Prime Minister Scott Morrison has delivered a national apology to the thousands of victims of child sexual abuse.

In a lengthy address to parliament Mr Morrison acknowledged and apologised for the harm victims of child sexual abuse have been caused.

At some points during the emotional address it seemed as if the prime minister had to regain his composure, with many other politicians seen wiping away tears.
