I looked on the Senate Inquiry homepage:

http://www.aph.gov.au/senate/committee/rrat_ctte/oil_supply/index.htm

...when I first saw this on Energy Bulletin/SMH.

The final is not there yet. I guess we must 'stay tuned'.

Oil supply report to be released


February 5, 2007 - 4:04PM

A Senate report into Australia's future oil supply will be released on
Tuesday.

It comes as peak oil theory experts and environmentalists prepare to
link growing concern about global warming to the over use of oil.

Peak oil theory predicts crude oil reserves will run out, with some
warnings suggesting that little more than 50 years supply is left.

A UN linked panel of scientists declared last week that human activity
was almost certainly the major cause of global warming which threatens
to melt ice caps and raise sea levels dramatically.

The interim report of the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport
Committee linked oil use to global warming.

Committee chair Australian Greens senator Rachel Siewert says the link
between the two issues of oil vulnerability and climate change must be
accepted by the federal government.

"The government needs to be taking issues around oil vulnerability
extremely seriously," she said.

The Australian Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas, a body of
environmentalists and oil experts, highlighted in its submission to the
Senate inquiry the need to reduce car use to help avoid the possibility
of oil running out.

"Scientists who warned us for ages about climate change were ignored and
derided," association spokesman Bruce Robinson said.

"Now, droughts, hotter temperatures and melting glaciers are showing the
warnings should have been heeded earlier and action taken."
