PM Albanese says a push by Hong Kong authorities to arrest 8 overseas-based pro-democracy activists for allegedly breaking a national security law is “unacceptable”. Melbourne lawyer/Aussie citizen Kevin Yam and Adelaide’s former Hong Kong politician Ted Hui were named as 2 of the 8. Hong Kong’s Chief Executive John Lee said the activists would be “pursued for life”, with police offering rewards of around $190,000 for information leading to their arrests. And China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said the group had engaged in “anti-China activities” and “relevant countries” should “stop providing a safe haven for fugitives”. But Albanese is having none of it. Dutton also weighed in – he wants Albanese to cancel a planned trip to Beijing in response to the fracas.
