Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has criticised North Korea for what she calls its "provocative and belligerent" behaviour a day after it launched its largest-ever military exercise.


The Turnbull Government's 2016 defence policy paper termed the risk of a North Korean missile attack on Australia as "low."

But it warned longer-range and submarine-launched ballistic and cruise missiles could threaten Australian territory.

Dr Davis says it is in Australia's interest to discuss the impact of North Korea's actions with the United States because they have a direct impact on many Australians.
