Modi, Telstra & Iran’s Martyr Machine
from News Weakly with Sami Shah
This week on News Weakly, Sami Shah looks at how disasters become PR opportunities. Telstra somehow fixes a nationwide outage by creating another one, Narendra Modi gets the rock-star treatment in Melbourne while human rights concerns barely get a mention, and China reminds the Pacific what "friendly" military exercises look like.

Sami Shah is a multi-award-winning comedian, writer, journalist, and broadcaster.
