Good Evening everyone. This is ABC News. I'm Jefferson Dufflecoat.

A Chinese submarine was detected this afternoon making a pass through waters east of King Island this afternoon. The vessel momentarily was detected skirting Australian Territoral waters as it steamed past on its way towards New Zealand, believed to be in a show of force against the Australian Government after last weeks EMP attack on a Chinese warship. The submarine didn't stop and was out of range of Australian Territorial Waters by the time Australian submarines moved to intercept

The move comes as Chinese Naval drills in waters north of Australia come to an end after 4 days of tensions along the borders of Australia Territorial Waters, Chinese fighter jets once again buzzed the edge of Australian airspace, forcing F-35 Fighters from RAAF Base Tindal to once again scramble in response, although again no incursion was detected by Australian Air Force Radar.

The opposition leader SmugDemoness announced their intention to refer model-Jordology to the International Court of Justice for the unprovoked EMP attack, citing the governments "Unwillingness to be comprehensive with its domestic issues on this matter" and the refusal of Prime Minister Riley8583 to remove Jordology from cabinet.

The opposition leader also encouraged protestors to continue their protests against the Government until the crisis is fixed, a message many have taken to heart. Large scale protests have taken place in Melbourne, Sydney and Darwin against the Government and there is grave concern tonight the protests are taking on a darker tone.

The former defence ministers electoral office in his seat of Lingiari was fire bombed last night, causing extensive damage and ABC News can reveal that this evening model-Jordology is with a protection detail from the Australian Federal Police after what sources within the AFP have told ABC News is "a credible threat against the member for Lingiari, with the intent to cause harm to the minister's life and livelihood".

The Prime Ministers electoral office in Cunningham has also been defaced, much in the same way Jordology's office was defaced before the fire bomb attack, Nazi slogans and "War Monger" tags adorned the offices as the mood of young Australians turns more heated against the government.

Australian Forces have been put on elevated alert in response to the Chinese show of force and the mood is tense. For China's part though, the tone is silent, the only words from them being an acknowledgement of the planned referral by the opposition leader to the ICJ and a renewed call for the Prime Minister to make a full public apology for their attack.

US President Joe Biden has also weighed into the debate, calling for cooler heads to prevail while at the same time promising that the United States would stand "shoulder to shoulder" with Australia should conflict between the two nations break out.
