"How do you put a price on a loved one?" - Nicky Bonney
Journalist Amanda Lindhout has just spoken out in detail for the first time about being kidnapped in Somalia for over a year alongside Australian photojournalist Nigel Brennan.
This week, Brennan and other guests join Insight to explore what happens when Australians are kidnapped overseas.
Brennan’s sister Nicky Bonney, who handled the negotiations with her brother’s kidnappers, explains the delicate, high-stakes process and how she managed to hold her nerve as the days turned into weeks and months.
The guests also debate the Australian Government’s 'no ransom’ policy and hear how families are turning to private operators to free their loved ones.
