DEEP TROUBLE
They had paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the prize for the passengers onboard the OceanGate submersible, Titan, was supposed to be worth every cent. They were promised the chance to visit the most iconic shipwreck in history, the Titanic. But sadly, they never made it. Somewhere along the journey, 3.8 kilometres down into the hostile depths of the north Atlantic Ocean, catastrophe struck. As Amelia Adams reports, valuable lessons must be learned from this tragedy. The brutal reality is this wasn’t an adventure. Rather, like the Titanic, it was a disaster just waiting to happen.

SPUR OF THE MOMENT
English soccer fans are famously passionate, opinionated and knowledgeable. But despite their devotion to the game, until very recently few knew of or cared about Ange Postecoglou. Today it’s a different story. Ange is the first Australian ever to be signed up as the boss of an English Premier League team. But he’s in for a tough time because his new club, Tottenham Hotspur, has been a disaster of late. In desperation the team is hoping the Aussie’s fast and furious style of play, something called Ange-ball, will be what’s needed to turn Spurs’ disappointment into triumph.

THE DUPE OF CAMBRIDGE
How’s this for cheek? Caroline Calloway has become a worldwide internet sensation by being honest about being dishonest. This 31-year-old woman is a brazen, and as Tom Steinfort discovers, quite beguiling fraudster, who has decided to make crime pay by fessing up to it. In her scamming career, Calloway first made her name by lying her way into Cambridge University. Since then she has graduated to even more audacious rip-offs, conning and stealing from a multitude of unsuspecting victims. It’s a sobering indictment, but like it or not, Caroline’s proving that once you’ve had one scandal, you might as well have a thousand.

This is the follow-up to the 60 Minutes report by Tara Brown from a month ago.
This time it touches on Hong Kong Police’s HK$1 million bounty for each of the eight pro-democracy activists, who had fled the city. They are being accused of breaking Hong Kong’s national security law.

HOME TRUTHS
The proud boast at the top of the website for the Department of Home Affairs says: “Home Affairs brings together migration, cyber and infrastructure security, national security and resilience, and border-related functions, working together to keep Australia safe.” However, a joint investigation by 60 MINUTES, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age reveals a very different picture. Nick McKenzie reports significant systemic failings in the department that have compromised Australia’s border security, allowing overseas organised crime gangs access to the country, and making their lucrative trade in violence, drug trafficking, money laundering, corruption, slavery and worker exploitation much easier.

CHINA’S MOST WANTED
China’s crackdown on dissent is getting more extreme – and bizarre – by the day. In an outrageous abuse of power, the pro-Beijing leader of Hong Kong has announced that a bounty has been placed on the heads of eight pro-democracy activists. John Lee says he’ll pay $200,000 for the capture of each one. As Sarah Abo reports, it’s not an idle threat. Lee warns he will hunt the dissidents down and make them suffer for the rest of their days. Thankfully the eight wanted activists have all found refuge outside China, including two who are now in Australia. But that doesn’t lessen the fear they feel.

60 MINUTES MAJOR INTERVIEW
STATE OF THE WORLD
The United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, is the most powerful and influential diplomat in the world. In his only Australian television interview, Blinken speaks with 60 MINUTES reporter Amelia Adams about the vital role Australia must play in maintaining peace in an increasingly dangerous world.
Secretary Blinken, along with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, has been in Brisbane for Australia-U.S. Ministerial Consultations (AUSMIN) with our Foreign Minister Penny Wong, and Defence Minister Richard Marles.
In his 60 MINUTES interview, Blinken provides an update on the war in Ukraine, an assessment of ongoing tensions with China, and closer to home, AUKUS news about those controversial nuclear-powered submarines promised for our navy.
He also issues a blunt warning about what he considers the greatest threat the world faces: climate change.

THE KING’S SECRET
You don’t need to be a rugby league diehard to know Wally Lewis is one of the greatest players of all time. He’s not known as “The King” for nothing. Now though, heavy is the head that wears the crown. As Tom Steinfort reports, the football legend has a secret about the game he loves, which he and his new partner, Lynda Adams, have courageously decided to share with the world.

FULL METAL RACKET
For Australian fans of heavy metal music, there’s no better news than the announcement that iconic bands Def Leppard and Mӧtley Crüe have joined forces and will be touring the country later in the year. In anticipation of their visit, Tara Brown travelled to London for exclusive interviews with both groups. Brown discovered that despite their shared rock legend status, and the stage they share, Def Leppard and Mӧtley Crüe are two very different bands. Together though, they’re proving there’s enormous worldwide demand for the hugely enthusiastic racket they make.

KEEP CLEAR
The Church of Scientology, increasingly labelled a secretive cult, is once again proving why it’s such a contentious organisation. Two months ago, a court in the United States found one of its members, Hollywood actor Danny Masterson, guilty of multiple rapes. As intolerable as that is, what the case also exposed were the extraordinary tactics the Church used to protect its star recruit, and how it cruelly attempted to silence his victims, who themselves were Scientologists. Since then, there have been even more revelations about life inside Scientology, including damning accusations of serious abuses and mob-style operations and attacks. But as Tara Brown reports, taking on an organisation as bullying and belligerent as Scientology comes at a cost.

LIZZO
There are few bigger pop stars in the world right now than classically trained flautist-turned-singer, Lizzo. Her fans love her not just for her music but also for how candid she is. As she says, she’s unapologetically a big, black beautiful woman. But a few days ago, the entertainment world was shocked when the artist was accused of gross hypocrisy. Three of Lizzo’s former back up dancers announced they’re suing her, claiming they were body-shamed and sexually harassed. Lizzo has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, meaning a court will probably determine the veracity of the allegations. Just before this controversy blew up, Tom Steinfort was given an exclusive glimpse behind the scenes of Lizzo’s Australian tour.

THE SINS OF THE TWIN
Long before Chris Dawson was found to be a murderer and a child sex offender, he and his identical twin Paul were minor celebrities around Sydney’s Northern Beaches. The pair was extremely close. They were both handsome rugby league players and models who became high school physical education teachers. But in 1982 Chris murdered his wife Lynette. The crime went unsolved for 40 years, as did the fact he was having an affair with a 16-year-old pupil at the time. In a major 60 MINUTES investigation Tom Steinfort reveals staggering, serious accusations about the other twin, Paul Dawson, namely that back in the 1980s he too was having sex with at least one and possibly more of his underage students.

YES OR NO
It started as a simple and without doubt honourable thought, as well as a long overdue opportunity to do good by recognising indigenous Australians in our nation’s constitution. But then politics took over. The proposed Voice to Parliament is now mired in complication and confusion, with fear being used to fuel its almost certain failure. As Amelia Adams reports, instead of being history-making the referendum is set to be nation-dividing. So how and why did it get to this?

THE CASE AGAINST COSBY
Bill Cosby was much loved not just in America, but right around the world. The comedian’s public persona was unambiguous: as well as being funny, he was a family man through and through, caring and thoughtful. Except, it was a big lie. Cosby was really using the power of his fame for evil. He was a sexual predator who, over decades it’s claimed, assaulted more than 60 vulnerable women. It seems he believed he could get away with anything he wanted. But a very courageous Canadian, Andrea Constand, changed all that. By exposing his wrongdoing, she well and truly wiped the smile off Bill Cosby’s face.

CATCHING A KILLER
It’s a bittersweet truth: the very best of police detective work is likely to be born out of the very worst of mankind. It’s certainly the case when it comes to the investigation into the death of Cecilia Haddad. She was a young Brazilian woman who’d been living in Australia, working as a mining executive, for a number of years. In 2018 she was murdered by a jealous ex-boyfriend, Marcelo Santoro. He was also from Brazil and it’s where he fled to immediately after killing Cecilia. Santoro might have thought by escaping Australia he’d gotten away with his terrible crime, but he was wrong. On assignment for 60 MINUTES, Nine’s Christine Ahern reports that Santoro didn’t count on the determination of New South Wales police officers to bring him to justice.

WORK IN PROGRESS
Anyone aged from their mid-20s to early-40s is considered a millennial. While the group is now the largest generation in Australia, it’s also the most heavily criticised. The flak comes mainly from older generations who are quick to complain that millennials are lazy and entitled, especially in the workplace. Most of them probably couldn’t care less, but as Tom Steinfort reports, many of the millennials’ bosses are not sure how to handle their increasing demands for greater flexibility so they can have the freedom to enjoy acting their age.

DEEP IMPACT
At more than three hundred and sixty billion dollars, the cost for Australia to acquire a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines is beyond substantial. For the money though, the country will get enormous firepower in the form of the most advanced, and lethal, fighting machine humans can build. The politicians who engineered the deal through the AUKUS security pact say we will also obtain something that’s impossible to put a price on: stability in our region. China definitely doesn’t agree, but the theory is that by showing our fighting capability, Australia is really proving how much we want peace. But what are these submarines really like? On 60 MINUTES, Amelia Adams is given very rare permission by the United States Navy to go aboard and test drive one of its incredible attack subs, the Virginia Class USS North Carolina.

THE YEAR OF LIVING CHEAPLY
The belt-tightening endured by the majority of Australians over the past year has caused enormous hardship. Finally though, last Wednesday, there was a glimmer of hope when the latest inflation number turned out to be lower than expected. It means there’s less chance on Tuesday that outgoing Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe’s parting gift to the country will be a thirteenth interest rate rise. It’s a small mercy for many, but for other cash-strapped mortgage holders and renters it’s already too late. And also adding to their economic misery, Tara Brown reports that financial experts are now saying much of this cost-of-living pain could and should have been avoided.

EVIL BEYOND MEASURE
Should a convicted serial killer ever be released from prison? It’s a vexing question. Most people would say no is the only answer, but it’s still one that Victorian authorities have to address. It’s all because of 51-year-old Paul Charles Denyer, an awful man, evil beyond measure. In 1993 he randomly murdered three young women. When he was caught he happily admitted his crimes, taking glee in the act of killing. But thirty years on, he is eligible for parole. Denyer has already applied for his freedom once and been rejected, but as Tara Brown reports, there’s nothing to stop him trying again unless the law is changed.

DARK FORCES
There are no prizes for knowing spies from many countries are active in
Australia. Most of these agents work in the shadows, but there’s one group who seemingly don’t care about secrecy. They’re from Iran, and in defiance of Australian laws they’re doing all they can to silence anyone who speaks out about the oppressive regime in Tehran. Put simply, if someone dares criticise Iran, even on Australian soil, they should prepare for payback. Amelia Adams reports that hundreds of people say they’ve been targeted by these thug-like operatives, and while our government is fully aware of what’s going on, so far they’ve done very little to stop it.
