Agree

No, only allow leases

Allowing leases rather than outright sales can be seen as a compromise that aligns with the Liberal Party's interest in both encouraging foreign investment and protecting national interests. This approach allows for economic benefits while maintaining Australian control over key assets.

Agree

No, we should protect the jobs of our farmers

Protecting Australian jobs, including those in the agricultural sector, aligns with the Liberal Party's broader economic goals. However, the party's support for free market principles means they might not fully oppose foreign investment if it is seen as beneficial to the economy overall.
