Foreign ownership of Australian land, water, and housing keeps rising — but where’s the media scrutiny? Concerns are too often dismissed as “racist” to silence debate. It’s time we had real transparency in foreign investment. Who really benefits, and is our sovereignty being sold off?

@ApaulD Why do people believe gas is the backbone of WA’s economy when 90% of it is exported by a few mostly foreign-owned corporations? These companies get most of the gas royalty-free, contribute less than 2% to the state’s budget, pay minimal taxes (if any), and still receive huge taxpayer subsidies.

Corporations are sociopaths and the bigger the corporation, the greater the sociopathy will be. They can’t help themselves—they are designed to be this way.

Just for fun, let's all try to think of even one multinational corporation that has turned the corner to embrace environmental or humanitarian causes unreservedly.

I’ll boost every example put forward without comment or judgement & leave it to others to weigh in…
