Also for context some years back Australia recalled ambassadors to France over nuclear testing in the pacific. So this is a bit tit for tat in response. Regardless I feel it's incredibly badly handled especially given trade situation with China. Australia is pivoting more towards other markets like EU (negotiations happening currently) and I can't imagine France is going to be too agreeable to this.
