Will all due respect to those who have died in this tragedy, have you got a reference for Australian oil import sources ?
I wasn't aware we took any crude from Myanmar...
Look at your own website, mate :) According to aeldric..., if they send us any fossil fuels, it's not worth mentioning.
For some reason he gives the numbers in megalitres. Lowest (11th) is the Phillipenes giving us 39Mlt = 245,000bbl. So it'd have to be lower than that, if not zero.
According to DFAT, two-way trade between Australia and Burma is about $40 million annually; basically we send them wheat and they send us fish. DFAT doesn't even bother listing trade with Burma in its monthly trade report, sticking to the >$1 billion countries.
I wouldn't care if they supplied half our oil, though. Tens of thousands have died, that's all that matters.
See - that post didn't have a number - no wonder I was ignorant :-)
But I should have remembered it - I'll blame the effect of scanning hundreds of articles every week - only the *really* weird stuff sticks now...
