My guest today is Cheng Lei, a well-known Chinese-Australian journalist who worked for many years in China as journalist for both Western and Chinese news networks.

She was infamously imprisoned in Beijing for many years on allegations that her reporting "endangered China's national security" before eventually being released after pressure from the Australian government.

Today we discuss:

- Her career and professional background, how she originally got a job in the media and what the main differences are between Chinese and Western media organizations.

- How her views on China have changed over the years and whether too much blame is given to Xi Jinping

- How central should human rights concerns be in our relationship with China and what can be done to assist other imprisoned dissidents.

- What her plans are for the future.

And much much more.

My guest today is Northern Territory Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.

Today we discuss:

• Her involvement with the Australian music industry, the influence of black American rap music in aboriginal Australia, and revelations that her husband has experienced cancelation because of their positions on political matters such as the Voice referendum.
• Why the LNP did so poorly at the last federal election and what can be done to replicate the success that people like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are experiencing in other English-speaking countries
• Her views on multiculturalism, whether many who talk about it really understand what different cultures are like, and how she combines some traditional folklore as part of her identity
