Honey or syrup
Honey is made by bees. Golden syrup is made from sugar cane--it's kind of a very light molasses. Golden syrup tastes a little different, but you can use it instead of honey.

No. While they look similar, vegetable oil and golden syrup are not the same kind of ingredient (golden syrup is a sweetener), and substituting one for the other will not work.
They won't turn out quite the same (more hard, less sweet, not very chewy etc...) if you miss it out. You could try using honey instead, but it will taste of honey as a result. Plus the dough may not bind together without the syrup. It would probably be better to wait until you have the golden syrup to make the biscuits.
Corn syrup tastes similar to honey, and in many cases is used as substitute. Powdered corn syrup is a corn syrup that comes in powder and is sweet.
Molasses or syrup can substitute for honey.
A list of syrup cakes includes lemon syrup cake, Pistachio Syrup cake, Buttered Honey Syrup, chocolate syrup cake, golden syrup cake, mandarin, and many more.
Wow, molasses has a much stronger and different flavor than maple syrup. Sugar wise it depends on the grade of maple syrup, some are much thicker than others. Honey, golden syrup (cane syrup), corn syrup or simple syrup (50/50 sugar/water) are probably better substitutes. However, for grade A dark amber maple syrup you could if you wish substitute equal amounts of Barbados molasses (best grade) or about 2 tablespoons of blackstrap (worst grade) molasses for 3 tablespoons.
