Pawan Luthra's Tony Burke interview continues to have a life of its own. Reposted across India for three days, solely for the Minister's mention of his favourite Hindi films - it was eventually picked up by mainstream the media there. Not bad for a question that was last-minute, hesitantly asked, and nearly cut from the interview entirely. It landed us 240k views across platforms, a repost from AR Rahman, one from Farah Khan, and a dignified silence from Shah Rukh (characteristic of him, but the Minister would have been thrilled).
This week, news.com.au picked up the interview too, paraphrasing the whole thing, for its actual conversation which was about immigration.
