President, my question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Farrell. On 18 November, the defence minister released a statement regarding a 14 November incident in which a Chinese People's Liberation Army naval vessel engaged in actions that injured Australian defence personnel from the HMAS Toowoomba whilst it was operating in international waters—indeed, in waters within the Japanese economic zone. On what date was the Prime Minister, Mr Albanese, informed of the Chinese People's Liberation Army naval vessel's actions?
