Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the Australian government has reached out to Beijing to raise concerns over what he described as a dangerous maneuver between a Chinese fighter jet and an Australian surveillance plane over the South China Sea.

Defence Minister Richard Marles said the Chinese jet flew very close to the side of the P-8 aircraft before cutting in front of the Australian plane and releasing a bundle of chaff that contains small pieces of aluminum.
