Sky News host Steve Price reacts to Defence Minister Richard Marles’ recent speech at the National Press Club, where he addressed the risk that China poses to Australia. “Marles was also very direct on the threat China poses to us,” Mr Price said. “That dire summary of the tensions in our region was not something I'd expected to hear from Marles, and given he is at the moment also the acting PM, I'd expect the reaction from China will be pretty blunt and pretty quick.

“I don't think you would hear the PM using this sort of language, but he must have endorsed Marles' pre-prepared speech.”
