We should organise a screening of the docco at Flinders, one evening perhaps. As far as direct vs indirect use of oil, check out "Oil use in australia", a PDF...
Hey James, I think Simone's absolutely right about the oil footprint idea. Just classifying oil use as 'transport' or 'manufacturing' doesn't tell the whole...
