Speaker: The Voyage: On Interpreting and…, in reply to Mr Magoo,
Give me land, lots of land...
NZers cannot buy land in China and so why are some so confident that we should just let China buy ours and not land use rights only?
To be fair the Government seems to have set up some sort of co-management covenant on this land:
The Chinese-backed buyer, Milk NZ, was set up by Shanghai Pengxin to operate the farms under the management of state-owned Landcorp.
...
NZ Milk, funded by its parent company, will acquire the farms and fund their management and development. A joint venture company owned 50/50 by NZ Milk and Landcorp will develop and manage the properties.
Landcorp will also manage the disposal and acquisition of properties for the portfolio, and undertake capital expenditure on behalf of NZ Milk.from NBR

After the active ingredient in most birth control pills has done its duty preventing pregnancy, it begins a second life as a pollutant that can harm wildlife in waterways.
Not only is ethinyl estradiol quite potent — creating "intersex" fish and amphibians — but it is very difficult to remove from wastewater, which carries it into natural waterways. -
