Or do they wish us to import the ethanol as well from places that can grow a lot to provide it. Of course they will need land and water for this.
I suppose that is as good a reason as any to knock down the rest of the amazon, asian and african rain forests....

How about legislate that all government vehicles must run on LPG or CNG that is produced in Australia. It is our fuel and public vegetables mostly never travel far from home.

No that would not help with increasing taxes nor would it or placate greenie nutters from Sydney who may lobby and vote against the incumbents.

Well said mate, I think you may have hit the crux of the issue; the very reason we have gone down this path.
Better yet, lets end price parity for our own crude.
