Australia issued a joint statement with the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada on May 28, stating that the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" would weaken the freedom of Hong Kong citizens. Australian Prime Minister Morrison said on the 29th that the relevant laws clearly deviated from Hong Kong's "one country, two systems" governance system. On the other hand, he said that sanctioning Chinese officials is not something that is being considered.

Morrison said, "We have expressed our point of view and expressed it in a way that I think is very diplomatic and polite." He pointed out that this point of view is a very fair and very reasonable observation.
