While searching for the price of fuel in 2002 for another post, I came across this little gem.

"Iraq potentially supplies something like 10.9 per cent of the world's oil. That is a very substantial proportion of the world's oil reserves. In the event of sanctions eventually being lifted, I think the market expectation would be a reduction in global oil prices." - Mr Downer 2002

Foreign Affairs: Oil Prices

Well, the sanctions have been lifted. I am still waiting for my cheaper fuel.

"Australia's Best" that's giving credit where it is not called for

The sanctions have been lifted and Iraq could be rebuilding their oil industry and exporting oil . World prices would drop and the Iraq would be wealthy . Exept , of course they murder necessary foreign oil workers and blow up their own oil pipe lines . My best wishes to the sane and decent Iraqis who are trying to cope .

Rotord,

Whether or not Iraq is pumping out more oil under Bush then under Saddam is a question we might never know the answer to.

What the text shows however, is that in 2002 our dear minister said that the ACCC doesn't need special powers to freeze petrol prices, like in Gulf War 1, becauses prices will soon drop anyway.

The sad thing is that hey spent most of the time of this question on whether or not one could object to the irrelevence of the answer, and we pay them for this.
