Morning everyone. An Australian lawyer and an Australian resident have a $200,000 bounty on their heads this morning courtesy of the Hong Kong government who are offering the reward for anyone who delivers them or six other pro-democracy activists to the not-so-tender care of the territory police. Penny Wong says the Australian government is “deeply disappointed” by the targeting of the exiles and it presents another challenge for relations with Beijing.
