+ Running out of oil? A Review of the Debate have become more vociferous
+ in recent months, declaring that the "Hubbert Peak" in world oil
+ production is with us, or will occur shortly. Some of the Depletionists

+ increasing oil prices and decreasing oil availabilities. Dr Bennett, who
+ is the founder of the Sustainable Transport Coalition, will review some
+ of the papers on potential mitigation measures, and will discuss the
+ interventions that the STC is calling for from governments in its policy
+ paper "Oil: Living with Less" (see

+ "Securing an Australian Food Industry for the Future
+ 
+ The Australian Food Manufacturing Industry is in a precarious position.
+ The
+ buying habits of larger retailers assisted by inadequate labelling laws
+ for
+ packaged foods is having a dramatic effect on farmers, food manufactures
+ and
+ the rural communities in which they are based.
+ 
+ Our aim is to achieve the following:
+   * Insist on clear country of origin labelling laws for packaged foods
+   * Ensure imported foods meet the same standards as Australian foods
+   * Ensure large companies place the needs of Australian communities equally with their right to generate profits.
+   * Make Australian Governments at all levels take appropriate action to ensure Australia retains a viable Horticultural sector and food processing industry.
+ 
+ The Road Show left Devonport on Sunday the 17th July and have held major
+ rallies in Melbourne, Ballarat, Shepparton, Echuca, Mildura Griffith,
+ Bathurst and Sydney, culminating in a major rally in Canberra.
