Yeah, ~10% of their coal fleet has been shutdown in the last couple of years and only partially replaced by wind and solar, so increased natural gas demand for electricity plus exports means Australians now pay high retail prices for both NG and electricity.
I guess out of two bad options, it's better to be oversupplied with energy than under supplied.
