies".



Yes! Smart Work Mr Giles, you dumb Abo! Just giving our port away to the enemy at a cheap lease when our own people need it to defend against them . He thinks it'll bring jobs? Probably only for Chinks doing cheap labour on a free trade deal.

DIRECT air links between China and the Top End are being discussed in the wake of the $506 million Darwin Port sale, the NT News can reveal.


Both Chief Minister Adam Giles and Mike Hughes, the Australian head of the Port's new owner, Landbridge Group, are confident flights could begin in the near future.

The most likely link is to major cities Guangzhou or Shanghai, rather than Shandong Provence, which lies further north and is where Landbridge bases the majority of its business interests.

Mr Giles said flights would be a byproduct of the Port deal and would have flow-on benefits to the tourism sector.

"(To support direct flights) you need to get people up the front of the plane in business class, you need people up the back of the plane and you need trade happening underneath," Mr Giles said.


Landbridge says the Port deal will create interest in the NT and Darwin in China. The company has ties to China Southern Airlines, headquartered in Guangzhou, but Mr Hughes said they would not necessarily operate any service. Regardless, he said the demand was there.

Mr Hughes told the NT News the Port was a "gateway" investment that would complement the company's diverse business interests, which include onshore gas, tourism, real estate, petrochemicals, forestry and manufacturing.

"That's definitely the way we're looking at it (in Darwin)," Mr Hughes said. "The Port is the gateway. The Port facilitates what happens (in terms of growing trade between Australia and Asia).


Oh! what a fantastic idea?! Just give it all away and let the human insect race nick all the pollen (money) to take back to their hive in China.

THE world's most powerful person, US President Barack Obama has asked Australia to keep the United States in the loop from now on following dismay over the CLP Government's decision to lease the Port of Darwin to a Chinese company for 99 years. 
 
The Australian Financial Review newspaper reports Mr Obama and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull discussed the issue during a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of this week's APEC Summit in Manila.

The AFR reported there was consternation in Washington about the US not being consulted about the decision to allow a Chinese company with alleged links to the People's Liberation Army to lease the Port of Darwin.

Mr Obama told Mr Turnbull the US found out about the deal by reading it in the New York Times. Mr Turnbull joked that the President needed to subscribe to the colourful tabloid, The NT News.

During the 90-minute meeting between the leaders in Manila, Mr Obama said he understood Australia's relationship with China and its role in the region but, according to sources, said Washington should have been given a "heads up about these sorts of things".

THE management of an 80-year-old Hindmarsh family business that announced its closure this morning, costing 54 jobs, has lashed out at the recent spate of free trade agreements that it says has made its future unviable.


Family owned business Industrial Engineers and Spring Makers will cease operations on March 24, with all 54 employees — the majority of whom are older than 50 — to be made redundant.

The company makes springs for cars, trucks, trailers and industrial applications, along with other allied products. However, management said the demise of the local automotive industry was not the driving factor of its predicament.

Instead, senior manager Chris Coxon, whose grandfather Jack Marsh founded the company in 1935, laid blame on the increasing number of free trade agreements, which he says has created a uneven playing field.

In recent years, former trade minister (now trade envoy) Andrew Robb has overseen the signing of a number of agreements, with partner countries including China, Japan and Korea.

"To us it boils down to a policy issue, presumably in the name of free trade, which in turn assumes that free and open trade weeds out businesses that are inefficient," Mr Coxon said.

"While true at a broad macro level, it can be utter nonsense at the micro community level, particularly when copies of our products are not made under the same conditions and regulatory environment."

Mr Coxon said the writing was on the wall when major client Kenworth Trucks switched to an overseas supplier last year.


"Our issue is with the Chinese copying our products," he said.





"They produce a lower quality good and charge, say, 20 per cent less for it, which, in this economic climate, sees around 80 per cent of people select that good.

"We make a better quality product but can't compete on price."

Managing director Tim Marsh said all of the company's suppliers will be paid in full, on top of more than $1 million in redundancy payments and other entitlements.

"We want to do the right thing by everyone — nobody will miss out," he said.

Kidman, which has cattle stations covering 101,000 square kilometres in the Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia produces grass-fed beef for export to Japan, the USA and Southeast Asia.

Kidman's two stations in the NT are Helen Springs and Brunchilly near Tennant Creek.

It owns 160,000 cattle on leasehold land run as 17 properties.

Under the plan, it will sell 80 per cent of the cattle company to China's Dakang Australia Holdings and the rest to locally listed Australian Rural Capital.

The deal will be subject to approval by the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB).
