The Chinese company, which recently took over Bellamy's, wants to buy Dairy Farmers, Masters and Pura and other dairy icons for $600 million.

Japanese-owned Lion plans to sell its dairy business for $600mEarlier this year, Lion sold its its cheese business to Saputo for $280m

"The full divestment of the Dairy & Drinks business will ensure it has an owner that is well-placed to grow the business over the long term, while also accelerating Lion's pivot to becoming a leading global adult drinks business," Lion chief executive Stuart Irvine said. Mengniu Dairy chief executive Jeffrey Minfang Lu said the acquisition would benefit both Lion Dairy & Drinks and Mengniu Dairy as well as providing opportunities for Australian dairy farmers and fruit growers, by opening up a significant channel to China.

Do we still own any cows in Australia

Aussie dairy icons become Chinese dairy icons and the dairy farm are managed by Chinese company. How can we still have Aussie quality dairy for us especially for babies? If they can, they no need to deliver Aussie milk to China. So, no good quality daily products in Aus any more.

What is an Australian owned dairy company I can buy from? Coles and Woolworths home brand

Outrageous & this shouldn’t be allowed! When is the invasion going to occur to take the rest of our country?

and not a shot was fired.....

KirrinaBarry 😠🤦‍♂️

They already own our sugar mills.

China is the virus taking over the economic world!!

russellcrowe Nooooo!!!

Theres a sense of despair in your headline- a reluctance to accept that the Chinese now more than just oodles of noodles. Would it be possible to rewrite and repost it? I am not Chinese though I had a chopsuey yesterday but I am offended by it acccgovau

Why is the ABC highlighting that a 'chinese' company is buying a dairy farm? Just write 'Mao Shanghai buys xxx dairy farm' and leave it at that. Or maybe write 'though they're chinese they wear trousers and speak English- not as well as we do butt...they're chinese'

russellcrowe Nooooooooooooooo

Well do not expect fresh milk from them, they brought the baby formula company, now they have brought the powdered milk production company,

The LNP 'free market' for all.

Will they train the cows to say Mao? ABC

Dairy Farmers is currently owned my Kirin, so basically owned by a Japanese company.

russellcrowe Thanks for all you do to help us all.

Shocking and stupid.... But that also sums up our pm and his mob

Nooo

The slow but sure takeover of Australian industry, Universities and politics. Call me a conspiracy crazy but looks bad to me.

How to conquer a country without a military assault. Why don't we create a government department to monitor and graph this for us. They can even have an official target for when we have lost control of our own economy. Just so there is no confusion for us.

this sale should not go ahead it is in the interest of national security that it does not and no more sales of australian companies, farms ,real estate and public assets to foreign corporations or governments such as china

Did anyone actually realised that the Chinese company is buying from a Japanese company? It hasn’t been an Australian company to start with. So it’s ok for Japan to own Australian dairy, but not Chinese. Racist much?!

Well they're for sale. What's the problem?

Nooo!

There go any humane regulations

No doubt directly connected to communist partys of china. Only a matter of time till they have propaganda ads and influence our elections constantly.

When is Australia going to start investing into itself?

russellcrowe This would be very dammageable!!! Keep it aussie!!!

This would have been a fabulous industry for Australia to develop up, jobs, resources, revenue. We could have supplied clean, green milk products to the world. This is crazy, shortsighted, foolish politics from the Australian Government to continue selling our assets offshore.

That sounds pretty cheap to me. Surely it's worth more? Where are supermarkets going to get their cheap milk when China owns all the processors? Something's wrong when a country no longer owns it's own food infrastructure.

Bugger. Another set of millionaires, another coup for cash.

Nnnnnoooo!!!!!

russellcrowe Not really good for Australia... sadly. It is the same here in Germany. The Chinese are buying everything they can get and that is a lot. Also Arabic countries. All our old and settled companies... so sad. All the money goes now to foreign countries and also the knowledge!!

russellcrowe America has sold its soul to the Chinese government and Chinese owned businesses. Australia don’t follow in our mistakes!!!

开始学习普通话 😊

Good

russellcrowe Chinese company ‘allowed to walk into a deal and buy’ dairy farmers and Aussie dairy icons ...Big uncomfortable questions need asking .

Terrible idea.

margo694 How good is China?

Buy all the dairy producers, buy all the best genetics to develop herds in China, squeeze out Australian dairy farmers. All going to the 10-year plan.

Unlike.

Nuke the nest, nuke the nest !

russellcrowe The Australian Government should be stopping this - Dairy Farmers to be Chinese? This is so disgusting

is whipping up sinophobia in Australia. It sensationalize the title knowing full well that most people don't read the entire article. What Aussie icon? The Chinese company is buying from a Japanese company.

Granville4879 Buy up all the food sources and then starve us . Brilliant!

Australian dairy farmers have been struggling for years. Add this to extreme drought and the extent of the BerejiklianBushfires, it’s now more important than ever to support local farmers and buy direct. There are options to do this in the big cities now too.

🇨🇳👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Why don’t we Sell them the Farms and Cows too. Sorry they already own enough and don’t want any more

Sooner or later we will see “proudly owned by Australians” is so precious.

Bad news for the Aussies.

russellcrowe I found milk helped with all the fire smoke🥛. Tastes nicer when its Australian owned😉.

All australian icons that built this nation where everbody woud lik ee to live has gradually been sold off to off shore companies as traitors do including partners Australia's lost its no no untrustworthy unaustraluans have pass 25 plus & still doing can Australia own overseas

It is about time we did what the HK citizens are on about..protest hard..

The one way to ensure you get all the powdered milk

Uh acccgovau helllloooooo

This is not on ffs!

If the Aussie government allows this they're corrupt and no longer serving the people of Australia! Australia

Bloody hell. So farmers will earn even less and profits will disappear overseas. 🤪🥛

Australians aren't they patriotic as they use to, imagine all those generation farmers & grandparents that fought to protect this nation now everyone wants piece of it yet if any Australians tried to purchase property in another land bucklies to non

Another one bites the dust

Of course who else

NO NO NO

Chinstarlia

We are being taken over by the Chinese. Pauline Hanson was right

Selling companies, land, mining to China. Opening the doors to a takeover. losingouridentity

Maybe Trump is right!!

I suspect they are testing every boundary in every democracy to see what they can get away with. If you don’t think Beijing is utterly determined to achieve strategic superiority in every way you’re being naive.

Does this mean our supplies will be limited ?

Yet another reason to give up dairy. Am I right senbmckenzie ?

russellcrowe Madness!!!!

russellcrowe Why don't they buy the whole country, state by state?

mailman789 Very worrying for some short term gain

A little sensationalist. Your headline should say Chinese company taking over subsidiary of Japanese company.

LelHulagirl101 In light of foreign interference allegations, all should be put on hold. We should not be selling off our primary assets to foreign companies

Oh Dear..

In the thread: free market capitalists who religiously vote for the Coalition because they think it's good for Australian business, whining about foreign companies being allowed to buy Australian businesses that wouldn't be getting sold if they were actually doing well. Amazing.

Lion is Japanese

Asians are lactose intolerant.

Funny how they take over the dairy industry yet have to send powdered milk back home

How many countries in the world allow a foreign company to control their market? This is madness that must stop...

russellcrowe I really don't think this would be a good move for Australia, no coming back from it, keep it Australian owned not by foreign countries auspol AustralianDairyFarmers 🇦🇺🦘

The people who sold these businesses will retire happily I'm sure.

russellcrowe Another unmitigated disaster.

russellcrowe Australia are slaves to China...great work lol

Why not they are planning on taking over parliament soon!

russellcrowe What?! What's next?

russellcrowe 😮...

Noooooooooo

Disgusting, selling everything to the Chinese. I for one won't buy these brands.

I think it is time to buy a cow!

russellcrowe sick. Australian voted for this selling your country just like Donald trump selling the United States to line his own pockets at least we getting him impeached.

russellcrowe 😡😡😡

russellcrowe Welcome to the new world order... 🙄😣

russellcrowe This would be a damned disaster. Australia will be soon be owned by the Chinese.

russellcrowe Goodness me.what's the Government done about this.nothing I bet.shameful

Australian Dairies should remain in Australian hands!!

russellcrowe This doesn’t sound really like a good thing.

russellcrowe Of course! They taking over the world.

Are we really stupid enough to let this happen. This is an INVASION. Instead of buying weapons and troops they use the money to take our goods and services directly. The end is the same. That is the point of invasions

bruuceyyy osu1980

The anti China rhetoric is getting a bit much.

This is so wrong.

Does that mean the carbon emissions now become China's problem? Ofcourse not. They build more coal fired power stations and we get blamed for giving it to them.

Drink soy everyone!

OMFG

tyrelle123 Govts care factor -10

Wasnt it already foreign owned?

Uh what?!?

Just sell Australia already

NoMoreElitists bouta_nt FYI

😱😢

Ahh so we will now get a 3rd rate product while China takes the cream. You know all those infant feeding mixtures they can’t get enough of Well here you go, now they just buy the whole company.

broomstick33 Why bother infiltrating LiberalAus when you can just buy the country?

People having a moan about overseas companies and China -- 'Japanese brewer Kirin Holdings has agreed to buy Australian dairy producer Dairy Farmers for $910 million - August 25, 2008 - SMH'

So, we can look forward to melamine contaminated milk now.

Japanese corps r buying our brewery Chinese r buying our dairies Bellamy n Dairy Farmers They also bought wineries We r so poor we need to sell d farms n biz to foreign buyers We r poor like PNG

Spy’s in my porridge

Ouch this hurts me right in the China boycott :’(

China is now saving our dairy industry..

Their takeover is progressing nicely. Thanks for looking after Australia's interests Abbott, Turnbull, Morrison.☹

Aussie superannuation companies should be buying these iconic businesses

When we lose control of our breadbaskets, resources , it will then be too late

This countrys pretty much fucked beyond repair thanks boomers

Thanks must surely go to Coles & Woolies for their $1 a litre price war which has destroyed our dairy industry!

That's ok, they can take in all the health problems that come with consuming dairy. Just watch all the Western illnesses explode in China.

Disgraceful.

ScottMorrisonMP you’ve done this. You’ve destroyed our country.

Yum, melamine is great for 🦴 🦷 and testing

Where are our aussie based supe funds why are they not buying these

Oh great, get ready Australia, you’re going to love your tainted Milk!
