Food Security and The Sell-off of Australian Agricultural Land

Adressing the concerns of the Australian public in regards to the Sell-off of Australian Agricultural land to overseas interests.

Do you believe the Australian government should be doing more to address the issue and stop of the sell-off of our productive agricultural land to overseas interests?

Yes, they definitely need stop or heavily restrict the sell-off of our Agricultural land to overseas interests.

No, I believe if they've got the money anyone should be able to buy our Agricultural land.

I don't care either way, I can't see what all the fuss is about.

For you, is the issue of Food security:

a major concern that you believe needs addressing immediately.

a moderate concern that may need addressing at some time in the future.

is of no concern either way.

is a beat up that will never eventuate.

Do you believe that in the future, if Australia's population keeps growing at the current rate and we allow our agricultural land to be sold to whoever has the money to buy it, that Australia:

will always be able to produce enough food for it's population.

may have a problem producing enough food for it's population.

will definitely not be able to produce enough food for it's population.

Can you see the issues of Food security and the Sell-off of our productive land becoming major election issues in the near future.

Yes, definitely.

No, I don't think so.

Uncertain.

At the next election, would you vote for a particular political party based on their stance in regards to Food security and the Sell-off of our productive land.

Yes, definitely.

Possibly, depends on other issues at the time.

No, there are definitely more important issues.

Haven't really thought about it.

Do you believe the Australian government needs to address the issue of the ever increasing Woolworths/Coles duopoly?

Yes.

No.

In regards to pricing in the short term, do you believe the Coles/Woolworths duopoly is:

good for consumers.

not good for consumers.

I don't really know.

In regards to pricing in the long term, do you believe the Coles/Woolworths duopoly is:

good for consumers.

not good for consumers.

I don't really know.

In regards to competition, do you believe the ever increasing Coles/Woolworths duopoly will:

eventually drive small independant grocers and stores out of business, therefore reducing competition.

not have much negative effect on small independent grocers and stores and therefore not really affect competition and choice.

Do you believe Coles/Woolworths give Australian farmers a fair price for their produce.

Yes.

No.

Not really sure.

If shopping for 2 litres of milk, taking into account your budget, the environmental impact and who would profit the most from the purchase, would you:

Automatically purchase the cheapest regardless of it's origin.

Take note of the origin of the various milks but only purchase the local milk if it was the same price or cheaper than the milk produced in other states.

Purchase the local milk even if it was slightly higher in price.

Purchase the local milk regardless of price, because it helps the environment and benefits local producers rather than the big supermarket chain.
