For those that don't know Australian Prime minister and Russian President conducted a meeting a few days ago where Australian prime minister laid out his expectation that Russia issue an apology and compensation to the Australian victims of MH17.
Cut to today, 4 Russian war ships (at current location and speed) will reach Australian city Brisbane by Saturday.
FYI: On occasion Russia has sent warships to countries its president is an invited guest but never four of them and never without asking permission from the host country.
Australian media outlets have been reporting it as breaking news over the past few hours.
Australia has responded by sending stealth planes to shadow the warships.
As explained in the OP. This will be the first time in History Russia has sent 4 and also the first time it has NOT asked permission of the host country.

So what? They aren't going to attack so it makes no difference.
