Tara Brown (born 14 March 1968) is an Australian television presenter and reporter.
[2] Her most memorable stories for A Current Affair include a series of reports on a group of Australian soldiers returning to Vietnam on the 20th anniversary of the fall of Saigon; uncovering a tyre dumping racket which posed a major environmental threat; and a feature story on refugees in Bei Hai in southern China.
[4][5] In April 2016, Brown and eight other people (including three other staff members of the Nine Network, David Ballment, Stephen Rice, and Ben Williamson)[6] were arrested on allegations of child abduction in Lebanon.
Lebanese judicial sources told The Guardian that the group were to be charged with "armed abduction, purveying threats and physical harm" - crimes which carry sentences of twenty years' imprisonment with hard labour.
[7] She was released from custody only after the Nine Network paid a substantial money settlement to the father of the children, the subject of the attempted abduction.
