Four Corners The Hunting Party
Would you allow your child to use a gun to hunt and kill animals? Across Australia there are thousands of families who not only let it happen, they encourage it. Hunting is now a growth sport and the reasons are simple. For many it's exciting, selling guns is a lucrative business and hunters have new-found political muscle. Many hunters say they do it to get back to nature and to source fresh meat. While they put ethics and safety first, it's the rogue hunter that is the problem.
Australia Network's cutting edge slot presents the best of ABC's Four Corners. Four Corners is investigative journalism at its best.
