What Prabowo Subianto presidential election win in Indonesia means for Australia

Former DFAT Australia-China Council scholar Andrew Phelan joined Sky News hosts Rowan Dean, James Morrow, and Rita Panahi to discuss what Prabowo Subianto's presidency means for Australia’s relationship with Indonesia. Mr Subianto claimed victory on Wednesday night after an unofficial vote count showed he had won over 50 per cent of the vote in the national election. Mr Phelan said from an Australian perspective the presidency of Prabowo Subianto will be a continuity with the Joko Widodo era. “Jokowi had a reputation for infrastructure,” Mr Phelan said. Mr Prabowo is set to take the reign from Jokowi later this year.
