Hypocrites?

That’s putting it mildly.

Though I imagine money talks and Nine’s happy to flip flop to Tik Tok if they butter their bread.

60 MINUTES

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, AT 8.30PM ON CHANNEL 9 & 9NOW

GONE GIRL
On 60 MINUTES, startling developments in a confounding 30-year mystery, the disappearance and likely murder of Revelle Balmain. Back in 1994, Revelle, then 22, was making a career as a model and dancer but she was also keeping a secret. To earn extra money she worked as an escort. When she vanished one night in November that year suspicion fell on her last client, the last person to see her alive. At the time there wasn’t enough evidence to bring charges, so the case gathered dust until a fresh team of detectives was assigned to investigate. Now they reveal a major breakthrough. As Tara Brown reports, they’ve uncovered new clues and new persons of interest. And for those who knew and loved Revelle, that means there’s finally genuine hope for long-awaited answers.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
One-time sitcom actor and well-known devotee of Scientology, Danny Masterson, is now also a convicted rapist. Last week he was jailed for 30 years for drugging and sexually assaulting two women in 2003. Masterson’s trial attracted enormous attention, not only because of his fame and violent crimes. The Church of Scientology was also condemned, accused of going to extraordinary lengths to protect its star recruit from prosecution. But what’s been revealed since Masterson’s sentencing is causing more controversy. The disgraced actor received substantial support from fellow Hollywood celebrities including Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. In letters to the judge asking for leniency for Masterson, the married couple described their friend more like a saint than a sinner. They said he was a role model and an exceptional character. Not surprisingly their comments have caused outrage.

ROAD TO RUIN
It was a crash that never should have happened. Melissa Oates was drunk when she got behind the wheel. Then, speeding down the road, her car hit and killed her boyfriend, Jari Wise. But remarkably, Oates claimed the collision wasn’t her fault because he jumped out in front of her. As Tom Steinfort first reported last year, Jari’s mother, Faith Tkalac, has always disputed that story, and has been pushing for a coronial inquiry. Now her persistence has paid off.

Does Liz Hayes still present any stories on 60mins?
I haven’t seen her do one in ages, I know she’s still in the opening titles too.

Tom and Tara seem to do 80% of the stores

Granted she has her own series but just curious.

I don’t think I’ve seen her on 60 for months.

It’s mainly Tom, Tara, Amelia and Nick doing the rounds, along with the occasional contribution from Karl and others like Christine Ahern recently.

Maybe she’s decided to quietly step back and focus on Under Investigation?

And understandable if she has. Maybe they have kept her on the shows lineup to maintain the gravitas and experience?

I know her ratio of stories dropped back over the past few years but yeah I haven’t seen her do a full 60 story in yonks.

If, and let’s say if that is the case with Liz, I think it would be great for Nine to get Tracy Grimshaw onto 60 Minutes permanently into the future,

Well, as she explains to Tara Brown in a delightful interview, she has decided to hell with being hilarious, she’s going to turn her attention to her failings. There’s only one problem though.

COPS VS CARTELS
More than a million Australians use cocaine every year. The white powder costs more than gold, but it’s a price that consumers are happy to pay. Happier still are the bosses of the international drug cartels who are reaping enormous riches, despite state and federal law enforcement agencies doing all they can to stop cocaine getting into the country. How the officers go about their work is mostly done in secret. But not always. On 60 MINUTES, Sarah Abo goes inside the Australian Border Force battle to outwit the criminals responsible for smuggling massive amounts of illegal narcotics.

FOR DAD
The very best athletes in the world all know success is not achieved without pain. The relentless preparation and training needed to make it to the top of any sport hurts. But the agony Australia’s backstroke golden girl, Kaylee McKeown, has endured is much more than physical. Three years ago, on the cusp of her Olympic debut, her dad Sholto died. The heartbreak of losing him could so easily have ended Kaylee’s swimming career. Instead, she did something remarkable. On assignment for 60 MINUTES, Nine’s Sylvia Jeffreys reports how Kaylee turned her sorrow into a superhuman strength.

A 60 MINUTES SPECIAL

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, AT 8.40PM ON CHANNEL 9 & 9NOW

MEET THE MATILDAS
To be honest, until a few months ago the mere mention of women’s soccer in Australia left most people shrugging their shoulders. But then something truly incredible happened. The World Cup came to town and the nation fell in love with the Matildas. In an instant, their star power grew so large that only first names were necessary to know them. Sam, Mary, Caitlin, Mackenzie and the others amazed everyone with their skill. And they didn’t only fill stadiums. One of their matches was the most watched event ever on Australian television. Now, on a special 60 MINUTES assignment, reporter and football fanatic Tom Steinfort embarks on an excellent adventure to catch up with the Matildas. He travels to the United Kingdom and across Europe to discover if the team has been able to turn its winter of wonder down under into even greater glory.
