@Abram; US ownership of Australia's largest publicly listed companies has been apparent for decades. It has only ever been challenged by Gough Whitlam's government - one that was promptly removed by our British Queen upon the advice of her GG John Kerr and after Marshall Green was appointed US Ambassador - all after Whitlam coaxed China out of its isolation.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_GreenWhat's less well known throughout Australia is how companies like News Corp, Glencore, Chevron, Apple, Facebook, Amazon etc [ie large US companies] earn $Countless $Billions in Australia but pay almost $NO $Tax to the ATO on those earnings. Indeed, after Tony Abbott became PM and slashed and burnt the ATO it even abandoned pursuit of $882 million from News Corp.
As if that's not enough, the US sold John Howard's government dud Sea King choppers and Tony Abbott bought an extra 54 F-35 fighter planes that are already obsolete and sometimes even explode when taking off - without any warranty cover for a plane costing $250 million each!
Now find those ASX listed companies in which Chinese investors have ownership approaching that of US investors - I wonder why David Speers never asks that sort of question of any of those Liberal Party MPs he invites onto Insiders.
