AUSTRALIA’S #1 NATIONAL SECURITY RISK

I keep banging this drum, but Australia’s #1 national security risk is its transport fuel imports and reserves.

The charts attached should alarm you, and hopefully get you active.

Bar chart of national oil stockpiles in days of imports, with Australia last of the countries shown.
Bar chart of the top 20 global diesel importers, Australia the largest.

International suppliers are struggling to meet demand. Saudi just took a number of hits, prices are at their highest in a long time.

It’s been 7 months since Hormuz shut, and our Government has done next to nothing to shore up internal production. We are even more at risk of international factors than when Hormuz closed.

For the buy an EV and convert the semi fleet fleet, see the chart to show just how far we need to go to do that, decades Mate!

Table of Australian fuel burn, days of supply, tanker traffic and the vehicle fleet by type, with electric share.

The planes, trains, semis, boats, mine equipment, tractors and generators all need diesel to run.

So what’s the plan? What needs to be done. Some suggestions:

  1. The $400B being spent on 8 nuclear subs should be spent on fortifying our nation against external supply shocks.
  2. Then add another trillion to build out our nation with a national infrastructure project — freight and passenger electric trains across the country, biodiesel, and drilling and refining internally produced crude. See the link below, MMA website.
  3. Contact your government rep and highlight the dangers to our nation. Ask them for a government commission on our extreme transport fuel vulnerabilities, and ask what the plan is to remove these risks.
  4. Ask your local community or town to prepare a plan for when, or if, disruptions occur. Come together and start discussing how you will unite and work together.
  5. Buy an EV, build a strong community, grow your own food, store your own food and medicines.
  6. Prepare for the worst scenario — no fuel, no food, civil unrest.

MMA — Modern Movement Australia is a proposal to begin the discussion: how to get us moving away from imported transport fuels, and building our infrastructure to set Australia up for the next 100 years — and in the process become a net energy exporter to Asia.
