That is just tokenism that hides the truth. The Liberals have been responsible for putting more Australian assets into foreign hands than any other political party. It's why the government of Singapore now owns more Australian energy and telecommunications infrastructure than the Government of Australia. Blocking a sale here and there doesn't atone for past sins.
