somewhat. LNG is sold on the basis of long-term supply contract. It's quite possible that LNG exported from Western Australia could make its way back to Sydney, Melbourne, other places if there is no pipeline infrastructure in place. the LNG import facilities compete on price, and in this example, Chevron would sell it to the highest bidder. No one wants "stranded" gas, but it would be up to the Government of Australia to set up the pipeline to its major cities. I'm sure such a pipeline exists, but given the quantity of gas available, Australia may not be able to use it all.
