**Indeed and China has (or soon will have) the capacity, the will and 
the desire to do so. Australia needs to be totally self-sufficient in 
energy production as soon as possible. Oil is our biggest problem and we 
need to find alternative energy sources very quickly. Make no mistake: 
China will neutralise Australia as soon as they think they need to. 
Cutting off our oil is a very quick and easy way to fuck us. Oil tankers 
move slowly and Chinese aircraft are much faster.
