    Australian journalist trial in Beijing

    Australian CGTN journalist taken off air and vanishes 19 months ago in Beijing. Today gets a trial, accused of providing state secrets to foreigners.

    What I find 'interesting' in this situation is...why is a Australian journalist working for CGTN? If she is a pro democracy/free speech/human rights as one might expect from an Australian then why work for a channel like CGTN?

    If she was towing the line of CGTN then surely the Chinese would have no beef with her. Great to have a 'westerner' back in the fold!

    Which then begs the question - was she actually 'spying' for Australia?

    Tough last few years for her and her family. I hope they can get their lives back to normal.

    However, this is what happens when you get in bed with the devil.

    Lesson learned.
