Default Oil Shortage?

OIL SHORTAGE

There are a lot of folks who can't understand how we came to have
an oil shortage here in Australia. 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.

All our oil is in Bass Strait, outback SA., North West Shelf and
the Timor Sea...........




All our dipsticks are in Canberra.

The 'dipsticks' as you have described them, seem to all think that it is a problem for future generations to take care of. How blind they are...
