'Breach of rights' as child ordered to return to Australia

From Morning Report, 7:25 am on 28 November 2018

A mother who has been ordered to take her toddler back to Australia says her rights are being breached. The heavily pregnant woman (33 weeks) lost a Family Court case this month and must return her child immediately under the terms of the international Hague Convention. But her lawyer says it's a breach of the mother's rights to order the child back right away, given they have 20 working days to appeal against the Family Court decision.
