A revolution is taking place in a key Australian ally and neighbour. Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto has clocked up his first year in power and with incredible speed, he’s nationalising and militarising his nation's economy to deliver on his promise of a self-reliant future for his nation. On Foreign Correspondent Indonesia reporter Tim Swanston reports on the scale and cost of Prabowo’s ambitious program.
