          <by role="member" id="3128">The Hon. A. BRESSINGTON (14:57): </by> I have a supplementary, sir. Given the minister's answer—and not a definite answer, because we are not talking foreign investment but foreign ownership that is the concern—can the minister confirm or deny that these properties, vineyards and primary production areas are not going to be sold off to the Chinese government, given the concern that foreign ownership by China means the Chinese government owns sovereign land in this state and in this country?</text>
