Australia: Labor holds Dunkley seat, Meta bails on news deal

From Nine To Noon, 9:45 am on 6 March 2024

Australia correspondent Chris Niesche looks at the relief within Labor at managing to hold the seat of Dunkley at the weekend's by-election. Where does that leave Peter Dutton's Liberals? And Meta has announced it'll stop paying Australian publishers for news and shut down the news tab it had set up. What impact could that have on the media landscape?
