Australian officials are closely monitoring a Chinese vessel that's passing through its waters, after completing a joint mission with Kiwi scientists off the coast of Fiordland. The high-tech Chinese research ship is carrying a deep-sea submersible that's capable of exploring extreme depths. It's following the route of Australia's deep-sea submarine cable, off the southern coast, weeks after Chinese warships carried out live drills in the Tasman Sea. Australian Correspondent Donna Demaio told Andrew Dickens that when asked, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says there's not much Australian can do about it. Albanese says they'd prefer it wasn't there, but it's able to pass through, just like Australia is able to have vessels in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait.

John speaks with Mike Pezzullo, former Secretary of Australia's Home Affairs Department (2017-2023), about the nation's historical resilience and current security challenges. They explore how Australia's early naval power deterred threats like German warships in WWI, yet today, the country faces a "real and present danger" from China's naval deployments, such as the recent task group in the Tasman Sea. Pezzullo warns that Australia's strategic sensibility has declined, leaving it vulnerable despite warnings from leaders like former Prime Minister Rudd in 2009. The conversation shifts to actionable solutions, emphasising the need for leadership to prioritise defence over social spending. Pezzullo suggests doubling maritime surveillance, investing in autonomous underwater drones, and fostering regional alliances to counter coercion without forcing nations to choose between the U.S. and China. He stresses that with political will, Australia can secure its freedom, drawing on past successes like economic reforms and border protection under leaders like former Prime Ministers Howard and Abbott. Michael Pezzullo is a former Australian public servant who served as Secretary of the Department of Home Affairs from 2017 until 2023. He was previously Secretary of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, and Deputy Secretary of the Department of Defence. Michael has a BA (Hons) in History from Sydney University.

The New Zealand Defence Force is no longer monitoring the warships as they sail west away from Australia.

Well, we may have problems getting Chinese tourists back to New Zealand, but the Chinese military seem interested in the region, conducting naval training practices about 130 to 150 nautical miles off the coast of Sydney. So far, China has complied with international law and the UN Convention on the law on the sea. There is no indication they won't continue to do so. This is not an overly aggressive move, but it should give the Government pause for thought - and focus thinking on the state of our navy. There are some oddities about this mission in the Tasman Sea - oddities that shouldn't be ignored. The first is the combination of ships sent our way. Speaking to media yesterday, Prime Minister Luxon said the Chinese warships in the Tasman have different capabilities from what we've seen before. The other oddity is that neither Australia or New Zealand received notice from China that it would be heading our way. No one knows their intentions - where they're going or why. Nor was there formal warning of what is thought to have been a live fire exercise, causing several commercial airlines to re-rout or change their flight paths. It was commercial airline staff who picked up unexpected radio messages from the Chinese navy, warning them to divert from an area between New Zealand and Australia where military drills were being carried out. Given the Tasman is basically a busy harbour bridge for planes flying between Australia and New Zealand, I'd quite like that information to be provided ahead of time - please. The Australian Minister for Defence, Richard Marles, said Australia would normally give 12- 24 hours' notice of a live firing event. So what's going on? It's quite possible China is responding to the Australian navy conducting ‘freedom of navigation' exercises off the Chinese coast. A little tit-for-tat - and a reminder of China's capabilities. With no one picking up the phone to offer an explanation, perhaps China sees this as an opportunity to see what kind of political and military response this unprecedented move generates from Australia and New Zealand. New Zealand has sent the HSS Te Kaha and a P-8 Poseidon aircraft to monitor the Chinese movements - take that China! Politically, explanations are being demanded - politely at this stage. Defence Minister Judith Collins has called the Chinese actions unusual, but didn't go so far to call it a show of force by China. But with China's continuing encroachment into the Pacific, and a formalised security deal with the Solomon Islands now in play, surely their intentions is to spend more time in the Tasman Sea. Without a robust response - what's stopping them? Defence Minister Judith Collins says the presence of three Chinese naval ships off Australia is a wake-up call for New Zealanders. It sure is. We have depleted our defence services, we're an isolated country that can't protect ourselves on our own, and we're very vulnerable to supply chains being disrupted. Wake-up call received loud and clear. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
