New Zealand's foreign interference risk and how we can combat it

The Front Page - Podcast készítő NZ Herald

Concerns have been raised on opposite ends of the planet this week on foreign interference from Iran. Donald Trump’s election campaign has claimed that Iran has hacked its internal messages, leaking election campaign documents to US media. At the same time, Austrlaia’s spy boss has claimed that Iran is one of ‘at least three of four’ countries involved in foreign interference. This may seem like an issue happening beyond our shores, but academics and officials have been warning for years that foreign interference is happening here. Today on The Front Page, University of Otago Professor of Politics Robert Patman joins us to discuss how worried New Zealand should be.
