What if the buyers are not lining up?

You cant, for the most part, say you can not sell assets to particular people. If the are Gov/Commonwealth owned then that is different, but not private.
Sure you can - we don't have a completely free market, its regulated, same with how the ACCC will intervene when business start consolidating a market which reduces competition.

If buyers aren't line up I guess no one wants your farm, or you'll sell it for what locals are prepared to pay if you want to get rid of it.
