You might not say no to being offered top dollar by foreign interests on your farm but if it's not in the best interests in Australia then the government will have a say.

The same as how the ACCC will step in to stop company acquisitions to prevent monopolies.
Maybe, but I'm not too confident in the government getting it right with regards to what is in Australian interests. Remember the Darwin port lease to China. China may have banned meat from a few abattoirs in Qld and NSW, but I don't think the Chinese have stopped live cattle exports from Darwin to China!
