Finding Cleo, Trafficked (Update)

Finding Cleo

Who could forget Cleo Smith. She's the brave little girl whose parents' tent was robbed in the middle of the night from a campsite in Western Australia.

Australians and countless others around the world waited breathlessly for 18 days, hoping against hope that Cleo would be found unharmed. She was found thanks to a police investigation that was unprecedented in its thoroughness and doggedness.

In an exclusive report for 60 Minutes, Tara Brown details the events leading up to and including Cleo Smith's rescue. Cleo's parents, Ellie and Jake, discuss their daughter's mental health 19 months after the traumatic event, and Brown interviews them to learn more.

She also reveals shocking new footage from the hours after Cleo went missing and extraordinary new details about the case, all of which led up to the four happiest words ever spoken by a four-year-old: "My name is Cleo."

Trafficked (Update)

If you think Australia's borders are secure, think again. Six months ago, in a joint investigation with the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, 60 Minutes exposed how criminals are making a joke of the way we enforce who does and doesn't enter the country. The rorting is breathtaking. There's large scale human and drug trafficking, sex slavery, and the shocking exploitation of sex workers. After our story, the Albanese government promised action ordering an urgent enquiry. The report was meant to be publicly released before last week's budget. But instead, the naming findings have been kept secret. But not any longer.
