ONE ELLE OF A LIFE
The gods of good looks well and truly singled out Elle Macpherson. And she well and truly made use of the generous attention she received. In the 1980s and 90s, “The Body”, as she was known, was arguably the most photographed Australian in the world. Elle lived in a blinding dazzle of flashes, as she jet-setted between glamourous locations. To outsiders, her supermodel career couldn’t have been more exciting. But looks can deceive. On 60 MINUTES, a very different view of Elle Macpherson as she tells Nine’s Tracy Grimshaw of the hardships she endured, including relationship breakdowns, battles with addiction, and her controversial decision to reject conventional treatment after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

BUILDING BAD
Does Mark Irving KC have the toughest job in Australia? In his first television interview since being appointed administrator of the CFMEU, the senior barrister tells Nick McKenzie how he plans to clean up the corruption-plagued building industry union, and restore focus to its primary function: looking after the rights of thousands of construction workers.

THE REAL KAMALA
No one would ever describe last Wednesday’s Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris as edifying. It was big on bluster, but short on substance; an example of how hurling insults to malign opponents now seems to be the preferred way to influence voters. It’s a skill Donald Trump has certainly turned into an art form, but as the world witnessed, the Vice-President is also no mug at it. For many observers though, Kamala Harris still has a substantial problem to overcome if she’s to be elected President. She needs to do more to convince Americans who she really is. On 60 MINUTES, Amelia Adams travels across the United States meeting the people who know the real Kamala, including old school friends, work colleagues and even a former boyfriend.

THE BLAST WAVE
We ask a lot of our military personnel. If needed, we expect them to make the ultimate sacrifice. In return they deserve to be provided with as much protection as possible. But as Nick McKenzie reports, Australia is failing its front-line fighters. Many troops who fire or come into close contact with heavy weapons and explosives are developing serious brain injuries. By just doing their jobs they are being exposed to repeated high-impact blast waves. And it’s not only happening on the battlefield, it’s also occurring during their training. Worryingly however, keeping our soldiers safe does not seem to be a high priority for defence leadership.

SNEAK PEEK
Yeah. I think Tracy will probably come in to do the big interviews for 60 Minutes. Personally i do think an Australian version of Life Stories would definitely work for her too.
Media Watch said Liz is not expected to return to 60. Where has that been reported?
