PRIME MINISTER: I stand by what we have said when it comes to the incident that occurred in in North Asia in recent days. Australian Defence Force personnel were engaged in international waters, in international skies, and engaged in international work, consistent with the United Nations sanctions being imposed on North Korea. It was legitimate, peaceful activity which should be respected and which I’m proud of the role that Australian Defence Force personnel play in upholding international law and international sanctions and the appropriate processes as determined by the United Nations. This action by China was unprofessional and unacceptable. We’ve made that very, very clear going forward. Thanks very much.
