A shambolic expedition to Arnhem Land, and the first despot of North Korea

from Late Night Live — Full program podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

It was an ethical and organisational shambles. And Kim Il-Sung, the grandfather of North Korea's current leader, Kim Jong Un, created the state of despair and oppression that continues today.
