Albanese must have a ‘man to man conversation’ with Xi Jinping
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese needs to have a “man to man conversation” with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to Shadow Defence Minister Andrew Hastie.
Mr Hastie’s remarks come after a Chinese fighter jet dropped flares in front of an Australian Navy helicopter in international waters off the coast of South Korea on Saturday evening.

Defence Minister Richard Marles has labelled the incident as unacceptable.
“I think it is high time the Prime Minister raised this with President Xi,” Mr Hastie told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
“This is exactly what Peter Dutton has said – he needs to have a man to man conversation and set a boundary.”
