In a short period we have become nett importers of oil to the tune of $10 billion pa;surely it would be in the national interests to to use our own energy at cheaper prices.This also would make us more competitive internationally. We have a natural advantage over China in terms of energy and resources,yet we don't exercise it.Natural gas was 30c a litre just a few yrs ago,now it is 70c a litre. It seems as Dick Smith has constantly alluded to,we no longer control the purse strings of our own continent. We are beggars,who no longer have belief in our ability.
