Bazz what is coming down the road, & very damn soon now, is millions of Greeks, not bearing gifts.

It won't just be Greeks, but most of their southern Mediterranean brothers, running away from a Europe totally stuffed by green/politically correct/hand out ideology that has trashed their entire EU union.

Peak oil, or peak anything else will be of minor importance.

Besides there is plenty of oil under the southern end of the barrier reef off Gladstone. When things get really tough, our own greenies will be clamoring for us to harvest it, just like they suddenly fancied damns, when their life style was threatened by a water shortage.

Ahhh, interesting, who found it ?
But importantly, how much ?
A billion barrels = 11 days.

I have heard talk of it some time ago, but nothing firm.
I suppose the greenies would be up in arms about it.
When the queues at the service station get to be an hour long there
will be a rush of drilling rigs to the site.
