00:07 Introduction by Dr Elisabeth Kramer

00:52 Question 1: Could you give your opinion about the progress of the Omnibus Job Creation Bill that was introduced in January 2020?

04:32 Question 2: Will the joining of the opposition camp have a good impact on the government system for the next five years? Could you please explain in a bit more detail what that would look like?

06:42 Question 3: With the rise of racism towards the Asian community globally, and underlying anti-Chinese sentiments within Indonesia, how is the government, or the Indonesian community at least, responding to try and curb a mob mentality that COVID-19 is caused by China, which could, if left unchecked, fuel violence towards Chinese-Indonesians?

09:12 Question 4: Can you tell us more about the impact of the pandemic on informal labour in Indonesia, which is a huge proportion of the population there? How are they being impacted by the pandemic today?
