Howdy info seekers! Thanks for listening on this fine Thursday edition of Brisbane Line. Here's a run-down of the story we ran.

As tensions persist, many questions remain such as what is currently going on inside West Papua and the actions being taken by domestic and international parties.
4ZZZ's Toni Pankaluic spoke with Benny Wenda, President of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua to learn more about the current happenings as well as the political history shaping the situation.
