Our work said no. Honestly i kinda hope we run out of fuel. Allies of the US need a kick in the bum to make a move on trump and this is it. This shit is getting expensive, and thats before you think of the live's lost already. Just embrace China, why fight it. Change is the only constant
If that’s the lesson you think needs to be learned, you’ve learned the wrong lesson from this.
We need to take more ownership of our petrol/diesel/oil supply. We need to stop relying on other countries for things we can do right here at home.
We export like 90% of our crude oil and we've only got like 2 refineries so we also import like 80% of our refined oil.
My point exactly. We shouldn’t be exporting it, and we shouldn’t be importing it.
So how do you replace the billions lost?
You don’t need to. If we make our own oil industry in Australia we will be significantly better off.
Well best of luck with all that mate
