How Australia risks becoming Chinas 24th province

Not at all . Events since Xmas has shown an unprecedented disruption in the oil industry , and Australia is not noticeably affected by it . The only worse scenario would be a total shut down of global sea freight , which would present more pressing problems than just a lack of oil reserves .

I like how the price of oil has fallen but its still expensive in you nation. but every thing there cost more money a 5 dollar chicken here is what like 13 dollars there.

and while we have been talking about the global sea freight business that china is trying to control in the area of the south china sea you should wake up and understand how much that would effect your nation and where the chinese might go next . but of course them trying to control and interfear in sea lanes shipping with other nations is ok with you but its bad when the usa tried to keep the sea lanes open from Irans attacks right plo

If Australia's storage capacity is full , it suggests that we either have enough reserves , or that we need to build more storage capacity to fulfill our agreed international requirements . If more storage capacity is needed , it will be built.....I see no urgency . Public and private transport runs more efficient , cheaper and cleaner , when converted to natural gas. Most taxis and buses , plus a growing % of Autralia's private vehicles are already running on gas, for this reason ......also an upsurge in people making their own bi-diesel .You inference that Australia is "highly vulnerable to disruption" has no basis in logic.

Your (supposed) leaders say you don't but, again, I'm not surprised you're unaware. I've mentioned before that I don't think you're genuine but, in any case, it's perfectly clear that oil is a growing concern for Australia. It would take anyone all of a few minutes to verify online. Why you never post links (aside from Russian propaganda) is also becoming quite clear.

TBH, I don't know that it is socialism that makes petrol more expensive in Australia - oil is traded in US dollars, and I think it is the exchange rate which has the greatest effect. Australia has a capitalist economy and a conservative government, but with elements of social justice (UHC, goverment funded pensions, etc.) and I don't think it could be described as a socialist country.
yes 3.75 I am a poor typist , with any government the more socialist programs they provide the higher taxes go up
I don't know where you got 2.75 litres per gallon - did you perhaps mean 3.75?

There are 3.785 litres in a US gallon.
