And that and the Philippines is also where a lot of food the looters are grabbing, is going.

You cannot depend on the ACCCto do anything about is as they have been proven by several Senate enquires and Royal Commissions to be asleep at the wheel not withstanding they were never set up to be effective.

It is actually not illegal to export food. The only hope we have of exposing this on a larger scale is to ask for a please explain from your Federal member & Senators like Pauline Hanson & the Shooters & Fishers.

This is Politics but it is conduct threatening our lives. Is it lunacy, or deliberate like the boats which NSW is now paying a high price for.

We need another Alan Felds (I think that's how his name is spelled) in charge of the ACCC.
When he was running it they had some teeth.

I would disagree with that; it was an illusion set up as a "Paper Tiger". I think every thing he has touched since, like the taxi industry, ended up in the poo & lively hoods were ruined. Sorry but totally unimpressed with him.

One of two people where I cannot understand how they got to be Professors.

I can understand - the professor that made him a professor, they all think the same way. You can get any qualification you want by telling the master what they want to hear.

I noticed that the Feds want to examine all foreign company takeovers, after the Chinese snapped up medical companies and moved all the stock to China. But will this change to the procedures actually change anything?

The abc news a few minutes tells us the Government & bureaucracy is going to look at the small size of our industry & our dependence on others. Hello that's what the UN wanted to happen. However, let us realise that its April Fools day and its yet another Oxymoron.

In the 1970s, we apparently signed a treaty with the UN to basically sell out our secondary industries to the third world in a fire sale. I don't know when this supposedly happened or which government initiated it (although I do have suspicions) but if it happened then it is one of the most un-Australian things that any government has ever done in this country.

If such a treaty survives we should press the abort button immediately.

The sale of Darwin Harbour went unnoticed. So it is not surprising that the sale of medical supplies in a time of impending crisis went unnoticed, given the occurring bush fire crisis.

Most supplies probably came from China in the first place, so they would have known where and who to go to to buy them back.

It wasn't a sale, just a crown lease. That's why it went under the radar - because crown leases can be cancelled at any time for any reason or without a reason.
