Trying to point the finger at me in some kind of reverse logic only confirms you are full of shit.
You wrote, and I quote "Because last i looked when you included met coal australia is that largest exporter...". You claimed you have looked into this. I say you were probably lying.

Who did I say was wrong? I claimed that Indonesia was the world's largest exporter, Wank C^ntle asked for 'proof', I provided a verifiable link that what I claimed was correct as of 2011. Wank C^ntle and yourself claim that since then the situation has changed. So prove it. Put up or shut up.

Why would you do that? If you posted your source the debate would be over, and you would probably have won.
I've done that before, and then crickets. Until quite recently, I have always persisted when I think I am right, and when wrong, I have learned something. This has given certain people great satisfaction at their 'victory'. No doubt the dopamine rush to the head is addictive. However, many of those same people, when shown to be comprehensively and completely wrong, slink away like the intellectual cowards they are.
For the most part, timmy has not engaged in that behaviour, and will plough on no matter how stupid he risks looking, and will even occasionally admit his error. I don't agree with timmy on much, but I respect the courage of his convictions, even when I think some of his convictions are rather idiotic. That's why I said I would be surprised and delighted if timmy posted evidence that I was wrong, instead of sinking to the level of dishonesty of some of the pathological liars here.

Give me clue then timmy, post your numbers. Doesn't have to be a link. Make them up for all I care. It's something like 330Mmt.

You just prove why you shouldnt debate with idiots. They will drag you down to thier level and beat you with experience. Persisting because you are right but declining to prove it. Are you a mormon by any chance??

You are both wrong or both right depending on perspective.
Australia was the largest exporter of metallurgical coal and 2nd largest exported of thermal coal in 2011. Prior to this Australia was the largest exporter for 9 of the last 10 years prior to 2011. The floods of 2011 did restrict exports which lead Indonesia to over take us in thermal coal. Australia is expected to overtake Indonesia once again.
Australia will recover its throne as the biggest coal exporter. Despite some issues such as rising labour costs and domestic currency rate, which give Indonesia competitive advantages, Australia will concentrate a great share on infrastructure and mine expansion investments to become the largest exporter, with 356 mtce by 2017, well above Indonesia’s total exports then of 309 mtce.

Preferential policies in the pipeline to boost infrastructure construction
China is betting on its western development program to lead a new round of economic growth as the government is mulling "differentiated" policies for the region that will feature huge spending on infrastructure, Premier Li Keqiang said on Monday.
"We will roll out more preferential policies tailored for the western region concerning infrastructure projects, to accelerate the construction and upgrading of rail and road networks," he said.
He made the remark during a meeting with heads of the western provinces in Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province.
His comments coincide with a policy announced by the State Council on Monday to prioritize railway construction in the country's central and western areas as well as economically underdeveloped regions.
Li was on a three-day inspection tour in Gansu, which started on Saturday.
China will try to maintain sustainable economic growth and improve people's livelihoods in the next decade, and the central and western areas provide adequate room for further growth, Li said, adding that healthy economic development in the western region holds the key to the country's overall economic health.
"Differentiated policies" should be drafted for the western region, he said.
China's economic expansion has decelerated in recent years, with GDP rising 7.5 percent in the second quarter, down from 7.7 percent in the first.
Despite the economic slowdown, China has pledged to keep growth within a "reasonable range" without a stimulus.
The government has also vowed to push forward with reforms, as the nation faces problems including unbalanced growth in eastern and western areas, a wealth gap between rural and urban areas, industrial overcapacity and pollution.
Forum: China should put money and resources into western region
Li said the central government is considering measures to bring growth potential in the west into full play.
Li cited measures to guide the transfer of labor-intensive and environmentally friendly industries from the coastal region to the west, as well as supportive policies to develop new energies that include wind, solar and hydro power.
Due to rising labor costs and a saturated market, the coastal areas are losing growth momentum. And experts believe the western region, which boasts a huge market and big pool of labor, is bound to become the country's new growth engine.
Wang Jun, a senior economist at China Center for International Economic Exchanges, a top government think tank, said western development is key to China's economic restructuring and the transformation of its growth pattern.
The region's economic performance would help the country achieve this year's growth target of 7.5 percent, he added.
Some western cities have grown faster than their rich counterparts in the east.
In the first half of this year, three western cities — Guiyang in Guizhou province, Xining in Qinghai province and Kunming in Yunnan province — topped the national list in terms of year-on-year growth.
The nation launched its western development program in 2000 to help the west catch up with the east in economic growth. The program covers more than half of the country's land and almost one-third of its population. Many western provinces and regions have benefited from the program in the past decade.
Gansu's economy has expanded an average 11.2 percent during the past 13 years, with fixed-asset investment gaining 24.3 percent each year.
But the western provinces hope the central government will issue more preferential policies and spend more to improve infrastructure there.
Wei Hong, governor of Sichuan province, said the central government should prioritize investment expansion in the west by extending specific support to key projects.
Wang Jun said the premier has sent a clear signal to boost western development, and "more specific measures are expected in the coming months" that will cover railway construction, urban renovation and improvement in the medical system.
