Something that used to be only discussed at the blog, and by Marcobusiness.com.au, now is getting exposure in the mainstream media. Wealthy Chinese are flying in and buying up posh Australian real estate, right across the country, but especially in Melbourne. The story is below.
For most of us, that probably is not as significant as the lower-level buy ups of property that ordinary Australians are competing for, but it does show an attitude. Australia has been led by its elites, both Labor and Liberal, into the “sell off” the farm attitude, lacking national pride and any sense of identity, being deracinated to oblivion. These sorts of land buy ups do not occur in much of South East Asia, and one would certainly not be able to do this in communist China. Yet, it is part of what remains of Australian culture, and is a form of cultural and national suicide.
