About this listen

An elected Dutton Coalition Government would establish a Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs to provide greater support for Australians being held in arbitrary detention overseas. The need for a Special Envoy has been identified by the Australian Wrongful and Arbitrary Detention Alliance as a key strategy to provide a stronger focus on efforts to free Australians being detained by certain countries or in high-risk parts of the world in what is often referred to as ‘hostage diplomacy’.Shadow Foreign Affairs spokesman David Coleman said it was clear that more needed to be done in cases where Australians are detained overseas on spurious or false charges by foreign regimes. He's been talking about that and the rest of the Coalition's foreign affairs policy to SBS Chief Political Correspondent Anna Henderson.
