    I was thinking Australia could by a heap of oil, massive amount, on the cheap from Russia or even USA if people worried about politics, store it at a remote spot in Northern Territory, near the train tracks but way in the outback. No one can steal it unless they have a train and can beat the missiles and drones from Katherine air base. We store raw crude or oil, I am no expert. We have that much oil we can build our own refinery on the back of it run remotely, and robots with the odd technician.

    We get the raw oil and refine it in outback NT and when Australia needs it send it by train via the train network closer to a JIT set up but not too anal so there is a little bit if storage as I assume exists already in the cities.

    Oil producers should not worry because Australia has no oil reserves to compete so can only store and refine. We could export refined product from Darwin if situation demanded it
