The sliding doors of tragedy: Bali Bombing 20 years on

It’s the 20th anniversary of the Bali bombings. On 12 October 2002, 202 people - including 88 Australians - were killed when explosions ripped through the Sari Club and Paddy’s Irish Bar in Kuta’s nightclub precinct.

We speak to journalist Ali Donaldson who reported on the tragedy at the time, and is there for the anniversary now.

What surprised us the most in this interview is sometimes in life, the worst things that happen to us can have the biggest impact - sometimes in really positive ways. In today’s Briefing, the sliding doors of tragedy as we mark 20 years since the Bali Bombings.

Headlines:

    - A third of the world to go into recession
    - Floods forecast for Victoria
    - Robodebt reviews scrapped
    - Adnan Syed exonerated
    - Australia to launch new tourism ad
