Episode Synopsis


Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is in Canberra today for talks with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese - in his first visit to Australia since taking office last year.  It comes just two days after Prabowo named his former father-in-law, and the ex-dictator Suharto, a national hero - a move condemned by Human Rights Watch as whitewashing decades of repression and corruption.Guest: Daniela Gavshon, Human Rights Watch, Australian DirectorProducer: Anne Barker
