Here are the facts on foreign ownership. Dig a bit deeper and see which country has majority shareholdings in our banks....clue, its not China.

China gives us a massive trade surplus, puts money in our pockets, but they own very little. I lived in London between 2008 to 2013, during the heart of the GFC. You should all thank your lucky stars you didn't have to go through austerity. In part this is due to the massive trade surplus.
I did check the link on DFAT that you posted. Doesn't really state in which industries investment has been allocated. Meaning, that the UK may be invested in say technologies or medical industries.

Doesn't really show who's investing in our " Key " infrastructure. China we know owns ( leased 99 years ) the Port of Darwin, Land and Water right usage and distribution, Agriculture industries / entities and perhaps energy.

Is there a chart that shows which industries countries are investing in?
