By Nicholas Gruen, published 7/5/2009

I was part of the buzz - and the inevitable chaos - of the 2020 Summit. But alas, no call came about my idea.

What a great process. Nine winners and how many losers? Oh I do love the market of ideas! Not.

What else did you expect, the entire thing was a political con job. When you place 1000 bureaucrats, academics and elitist business people together, all you're doing is creating another April fools day. Not one of them came up with anything which was sensible, practical or even smart, just semantic rhetoric and useless bureaucratic no speak.

You need real people to run a real country, not programmed clones living in virtual la la land, constantly wasting money on boosting their ego's.

It did exactly as expected by many people before it even started.
The next edition will be no better.

The organisers refused, in line with government policy to not allow any
Representative of the Association for Study of Peak Oil Australia or
similar organisation to be present or submit papers.

Despite the big spike in oil prices last year and the financial crash
that it ushered in, peak oil is still a no no subject in government circles.
