Stolen artefacts given back but looting continues

Today’s Briefing is about returning artefacts to their rightful owners.

From skulls to statues and super rare antiquities; nations, like Australia are starting to return artefacts to the countries they were stolen from. We’re joined by Dr Craig Barker - an archaeologist, and the Manager of Education and Public Programs at the Chau Chak Wing Museum at Sydney Uni. Craig explains how and why the hand backs are occurring, and what role Australia has to play in correcting its injustices.

In today’s Briefing, giving back stolen artefacts... and why there’s more looting than ever in some parts of the world.

Headlines:

    - Higgins admits recording discussion with senior minister
    - Investigation launched into Thai mass shooting
    - More heavy rain adds to flood risks
    - Fraudster Caddick's $2m jewellery collection to be sold off
