The one where they export that coal to their owners in China? Yep, that's quite a dilemma. Their corrupt government has sold them out.

Well China's not taking most Australian exports at the moment. But they used to, yes.

So in the end. It's still China burning that coal, and not Australia.

Australia also burns a lot of coal for power generation. But certainly it used to export more to China.
But not at the moment.
It's a valid question as to whether you count the emissions associated with imports as your emissions.
Either way, Australia's emissions are much higher than just the power generation. On one hand there is a lot of coal exported. On the other there is a lot of cheaply made Chinese crap imported.
