Campaigning underway in Indonesia
Updated
Indonesia's elections are still six month's off, but the campaigning's now officially underway. The work of registering the parties and voters ends today; a process that's reasonably straightforward in most of Indonesia, where there are rules that apply equally to all parties - except in the autonomous region of Aceh. Aceh is the only region where local parties can stand, and there are different regulations for local and national parties. It is causing concern among some observers about double standards and potential discrimination.
Presenter: Sonia Randhawa
Speakers: Michael Leigh, Aceh Research Training Institute, Melbourne University; Partai Rakyat Aceh chairman Aguswandi
