  • Submission from Pat Naughtin
    Inquiry into Australia's future oil supply and alternative transport fuels Submission from Pat Naughtin Dear Committee members, My submission will be short and simple, and it applies to all four terms of reference. Here is my submission: When you are writing your report on this inquiry, could you please confine yourself to using the International System Of Units (SI) especially when you are referring to amounts of energy. SI has only one unit for energy — joule — with these multiples to measure larger amounts of energy — kilojoules, megajoules, gigajoules, terajoules, petajoules, exajoules, zettajoules, and yottajoules. This is the end of my submission. Supporting material You probably need to know a few things about this submission. What is the legal situation? See 1 Legal issues. Why is this submission needed? See 2 Deliberate confusion. Is the joule the right unit to use? See 3 Chronology of the joule. Why am I making a submission to your inquiry? See: 4 Why do I care about energy issues and the joule? Who is Pat Naughtin and does he know what he's talking about? See below signature. Cheers and best wishes with your inquiry, Pat Naughtin ASM (NSAA), LCAMS (USMA)* PO Box 305, Belmont, Geelong, Australia Phone 61 3 5241 2008 Pat Naughtin is the editor of the 'Numbers and measurement' chapter of the Australian Government Publishing Service 'Style manual – for writers, editors and printers'; he is a Member of the National Speakers Association of Australia and the International Association of Professional Speakers.

Together with the wider metrology community, as well as other strategic partners, the BIPM ensures that the measurement results from Weights and Measures different states are comparable, mutually trusted and accepted. The BIPM provides a forum for the creation and worldwide adoption of common rules of measurement. The international system of measurement that the BIPM co-ordinates worldwide underpins the (BIPM) benefits of international regulatory co-operation (IRC): increased trade and investment flows and additional GDP points; gains in administrative efficiency and cost savings for governments, businesses and citizens; and societal benefits such as improved safety and strengthened environmental sustainability. Accurate measurements are specifically necessary to regulators and legislators for establishing and enforcing regulatory limits. This case study describes how the BIPM supports international regulatory co-operation (IRC) – its institutional context, its main characteristics, its impacts, successes and challenges.
