Hanns,
I am not sure if you are referring to me or Steve Spence. If
it's me then I live on the northern beaches of Sydney. Biodiesel is not an
issue here at all. I have heard virtually nothing about it locally in the
press. About a month ago the Newcastle City Council, north of Sydney, said
they were going to run their garbage trucks on biodiesel. The cost savings
were mooted but not the environmental advantages. I don't know what its
like where you are.
regards
Barryt
