To close the loop, maybe Norway could also walk away from drilling for oil off South Australia: https://abc.net.au/news/2019-03-11/great-australian-bight-no...

That would have to be Australia's call, as it's Australian territory (I presume). Norway can only walk away from drilling on Norwegian territory, which it did (or will do, nothing has been voted on yet in the parliament). The actual drilling is done by oil companies, and those who wanted to drill in the affected areas in Norway had no intention of any kind of walking.
