According to him, Australia "is ready to provide assistance in response to any request, from European countries, for the supply of liquefied natural gas in the event of shortage of gas from Russia."

"Australian liquefied gas exporters are the world's leading companies and reliable suppliers that have the ability to supply energy worldwide," he said in an interview with the Australian newspaper. The Minister stressed that his country can meet the growing global demand and be a reliable supplier of liquefied natural gas.
