Anthony Albanese has slammed China over a “dangerous” incident involving Australian navy divers.
Australia has confirmed the naval personnel were hurt on Tuesday while performing a mission in support of United Nations sanctions enforcement.
Naval divers were in the water to cut fishing nets away from an Australian frigate’s propellers when a Chinese ship approached and emitted dangerous sonar pulses.
I strongly agree that we don’t need to start a war over this, but there has got to be more that we can be doing to show China that their actions have consequences, something to check their blatant disregard for the spirit of cooperation.
