Australia Rules Out LNG Export Curbs as East Coast Gas Supply Fears Ease

Australia will not be imposing controls on exports of natural gas during the third quarter of 2026, as industry and experts have assured the government that the most vulnerable east coast will not see any supply shortages between the winter months of July and September.

“Following confirmation from industry and experts that Australia’s east coast market has sufficient gas supplies, Minister for Resources and Northern Australia Madeleine King will not implement gas market export controls,” the government said on Friday.
