Yup. Say hello to our new Chinese overlords. 

An agriculture nation, which never manufactured, even not their daily working equipment for years - and the “sale out” of land and modern slavery just begun.
Mr. Key when are you going to stop our unbalanced economy causing a massive, unhealthy Real Estate industry. When are you going to stop our greedy and megalomaniac (dairy) farming industry, which constantly runs into trouble on many fronts ?
When are you going to stop the current trend, pursuing “Uneconomic Growth” ?
I advise our Prime Minister and the government to do following to avoid more slavery in our country:
Mr. Key it would be far better to travel here in New Zealand visiting producers/ manufacturers talking and create better conditions for Kiwi companies/ exporters.
It would be far better having an economic strategy, placing orders for our infrastructures needs here in New Zealand.
This would create skilled and better paid jobs here in New Zealand. This would bring the skilful and experienced Kiwis back home to set up new businesses and to work in interesting jobs. This would make us less depended from foreign capital/ skill and knowledge. This would increase our national safety/ security. This would help exporters to compete better on international markets. This would increase interaction with other industry sectors science/ education etc. This would lift our profile, working for the next generation, so we can afford an average life standard in a safe environment.

Mr Key you are the wrong person to complain in saying - quote: Prime Minister John Key says he doesn't want New Zealanders to become tenants in their own country as foreign companies seek……….
The former government created that sh.it and you still do.
Prime Minister it is up to you and your government to create conditions, so we are in charge of our own economic, environmental and social destiny - do it !
WK

exactly and they do not want to run these farms through spring or else they will be in court

The Govt had no business buying farms in the first place, it was just policially expediant. I agree with Boris the wise frog that they it is more likely to sold to a number of different entities. This is a really pivotal moment for our economy which path will we choose?

So the offer from Wang has gone twang...number 8 never does that...just that nasty HT stuff.

Re Boris the frogs statement

Korda Mentha have a lot of work to do to work out what the best deal for the clients (the banks) is, but it will come down to speed to settlement, shape of each deal (reps and warranties) and financial health of the preferred bidders...

Most people with a calculator could do their job Those shiny arsed are just as bad as the banks and weak politicians.

They need to be rounded up and shot.

Why did the past generation go to war for if these empty heads just sell the family silver.

The only thing right in that story is how we should be worried about all the other sales as well, shows how much this country is going down the tubes now.
Those idiot receivers that insisted the whole lot be sold as one should be shot, pricing out most other farmers, more or less guaranteeing a lesser price than what they would have got.
