- hulahoof 4y agoAs an Australian I agreed with your comment, but the link you shared indicate that petroleum actually is a larger export for us > The top exports of Australia are Iron Ore ($79.6B), Coal Briquettes ($36.4B), Petroleum Gas ($26.8B), Gold ($17.7B), and Frozen Bovine Meat ($4B)
- barry-cotter 4y agoThat’s natural gas, not petroleum as in the liquid. A fine pedantic distinction I know but if natural gas is petroleum so is coal.
