Controversy over Tamil family's deportation from Australia

From Nine To Noon, 9:49 am on 4 September 2019

Australia correspondent Karen Middleton reports on the growing public and political demands for the government to let a Tamil family, including two Australian-born children, stay in Australia.

She'll also talk about new child sex laws, how the donations scandal is getting worse for the Labor Party in New South Wales and the foal born yesterday to race horse royalty.
