Dr Jemma Purdey’s New ‘Talking Indonesia’ Podcast’ Available

Dr Jemma Purdey is the co-host of the Talking Indonesia podcast. The new instalment is now available, on the topic of ‘Papua and The Bilateral Relationship’:

“The recent visit by Indonesian President Joko Widodo to Australia was considered a success, with evidence of a good rapport between Widodo and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. The visit came in the wake of yet another tense period in the bilateral relationship, this time because of the discovery of apparently offensive materials related to Pancasila and Papua at an Australian military training centre and the unveiling of the Papuan Morning Star flag by trespassers at the Indonesian Consulate in Melbourne.” – Talking Indonesia
