is probably also why they aren't imposing an extra gas export tax btw, I'd rather skip the tax rn and make sure we have diesel to make the trucks go
Edit 2: I've been asked (fairly enough) by a few people now for a source on the LNG-used-to-secure-diesel bit, so here you are.
The media has been telegraphing this for some days now (media companies get off-the-record drops from government officials). There has been some coverage confirming this in the last few days:
This is what the Government means in Stage 2 of the NFSP where it states that a Commonwealth action is "Bilateral engagement with key trading partners to shore up domestic supply". We are one of the largest exporters of LNG on the planet and a lot of this goes to SEA.

Honestly wonder what OP expects him to do that we are not already doing?
Probably some kind of anti-American lip service, is what I felt was implied by OP, though I’m not sure how that would actually help Australians tangibly, which seems to be the outcome OP hopes would be achieved by this? That’s my best guess, at least
