During a discussion about the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership).

AJ listed the amount of agricultural land that had been bought up by Chinese investors.

That's when Robb called AJ a racist lol.

Oh yes. I don't think it was the "racist" tag that shocked him so much as the fact that Robb, whom he'd given a glowing intro to, had pulled that card.

It all got quite heated lol.

Well, I listened ......wrote notes and figures down...

705,000 hectares (up north bought by ?)

639,000 acres WA(?)

Macquarie Rural Fund $750m;

$100 million spend on 250,000 hectares around Bourke;

$3 trillion;

Jones mentions a purchase of 49% of 68 farms in Vic by Chinese -

Robb claims Jones gives(?) rascist view

***mumbles by both***

Robb says the Chinese deal fell through and in fact it was 76(?) farms bought by some other entity....

CFMEU - Bikie association;

Something about Alan Kohler talk of 2013.....

***That's all we've time for now. Thank you Andrew Robb. (something something something). Thanks Alan**

...............

The whole thing was a waste of time.....except that word popped up.

As my mum used to say, don't constantly utter improper words in private, that you don't want the public to hear.

Because those naughty words will pop out of that mouth quicker than a sneeze in a pepper pot at the worst time.

Well I don't know much about A Robb, but...his comment "Australia has depended on foreign investment for the last 200 years"...

Fine. But we don't want them to own us.
