‘Embarrassment': Albanese ignores China's military provocations for ‘stabilisation'

'The Chinese gave no notice of their dangerous live firing under civilian airline flight paths,' Mr Shoebridge told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
'It was deliberate military provocation and intimidation by China.
'The Prime Minister at the time said, 'this is all lawful and perfectly normal', and he's done the same in his face-to-face with Xi.
'It's an embarrassment, and it shows the Prime Minister values his stabilisation fiction more than the safety of air passengers.'
