Where is your evidence which supports this.........Your post........
About 35% of the country - possibly more, is foreign owned.
More sheer bullshit from you?

As an aside... how much is owned by Aborigines?
Land one needs Aboriginal permission to enter.
That being the case should we consider them Australian?
Or is it just a matter of the laws of trespass?
mantra I think one of the major parties were going to do an audit so we'd know exactly who owns what and how much etc.

I've explained that I heard this information and from a reasonable source, but seeing as no-one knows for certain - you will have to prove me wrong Aussie.

It's impossible for you to contribute to a Political thread. You just stalk and disrupt the threads with irrelevant and unreasonable rubbish.

Yes - it was either Swan or Rudd who claimed that they would keep tabs on how much is being sold. So far - zilch. The Coalition didn't even bother pretending they cared when they were in government and although the land grab then wasn't quite as rapid - it was escalating very quickly.

I am wondering about the TREE? Did the Council pay for it's removal?

Produce/name the source for your information. You made it quite specific.....35%.

Are you saying you just made it up...................as you usually do?

I think it is about 7% foreign owned.

CSG is a much more urgent problem.

Mantra is just confirming she is a racist.

And you think I'm lying because I heard that it was about 35%. You and Aussie are as stupid as each other. I suppose you're including the desert in this figure. We're talking about prime agricultural land. That would also include mining companies who are buying up properties.

This was at the beginning of the year - for NSW only.

FOREIGN countries are "secretly" buying up large chunks of NSW farmland by establishing shelf companies, trust funds, and extended settlements to avoid scrutiny.

More than 800,000ha of prime and fertile land, from Moree in the north to Deniliquin in the south, is foreign owned, with Korea's Ho Myoung Farm company the largest stakeholder with 500,000ha.

According to the latest figures from PRDnationwide Research, Korea's investment has almost doubled in the past six months, while Switzerland ranks third with 74,448ha of crop and livestock properties scattered throughout NSW.

In a special investigation, The Sunday Telegraph reveals that overseas ownership was likely to be much greater but "complex business structures were hiding the true picture".
