Australia’s prime minister Anthony Albanese said his administration has flagged a “chaffing” incident in which a Chinese fighter aircraft intercepted an Australian military surveillance plane.
Mr Albanese said his country — one of the four members of the Quad grouping with the US, Japan and India that seeks to counter China — was concerned about the interception that reportedly took place on 26 May and added that he had pointed out the issue to Beijing through “appropriate channels”.
