S2024 E38 Charlotte's Wish, Sucked In
本集简介

CHARLOTTE'S WISH
If the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has his way, from the end of next year children under 16 will be banned from social media. That's right, for Australian kids, soon there will be no more access to Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and all those other addictive apps. Taking on the world's tech giants is a bold move by the government, and there are valid questions about how such a ban might be enforced. As Adam Hegarty reports, if anyone needs a compelling reason for urgent action, they need only know the confronting and tragic story of 12-year-old Charlotte O'Brien. She was a victim of cruel bullying, much of it delivered online, and it was her wish that Australians understand the truth: Social media can kill.

SUCKED IN
It's hardly surprising, but once again Australians have been sucked in by the duplicity of "Big Tobacco" and its apologists. When that industry could no longer lie about the deadly effects of cigarettes, it promised to clean up its act. Its bosses started promoting vaping as an easy aid to quit smoking. But we now know that claim has turned out to be another untruth. What vapes have really done is hook a new generation – children – on nicotine. After years of indifference, the federal government has finally woken up to the ruse by introducing tough new laws making it illegal to import or sell vapes. However, in a joint investigation by 60 MINUTES, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Eryk Bagshaw discovers Canberra's crackdown on these products might already be too late to be effective.

The Art of the Victory, Vote 1 for 2, Facing the World

The Art of the Victory
What a campaign. What an election. What a result. To the victor, Donald Trump, go the spoils. From early next year he will return to the White House for another four years as the most powerful man on earth. And for someone with such an unpredictable and egotistical nature, that old saying "We live in interesting times" couldn't be more apt. On 60 MINUTES, Amelia Adams reports from Washington DC on the impact of Donald Trump's return to the Oval Office on Australia and the rest of the world.

Vote 1 for 2
What Lucy Bradlow and Bronwen Bock want to do is either brilliant or bonkers. They reckon they can make Australian politics better by offering themselves up in a two-for-one deal. That's right, they want to job-share the position of senator. But as Adam Hegarty reports, their proposal raises many questions. The most obvious is what happens when, if elected, these wannabe part-timers disagree on an issue? Quite unlike politicians, they say don't worry, they'll work out their differences amicably. So, should we believe them and start planning to Vote 1 for 2? Or is this a case of double equals trouble?

Facing the World
Few people have endured such extreme levels of pain, both physical and emotional, as Stephanie Browitt. Five years ago, she suffered horrendous burns when the White Island volcano in New Zealand erupted. It was a tragedy that killed her dad Paul and sister Krystal, as well as 20 others. Since then, Steph has fought daily to recover and reclaim her life. One of the obstacles she's faced has been an ongoing legal battle with Royal Caribbean, the cruise ship company that sent passengers on an excursion to the volcano the day it blew up. Now, as Sarah Abo reports, finally and thankfully, there has been a significant development in the case.

Villains or Victims?, Get Shorty

Villains or Victims?
Back when it happened, greed was the simple explanation that went with the headlines. Lyle and Erik Menendez had shot dead their wealthy parents in the family's Beverly Hills mansion to get their hands on a $14 million inheritance. Of course, the brothers denied that was the case. In court they said they killed because their evil father had been sexually abusing them. But they weren't believed. Found guilty, the pair were sentenced to life behind bars, without parole. Now though, 35 years later, Tara Brown reports there's not only new evidence but enormous support from armchair detectives around the world who are convinced the Menendez brothers really are victims, not villains. So should they be freed?

Get Shorty
Rotting in prison for decades now, Stephen "Shorty" Jamieson's file is marked "Never to be released". He is one of Australia's most reviled criminals, because in 1988 Jamieson was the ringleader of group of young thugs who abducted, raped and murdered 20-year-old Janine Balding. It was a truly shocking crime. But Jamieson has always denied any involvement in the murder, repeatedly saying he wasn't even there. Most people would easily dismiss the pleas of a despised murderer, but as Nick McKenzie reports, a number of eminent experts have listened. They've been reviewing Stephen "Shorty" Jamieson's file and are now questioning his conviction.
