Vietnam pulls plug on commemorations

One thousand Australian veterans have travelled to Vietnam for 50th anniversary commemorations of the Battle of Long Tan, but Vietnam has pulled the pin on the event at the last minute.

It's sparked a fiery response from Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who has accused Vietnam of showing a complete disregard for all the veterans who have travelled to the country.

Australia correspondent Jason Morrison spoke to Paul Henry this morning about this, and an online pornography ring in Australia features thousands of explicit images of young women and girls, without their consent.
