The Oil Drum: Australia/New Zealand

Reposted to main today after the Australian election result, which looks like a relatively sizable defeat of Howard's centre-right coalition.

This is the third article in relation to the Australian Federal Election, coming up next Saturday 24th November, 2007. The previous two articles are:

Garry Glazebrook and Peter Newman - A Public Transport And Green City Manifesto For The Federal Election

Matt Mushalik - Election Time in the Land of Oz

In September, I sent a policy survey to the four main parties (Coalition, Labour, Greens, Democrats) seeking their official view on peak oil and details of relevant policies. I received the first response from the Greens and second from the Coalition (Liberal/National Parties), but no response from Labor (which is especially disappointing) nor the Democrats.

The complete survey responses are here:

Greens Policy Response and Transport Policy Addendum (Roads to Rails)
