From the transcript
Welcome to The Briefing Room, the show that hunts out of the obscure, under-the -radar, geo-polland-defense stories each week purely. So you can feel like the giga-ch ad of current affairs knowledge.
I'm Simon, and this week we're turning the spotlight onto the perpetually overlooked Papua conflict in Indonesia, a fascinating insurgency that almost no one ever seems to talk about, as well as that we're taking stock of the current global controversy over the F-35, before finally delving into the new unmanned helicopter from Airbus.
