On Sunday's 60 Minutes, Tara Brown unravels Byron Bay's underbelly while Adam Hegarty reports on a push to ban social media amongst kids.

Messing with Minds
How much more evidence is needed before the message is fully understood that social media is a serious health hazard for young people? Leading researchers like world-renowned U.S. psychologist Professor Jonathan Haidt warn that it's messing with our kids' minds, and in an increasing number of tragic cases, it's killing them. Of course the tech giants who control the social media platforms downplay the dangers, but their views are compromised by the enormous profits they make by having children spend hours and hours on their smartphones. On 60 Minutes, Adam Hegarty investigates calls to do what to many was once unthinkable: Ban social media for the young.

Death in Byron
It might not be the lifestyle for everyone, but 25-year-old Jackson Stacker loved his happy-go-lucky existence. He lived in the moment, thriving on not knowing what each day would bring. Home was a van, and wherever he parked it was where he slept. Without a care, Jackson was roaming around Byron Bay in July 2021 when one night he disappeared. A month later he was found dead. Police said it was likely that he had taken his own life, but his distraught family believe something far more sinister happened. As Tara Brown reports, that's because his skull was discovered 13 metres from his body, and there was a 30-centimetre hunting knife embedded in his chest.

Sunday's 60 Minutes investigates why the Australian Border Force is failing at stopping people smuggling.

Broken Borders
No one disputes that patrolling Australia's extensive sea borders is a difficult job. But it shouldn't be impossible. Off the north-west coasts of Western Australia and the Northern Territory, the task of stopping people trying to enter the country illegally is primarily the responsibility of the Australian Border Force. But in this joint 60 Minutes, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age investigation, Nick McKenzie reports how broken our borders have become because the ABF is failing. The organisation's equipment is sub-standard, at times even dangerous; a fact that has severely impacted its operations. And as a consequence, the people smugglers have again been plying their evil trade.

Unfathomable
If there's one small comfort to be taken from the OceanGate deep-sea submersible disaster, it's that death was instant for the five occupants on board. But a year on from the tragedy, there are still so many unanswered questions. Most fundamentally, why did the strange-looking craft on a mission to the wreck of the Titanic fail so spectacularly? And why, for days on end, was the world wrongly led to believe there was hope for a successful rescue mission? The lack of credible information about what really happened is now becoming increasingly unfathomable, not only for the families of the victims, but also for other undersea explorers like legendary Hollywood director James Cameron. Speaking exclusively to Amelia Adams, Cameron reveals that this is a catastrophe that could and should have been avoided.
