It's a matter of logic. Some things are a bear necessity, and other things are expendable. There are very few things I consider to be a bear necessity.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

why would china not buy coal anymore?
That silk road pipeline to Russia, the games they've even playing holding coal ships hostage not letting them refuel, Australia growing some balls and letting them know about their South China sea expansion, China's energy diversification plans etc, lots of reasons.
Canada has more untapped uranium than any other country IIRC but we don't dig it up for some reason. I don't think it's a moneymaker unless there's a good plan in place -

Pipelines don't transport coal, unless they're shutting down coal plants for gas it won't make much of a difference.

it's got nothing to do with 'balls', there's no good reason for us to get involved. Since we don't have our own foreign policy we'll probably end up doing something stupid to impress the US though

Ye was obviously talking about substituting Gazprom for coal. I figured you would be aware of chiner keeping some ships loaded with Australian coal off the coast for months without fuel just to play games.
Yeah doesn't seem like Australia has much foreign policy directives that aren't at the behest of allies. Youre right, Keeping china's territorial boundaries away from others aren't Australia's problem but it certainly worries the entire region. Probably Singapore could exert more influence over the situation than Australia could.
Iirc Australia leads the world in coal exports and has been trying to diversify its economy like alot of other nations are trying to do to adapt. Australia's low population density and seemingly half decent immigration program (despite being unfair to NZ) doesn't make it a super pressing issue. Iirc the biggest coal mines are government controlled. Canada's fucked its mining situation up badly when it used to be the envy of lesser powers -
