selling off our resource is a disgrace ..., page-8

I would be curious to know what % of the register was/is already in the hands of foreign investors.

Sorry, foreign investment gave us a mining industry.

As to xenophobic machinations not really interested.

What does concern me is a downstream user moving into a position to influence commodity prices and/or effectively implement transfer pricing so as to minimise future Australian taxes. In addition, there is a high degree of intellectual property on how mining is done (this naturally excludes the current board members!LOL) which the Chinese Government will effectively get their hands on for nothing. Similar arguments pertain to the current RIO situation.
