The Aussie scientist who defied China and told the world about COVID

Today's episode is about the rebellious act of an Aussie Professor. Professor Edward Holmes is the Aussie scientist who defied China and shared the genome sequence for COVID-19 with the world.

When the first signs of the pandemic emerged in January Chinese scientist Professor Yong-Zhen Zhang sequenced the gnome of this coronavirus and shared that information with Eddie. The Chinese government had told them not to publish the information. However Eddie Holmes was adamant the world needed the information ASAP. So he defied the Chinese authorities and hit publish.

Eddie was recently awarded NSW scientist of the year.

Have the Bilo Tamil family been given a fair go?

Have the Bilo Tamil family been given a fair go?

Two asylum seekers arrived from Sri Lanka on separate boats almost ten years ago. They fell in love and married, had two children and settled in the small QLD town of Biloela. Three years ago the Federal government decided they were not entitled to visas and deported them. The family appealed – and it’s been mired in the courts ever since. The family is now in detention on Christmas Island. We talk to Immigration lawyer, Greg Hanson and a friend of the family, Angela Fredericks to try to determine if the family has been granted the one thing Australians hold dear – a fair go.
