Hockey said that the Australian government welcomes foreign investment where it is not contrary to our national interest. 鈥淔oreign investment has helped build Australia鈥檚 economy and will continue to enhance the wellbeing of Australians by supporting economic growth and prosperity,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 note there have been some media reports about CCCC in relation to a World Bank debarment in 2009. I have sought advice and action on these and other issues in relation to CCCC. As a result, appropriate arrangements have been put in place to mitigate any concerns in relation to this issue and I am satisfied that this investment is not contrary to our national interest.鈥�
