Australia would not survive more than a few weeks of warfare

We need to:

• Rapidly increase the uptake of electric vehicles as we only have a few weeks of fuel in the country. See also Cheaper Fuel.
• Increase reserves of fuel in the country – especially diesel. Obviously fuel stores are very vulnerable to missile strikes so tanks should be widely distributed and hidden in warehouses where possible.
• Examine establishment of coal-to-oil facilities again – noting that this has been found to uneconomic and polluting in the past. It also would create an easy target for foreign militaries.
• Ensure most munitions and other military supplies are either manufactured here and/or are held in large quantities.
• Ensure key pharmaceuticals and medical supplies are manufactured locally or at least held here in reserve.
• Examine adding mobile phone towers to the NBN. NBNCo could purchase selected mobile phone infrastructure to create a more robust network that everyone could connect to.
• Continue to encourage distributed power generation and storage (solar, wind, batteries). See also Cheaper Energy.
• Possible Government Insurance scheme to cover complete loss of buildings.

Securing Superannuation

We recommend preventing superannuation funds investing in:

• Companies with excessive price-to-earnings ratios. (E.g. Tesla)
• Government bonds of countries with net debt over 100% of GDP.
