To sell off the poles and wires at all is a very bad move for NSW, but to entertain selling to a Chinese government-backed company simply beggars one’s belief. 

Foreign nationals should never ever be sold the freehold of any Australian land, assets, companies, businesses, trade names, or anything else.

If necessary, only sell leases, not freehold, or only sell a max of 49 per cent, so control remains in Australia.

Unless our political “leaders”, both state and federal, wake up and stop selling off Australia, we should all start learning Mandarin as soon as possible.
