ummmm havent we got oil wells / platforms off the W.A coast???...if so why aint we using them for us??

Because we are a net exporter of crude oil Recky. We sell it overseas as crude then buy it back as refined petroleum products.

As to other options, any of the vegetable/crop based sources of oil that can be turned into oil are generally going to take away from food growing land and as such we will have less agricultural land to cultivate.

As to opec if I could buy shares in it I would because due to capitalism these guys will charge at a profit meaning we will never see 80c a litre fuel prices again unless we become a comunist state.

Onto food, well considering a lot of the prime agricultural land on the east coast has been converted into housing areas (read gosford and every other area close to the coast) we won't see low prices on these either.

My suggestion plant a vegie patch start riding a push bike and prepare for the end of the world as best you can.

Yeah. Again Capitalism at it's finest. why refine it here when labour costs are cheaper overseas would just eat into the profits.

I'm still curious as to what wilson sees as conspiratory theories in this thread.
