    A lot of people can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in this country.


    Well, there's a very simple answer.

    Nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn't know we were getting low.


    The reason for that is purely geographical. Our oil is located in Bass Strait and off the coast of W.A.


    Our dipsticks are located in Canberra.

    Maybe if I get my way and have all the margarine factories closed down, they can start making automative grease out of vegetable oil using the hydronation process.Afterall hydronation was initially inveted for making candles.

    maybe the government can slap a big excise tax on margerine when they start using it in cars.

    I thought it was because of all the wandering nomads driving patched-together muscle cars while wearing chrome hockey masks and suchlike.

    hah, clever.

    I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but I have my doubts about our supposed oil shortage, I'm more inclined to think that we're being shafted because it's been agreed upon by those who stand to make money from it all.
    "well, we don't really need to keep prices this high, but while we do we might as well make the most of it" (sound of a champagne cork popping in the background)
