Love Trap
It's a crime so malicious it's difficult to understand how anyone could even think of it. It began innocently when a Brisbane flight attendant, Jess, had a chance meeting on an aeroplane with the Australian actor Lincoln Lewis. However, unknown to both of them at the time, this harmless encounter would set off a catastrophic chain of events. Somehow, someone with a particularly warped mind got wind of their friendship, and using social media, assumed Lincoln Lewis' identity, then tricked the young woman into a dangerous long-distance relationship. For more than a decade Jess and other helpless victims lived in fear as they were constantly stalked and harassed. But when detectives finally caught the culprit there was another startling twist. As Tara Brown reports, it's little wonder police now describe this as Australia's worst case of "cat fishing".

Thorpe Control
Where to begin when trying to explain, who is Lidia Thorpe? Maybe a start is to think of her as the Nick Kyrgios of Australian politics. She's edgy, unpredictable, sometimes angry, often funny, and for a politician, refreshingly candid. As Karl Stefanovic discovers in an exclusive interview with the independent Senator, Lidia Thorpe is also hugely committed to her job in the Australian parliament. She tells Stefanovic her drive comes from a tough upbringing which has not only given her resilience, but a will to always fight for the underdog. It's a resolve that might make Australians reassess their view of the controversial politician, and possibly even wish for more Lidia Thorpes in Canberra.

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.
