The man involved actually tried to purchase the biggest cattle farm in Australia and the federal government didn't allow it upon review by the foreign investment committee.
Correct. Was turned down on the grounds of national security. Is obviously trying anything possible to be successful this time.
I think he'll be looking at property development in SA as much as anything and he's clearly using the Port deal to develop good will between him and the state government, among other business contacts. He's not loaded because he's good looking.
He also looked like he truly did enjoy the experience of a game at Adelaide Oval and wants to take that to China, it's bound to be for some benefit for him in doing so, nobody expects it isn't. Might find him and his mates like a punt and the line margins, first goal kickers, live betting might just float their boat.
The SA government is footing up about $500,000 for a 25 part series like the old "Winners" with Drew Morphett that'll wrap up all the AFL games as well as have magazine type pieces on different parts of South Australia to attract the tourist dollar here.
Do you believe now it had something to do with the state government
