Australia exports (perhaps much) less than $1B/year of Lithium, so that's way smaller than the rounding error of this discussion.

The quantity is not a rounding error, whereas the value is low only because the Australian government prices lithium far below its value.

And by that I mean that Australia favours enriching corporate coffers over collection revenue from its natural resources so as to benefit the whole nation with a long term view.
