China missile launch sparks alarm as possible message sent to Albanese

Shadow Energy Minister Dan Tehan says the government must explain China’s missile launch motives after questioning whether it was deliberately timed to coincide with the Prime Minister's Pacific visit. “What we need to hear is some pretty strong comments on behalf of the Pacific from the Australian government,” Mr Tehan told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “What we want to all see is a peaceful Pacific. We don’t want to see this type of texting taking place. “They should come clean and provide us with clear guidance as to what the motives are and whether it was timed to send that message to the Australian prime minister when he was signing that treaty. “If it is, that’s quite alarming.”
