60 Minutes S2025E24 - Hell in Bali

Millions of Australians love Bali. And why not? It's a stunning place. But a thirst for sun and fun in paradise can hide a sobering truth. The reality is that safety standards in Bali are not what they are here, and when things go wrong, they go really wrong. In March a group of 11 tourists, including Australians, took a boat trip to go snorkelling. No one had any reason to fear danger, until the vessel they were on suddenly capsized. Anna Blight, a 39-year-old Melbourne woman, died and many of the others onboard were injured. On 60 Minutes, Amelia Adams reveals graphic accounts of a tragedy that survivors say could – and should – have been avoided. In Bali, she also tracks down the boat owners and tour operators to get answers about how and why this disaster happened.
