SOUTH Australia is sitting on oil potentially worth more than $20 trillion, independent reports claim - enough to turn Australia into a self-sufficient fuel producer.

So it's just a matter of time before the US Invasion to locate our WMDs? I presume also that our Army will follow them in?

Good news if it's on the upper end of the scale. South Australia needs it.

Good news if it eventuates but could the company in question be trying to inflate their share price with some positive media speculation?

And watch as most of the profit heads overseas and not into our hands, as has been the case with all mining in this country.
