Migrant Labour in Asia Pacific

Did the 麻豆官网首页入口 migrant labour series lack context? And, Newshour air a questionable tale.

The 麻豆官网首页入口鈥檚 recent Workers Without Borders series looks into the movement of temporary migrant labourers across the Asia Pacific region. In collaboration with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the programmes aimed to show both the benefits and dangers felt by the individual workers and their countries. For some of you though, the programme could have offered more context and dug deeper into the issue. Rajan Datar speaks to the programme鈥檚 producer Laurence Grissell (麻豆官网首页入口) and presenter Claudia Taranto (ABC) to hear how they struck a balance between personal stories and academic detail.

Plus, one listener asks why Newshour did not question their interviewee, writer Albert Podell, when he described witnessing a cruel culinary practise take place in Hong Kong decades ago.
