Australia, Indonesia and the Case of the Bali Nine

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Two Australians along with seven other foreigners are facing imminent execution for drug offences in Indonesia. This is despite pleas from governments all round the world. Indonesia's image is under pressure - and we ask if that is also true of its trade relations. We hear from the brains behind Never Alone, a new video game from the native peoples of Alaska. It demonstrates how indigenous cultures can turn their folklore into profitable modern entertainment. In Britain this week MPs have called for more female spies. We discuss which particular attributes women bring to espionage. Joining presenter Roger Hearing are Simon Littlewood, president at Asia Now consulting group in Singapore and Elizabeth Nolan from Reason.com.
