Australia should mimic US’ on-shore oil extraction: resources minister | Sky News AustraliaThere’s no “imminent” threat to national fuel reserves in the wake of the drone attacks on two Saudi Arabian oil processing facilities but Australia should be prospecting for on-shore options, Resources Minister Matt Canavan says.\n\nMr Canavan used the United States as an example of the benefits of on-shore exploration. \n\nHe said “10-15 years ago, the US was the largest importer of oil in the world; in the next few years they’re likely to be a net oil exporter for the first time in more than 50 years.”\n\n“That is all due to these amazing technological developments in extracting shale oil and shale gas.\n\n“Given what’s happened in the US, we should also be seeking to apply similar technologies here.”\n\nMr Canavan said Australia holds on average 40 days of fuel supplies. \n\nImage: Getty No. Aust buys inexpensive ready product from Asia's refineries which can buy from Timor, Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, Saudi etc... No point at all to damage Aust sensitive whale birthing grounds, seaweed areas, fish & dugong nurseries when oil is already available from elsewhere. Matt, the minister for the f$king obvious! We can all see the necessary! Just get it done! If only someone had the foresight to invest in electric vehicles... oh yeah you sabotaged that!

UK Labour grassroots ‘poisoned’ by Corbyn’s ambition | Sky News AustraliaFormer British Labour MP Ian Austin has started a group called Mainstream which surveyed Labour Party members to ascertain political and ideological values.\n\nThe survey revealed that 66 per cent of the Labour Party is ashamed of the United Kingdom’s history over the last 300 years which British-born former Australian Labor Senator Stephen Conroy says is unsurprising.\n\n“The British Labour Party’s grassroots have been poisoned by Corbyn’s desire to protect himself and inflate his own position,” he told Sky News.\n\nMr Conroy compared Labour to its Australian counterpart and said Labor needs to ensure it isn’t “hijacked” on issues like climate change to become “too forward-leaning”.\n\nHe said “successful” Labor policy would balance both left and right concerns on the issue. \n\nImage: AP Forward leaning? You mean Left leaning! Ambition to be a cockhead Conroy is also the guy who fought tooth and nail for years to put in central government controlled content filtering on everyone's Internet connection. I'd suggest that he's the last person Labor should take advice from.
