Party Time

It's no secret that China is a bully. But the lengths it's prepared to go to in asserting its dominance sometimes borders on farcical. Last year 60 MINUTES reported how the communist regime savaged a young Queensland university student. Drew Pavlou's supposed crime was to organise a rally on his campus highlighting Beijing's many human rights abuses. Instead of silencing him, China's attack did the opposite, making him an even louder critic. Now Drew is taking his fight a step further. He has started his own political party and is launching a bid for parliament.
