The #ADF can hardly claim "international waters" (a #UNCLOS definition) in the South China Sea at the _very same_ time it encourages US / Israel aggression in the middle east (clearly breaching the UN Charter).

#Australia, we either rely on international law, or you undermine it. There's no middle path.

In local dialect:
If international law is buggered, then we're fucked.

ADF helicopter forced to take evasive action during interaction with Chinese aircraft

The Australian Defence Force says a Seahawk helicopter launched from the Australian frigate HMAS Toowoomba was confronted by a Chinese helicopter and was forced to "take evasion to maintain a safe flight".

@Heterokromia well, the ADF are fortunate it wasn't an US helicopter, who would have just shot the ADF down.
