The strange politics behind Shen Yun + Liberals suppress explosive report

So, what is Shen Yun? The Chinese dance group was thrown into the spotlight this week after it was linked to a bomb threat against the Prime Minister at the Lodge in Canberra.

In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by Professor Haiqing Yu from the School of Media and Communication to explain what Shen Yun is, its controversial links to Falun Gong and why we all need to care about this new fragile geopolitical environment.

Headlines: The Liberal Party has confirmed it won’t release a report into its disastrous performance at last year’s federal election, the Commonwealth Bank is investigating a major fraud scandal, the federal government is warning child care centres are on notice if they don’t lift standards and meet new deadlines, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has lashed out after being grilled over Jeffrey Epstein, and some good news from Magda Szubanski.
