  === Australia's international energy relations ===
  
  Post-peak international relations will likely be less centred around great powers and more about cooperating with your neighbours. This phenomenon is already emerging in Latin America and between India and Pakistan.
  
- Australia may develop a new conception of itself as a relative safe-haven from a world of troubles. The tyranny of distance may end up being our saving. However Australian energy reserves are much sought-after, particularly due to our political stability. We should bear Peak Oil (and gas) in mind when we sign decade-long energy agreements to supply other nations.
+ Australia may develop a new conception of itself as a relative safe-haven from a world of troubles. Globalisation will be unwound. The tyranny of distance may end up being our saving.

  In a world of oil scarcity, with melting icesheets, it is even conceivable that many nations may attempt to conduct oil exploration in Antarctica. As a claimant to a large portion of Antarctica, the Commonwealth needs to be vigilant.
  
  **Recommendation: the inquiry examine whther current gas export agreements are viable given our own energy demands after the peak of world oil production; the Commonwealth ensures that all oil reserves under its control are exploited as sustainably as possible and are not squandered.**
