The prospect of a gas reservation scheme could be revived by Labor, with ministers signalling the sector's supply of gas to Australia is under review and noting that states with schemes already in place have been able to operate successfully.
Newly appointed Industry Minister Tim Ayres would not rule out possible laws that would force gas producers to reserve some of their supply for the domestic market.
"We've got our focus on what happens over the next three to five years, and [Resources Minister] Madeleine King has made it pretty clear, we are focused on making sure the mechanisms that are there, and the packages that are there, are delivering the purpose they need to deliver," he told Sky News.
"What we're not going to do is do what the Coalition did during the election campaign, which was policy on the run.
"The Coalition ran around pretending to be the best friend the gas industry had … then at the last second cobbled together a pretend reservation strategy that would have delivered a sixth of what the government had already delivered."
Federal and state governments are doubling down on gas, with a warning from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) that the south-eastern states face shortfalls from 2029.

Some Liberal MPs fear a looming discussion within the Coalition about net zero might damage the party politically, even as they expect the commitment to remain.
Coalition leaders have made clear the pledge to lower emissions to net zero by 2050 is on the table, as the Liberal Party reviews its policies after its disastrous election defeat.
Some Nationals MPs have been openly agitating for the commitment to be dumped, including senator Matt Canavan, who pitched his failed bid to lead the minor party as an attempt to "end our crazy and insane obsession of net zero".
And some in the more conservative wing of the Liberal Party have also publicly questioned the policy's future.

Pauline Hanson says a pair of surprise Senate victories were a result of the Coalition fence-sitting on issues such as climate change.
One Nation will increase its representation from two to four in the upcoming parliament after preferences pushed out Labor from the final Senate seats in Western Australia and New South Wales.
The party will now have the same number of senators as the Nationals.
Speaking with Sky News, Hanson credited the win to putting out "common sense policies".
"The Coalition have sat on the fence … the moderates in the party are pushing them to that way. The thing is, they're not going to pick up those Greens or Labor voters at all with their policies," she said.
"The trouble with the Coalition was they never pushed back. They couldn't state their case. They couldn't debate the issues with the Labor Party and their lies."
Hanson said her party would push for Australia to walk away from global climate commitments.
"Climate change is a scam and it's not going to help the Australian people but it's putting them into more hurt and pain. We will stand firm on our policies," she said.
Pauline Hanson says she's "elated" One Nation has doubled its representation in parliament after surprise wins in Western Australia and New South Wales.
But the Queensland senator is disappointed One Nation couldn't get over the line in a tight battle for the final seat up for grabs in Victoria, and secure party status in the upper house.
"It would be lovely to have that fifth one to get the party status in the Senate by all means … to come that close to winning that seat. I'm buoyed by that confidence that people are giving One Nation now, and hopefully move forward with it," she told Sky News.
Party status requires at least five members and comes with additional resources and perks.
So would Hanson try and convince United Australia Party senator Ralph Babet to join her ranks? Hanson says she's not in the business of pinching other senators.
"But if the parliament is not prepared to do anything about it and bind these people … stay with that party, if not they have to leave parliament, well then I have no obligations to anyone."
Up to eight people, believed to be from China, have been detained by border protection authorities after reaching a remote part of the Northern Territory coast by boat earlier this week.
The ABC has been told the first six members of the group were discovered by local workers on Tuesday while walking near the remote Indigenous township of Maningrida, approximately 500 kilometres east of Darwin in Arnhem Land.
Another two men were picked up the following day by Indigenous rangers before eventually being taken into custody by the Australian Border Force, which has so far not commented on the operation.
It's unclear where the group has now been taken, but a source familiar with the interception says the men were believed to be Chinese and had reached the Australian mainland by sea before being detected.

Hey Devon.
The vote count may take another week and a half, so I'm not going to get into it every single time there is a minor update.
As chief election analyst Antony Green noted yesterday, the AEC is counting results polling place by polling place.
Each polling place may or may not uncover small errors that get reflected in the published result. The minor fluctuations could go for some time yet.
But don't worry, we have our eyes on it and the minute a major update rolls in we'll bring it to you.
The AEC has announced the senators elected in New South Wales, and One Nation has picked up the sixth spot, somewhat by surprise.
Labor's Tony Sheldon and Tim Ayres, the Liberals' Andrew Bragg and The Greens' Mehreen Faruqi have all been re-elected, and the Liberals have won a second spot with newcomer Jessica Collins.
But the result that wasn’t widely expected was the sixth senator elected: One Nation’s Warwick Stacey.
It means One Nation have won three senators in this election that will serve alongside party leader Pauline Hanson, who wasn’t up for election this year.
Today's result also confirms the defeat of the former Nationals deputy leader Perin Davey.
NSW is the last state to announce successful candidates, so that means we also now have the final makeup of the Senate.
From July, the Senate will have 28 Labor members, 27 from the Coalition, 11 Greens, 4 One Nation senators, plus Jacqui Lambie, David Pocock, Fatima Payman, Lidia Thorpe, Tammy Tyrrell, and the UAP’s Ralph Babet.
The government needs 38 votes to pass bills in the Senate, so all they need is the support of either The Greens or the Coalition.
One Nation has pipped Labor to pick up the final Senate seat in New South Wales.
Here are the successful candidates for NSW's six Senate vacancies in order of their election, according to the AEC:
It means One Nation will now have four seats in the upcoming Senate after it nabbed the sixth spot in WA.
The Liberal Party's reliance on urban sprawl to fix the housing crisis was "misguided" and the opposition could prioritise supply by threatening state governments, new spokesperson Andrew Bragg has said.
Previously an assistant in the housing portfolio under Peter Dutton, Bragg was promoted on Wednesday to shadow minister by Sussan Ley, who said he would also have "economy-wide" responsibility for productivity and deregulation.
"You should have some policies which help prioritise first homeowners, but the thrust of your policy should be on the supply side," he told the ABC in an interview.
"We need to look very carefully at how we ensure that the states are going to meet their end of the bargain … We need to look at the carrots and the sticks."
