Questions raised over arrival of Chinese warships in Sydney

Questions have been raised about the arrival of three Chinese warships in the Sydney Harbour, with New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian revealing she was not informed prior.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has dismissed concerns, saying he had known about the arrival for 'some time' and insisting 'it certainly wasn’t a surprise to the government'.

Defence experts say the government's decision not to formally announce the Chinese naval taskforce visit to Australia is a 'bad look'.

Shadow Minister for Defence and newly appointed Deputy Labor leader Richard Marles has taken aim at the government for its failure to announce the arrival in advance, questioning why the Coalition 'wouldn't bother to let anyone know it was happening'.
