Why we are low on oil
A lot of people can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in this country.
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. Our oil is located in Bass Strait and off the coast of W.A.
Our dipsticks are located in Canberra.- Wood Borer

there was a quizz in todays paper with a question : "what is the lowest point of australia?" I immediately replied "Canberra". I think I was wrong but I took the point on principal...
the principal being the one that pollies apply, Ie: "I sorta answered the quesiton so I'll take the credit". Its a bit like being a little bit pregnant ....Zed

Although I agree in principle with my repected mate Zed however if Canberra was the lowest point in Australia then the pollies would look up to us all.

Maybe they need to be in the lowest point to see us from up on their high horses?

And Canberra's roads, like it's Pollies, go round in never ending circles with neither an entry nor exit point.

Fair go Bob, Trav could, like myself, be one of the few in Canberra that doesn't draw a cent from the government either directly or indirectly (services sector to the public of Canberra).
Please everyone be more specific about the lowest point in OZ ... it's Captial Hill which has that big expensive metal pole on top.
