Law changes to be announced with apology to abuse in care survivors
The Prime Minister has promised that tomorrow's national apology to survivors of abuse in state care will be more than just words - announcing a raft of law changes he hopes will stop it ever happening again. Speaking alongside him at a media conference moments ago, the minister in charge Erica Stanford said she was incredibly nervous ahead of the big day. A lot of work and preparation has gone into the apology - but still some outstanding questions remain around compensation. Deputy political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Lisa Owen.
