They clearly entered the South China Sea extending between Australia and NZ. Why is everyone kicking up a stink??

The sheep in NZ are getting offended and can't graze as well.

Since lobsters are off the menu….well, unless you’re buying HKG lobsters that emigrated from WA…

There are some crockpot ideas that the Chinese built fleets in the 1400's that sailed all around the globe, including claims many are shipwrecked around Australia..

… and Tassie as well?

It's a dispute of international proportions.

That is exactly correct with what’s happening in the world now

You jest, but we are serious about our scallops down here!

Just on the Chinese warships... did no-one notice that they traversed the entire length of Queensland? Not care? Chinese own FNQ anyway? (If so, they are probably losing their shirts - I'd never seen so many boarded up shops the last time I visited Cairns.)

Yet Australia really continues to "ignore" the dangers of China. How many Chinese airlines are allowed to fly into Sydney these days? Well done VA crew for their own actions on helping the defence force!

No both Navy and defence forces knew of the presence of the vessels and were tracking them. What no one knew was they were going to be doing live fire exercises.
