The Aussies haven’t sought my advice but if they want it, they should meet ALL of there own needs first before they sell a drop to anyone else. As I see the world developing, energy self-sufficiency will be critical to national sovereignty. Good on ya, mate.

Hoarding isn't necessary. Drilling for oil is a win/win in all situations. Local production ensures sovereignity in case of war or disaster, and oil is completely fungible. Any increase in supply, anywhere, decreases the power of OPEC.

That certainly makes sense.But remember that the country has a very small population (I think it's around 20 million) so meeting their own energy requirements might not be that difficult.
