In this episode of UpFront we ask New Zealand’s Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta whether New Zealand has failed to speak up on human rights violations in China, West Papua and Western Sahara.

And in a special interview, we challenge Thailand government spokesperson Anucha Burapachaisri on the government’s heavy-handed response to a wave of protests calling for the prime minister to resign and the monarchy to be reformed.
