This is absolutely deplorable! Keswick Island in the Whitsundays is now under control of the Chinese. They have been able to buy a 99 year lease from the former lessee which still has 80 years to run. Even worse than that, they're making it impossible for the residents who have been living there happily to continue under the same sub-lessee rules. The Chinks want them out and they want to have the island solely for wealthy Chinese tourists to visit without those pesky Aussies in the way. Although 80% of the island is national park which is owned and controlled by the Qld govt, China Bloom the new lessee, is building illegal roads in the national park. Yet the Palestine govt has done nothing to stop them. And hasn't helped the current residents in any way in this dispute. What a disgrace this Qld state labor govt is!

The real question is can they pronounce Keswick properly?

rich Chinese? They're exploiters of poor workers. Qld labor should be sacked immediately.. Hanson warned of the invasion, 1 or 2 category 5 cyclones should sort out the Chinese.

Sky news version...and something more balanced..https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9183667/Row-Chinese-ownership-Keswick-Island-Whitsundays-Queensland.html....resdients are divided on the issue...yet no conflicted outrage over LNP bushfire fund rorts... Labor has always done more for NP and the environment that the self serving coal licking LNP who do there darn best to removed EPA laws.

Hitting your funny bone isn't funny...and speedy recovery Cas.
Funny how the RW will get outrage over media muck raking and hubris because of Chinese invstors, while ignoring LNP rort's with leniency, and such environmental things as cutting staff to State forest and in conservative Nationals seats deep opposition to the creation of a Great Koala National Park.
But hey they will promise to build coal fired power stations...which will not happen as banks will not loan and insurance companies will not insurance....and then the LNP wants to hold an expensive inquiry into why banks will not loan and insurance companies will not insure...they are either dumb or think they can hood wink the people into thinking they tried their best to construct coal power.
Showing the RW are the most easily manipulated people.

Exploiters - absolutely! When you have a population of 1.6 billion, you've got a hell of a lot of poor people to exploit. It's alright for the employers who become multi millionaires and billionaires off the backs of these poor workers. But when they start eyeing off what we have down here - and elsewhere around the globe, and then have the cash and the Beijing-backed clout to just come in and take it all, it's time we started standing up for ourselves because our idiot politicians are just standing back in most cases and allowing it to happen. And when it entails buying up our land and our resources, especially our food resources, we need to draw a line in the sand. Enough is enough. So I agree, Palaszczuk should be kicked out of office.

I hope you are able to get over this without too much pain - I can imagine it's severe at times. Take it easy and rest and look after yourself ... but keep typing if you can because you've been missed.

Now look, I'm all for environmental sustainability. I don't vote for Nationals or Liberals. I vote for the Sustainable Australia Party! How many times must I tell you this! But Libs and Labor are all the same when it comes to immigration. Worse, Labor and Greens would have every refugee from every third world shithole pouring into the country in their multi millions if they had their way - not because they give a flying f*** about these people but because they see them all as future Labor/Greens voters!
Politicians only live for the moment. They don't care what happens further down the track. They don't care about animal habitats because their only concern is about packing as many immigrants into the available space we have. And whilst we have a lot of space - no one, esp these new immigrants want to live there. Because it's mainly 4/5ths desert. No, they want to live in Sydney and Melbourne - and I'm saying Sydney is full up - a concrete jungle in which none of us will want to live. As it is parts of Sydney more resemble Mumbai or Shanghai or downtown Beirut rather than Sydney. We're fast losing our own identity and that might be ok with you Ponto but it's not okay with the majority. And that's why they vote Liberal because they see them as the lesser of two evils.

Once a conservative always a conservative..the "centrist..??" sustainable Australia mob are something spawned from the conservative branch of politics with definite links to the LNP. Where the give their preferences to is a good indication that they are just a political front to capture disenfranchised LNP voters who cannot bring themselves to vote for socialist Labor who have the far better environmental and climate change polices....the LNP had frothing at the mouth frenzies of a electric car policy Labor took the last election....while ScoMo was waving lumps of (sealed) coal around.
Also your
is direct conservative speech....not factual merely based on RW hysteria propaganda, shall I remind you that it was the LNP that gave us record immigration levels and it was Labor that introduced mandatory detention for refugees that were arriving in the thousands not millions, ScoMo stopped the boats and just let em fly in by the millions.

That's one bonus from the pandemic ... no more fly-in visa overstayers. Now there's an interesting field of historical research: the number of native-born Anglo true blue "Aussies" (y'know, the whole Anzac thing, Gallipoli, snags on the barbie, AFL/ARL, nativist prejudices, touch of xenophobia ... that sorta thing) who have a forebear or two who jumped ship during the gold rushes and basically spent the rest of his life here as an illegal immigrant. Like Henry Lawson's old man.

Go to America, Matt. They like conspiracy theorists, white supremacist xenophobes, purveyors of Yellow Peril hysteria and American exceptionalism, and gun-toting Christian fundamentalist sectarians. A bit passé now that Trump has been defeated and Biden is President? Not a bit of it! You’ll find millions of armed to the teeth QAnon fanatics ready to kill anyone who isn’t a Trump luvvie. You’re wasted here ...

Just curious, Pim. Were you ever bullied as a kid? Called a wog? Cause you sure have an ingrained loathing of anyone who "isn't ashamed to be an Australian." And it's not too hard to guess who your heroes are.

Sorry to hear that. But at least you don't have to go through the added pain of an operation. What arm was it? You might have to try one finger typing. Difficult I know. On the other hand, take a complete rest.
