My take on local news items would be -

1. Letters in response to items in local media which can be related  
to peak oil even when it does not have direct local applicability. eg  
an item on the Iraq war being about oil.

2. Local items on any local issue where the effects of peak oil are  
not mentioned and may have a significant effect in the longer term  
eg  expansion of the airport not taking into effect peak oil's  
likely  reduction in air traffic or an expansion of road capacity  
neglecting likely reductions in road traffic.

In today's Canberra Times I see three possible items -

* A letter to the editor p.10 "Gungahlin whingers" concerning the  
Gungahlin Drive extension.

* "Howard denies breaking promise to investigate soaring petrol  
prices" p.4

* "Gore's mixed score" Times2 p.5
