Building Bad
The Big Build in Victoria is a massive infrastructure scheme, largely financed by the public purse. It should be a source of massive pride, especially for Victorian Labor Premier Jacinta Allan. Instead, it's a massive scam, one of the largest in Australian history, where gangland figures and other crooks have ripped off billions of dollars from the taxpayer. Of course, claims of corruption on the Big Build are not new. On 60 Minutes, and in The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, Nick McKenzie has been reporting on the blatant wrongdoing for two years, but now he has uncovered why very little has been done to stop it.

An Injection of Truth
For the believers, peptides are a modern medical miracle, the easy answer to so many health concerns. Want to lose weight? No worries, there's a peptide for that. Need to slow the ageing process? Take a peptide. It's the same if you want to heal faster from injuries, get shinier hair or even a better tan. As Adam Hegarty reports, there are some very serious caveats though. Most peptides in Australia are illegal, and only available on the black market. As well, many doctors and scientists warn not enough research has been done on them yet. But for anyone who thinks that's enough to slow down their uptake, this story is both an intriguing, and frightening, injection of truth.

On 7News Spotlight Ashlee Mullany reports on difficulties in conception, sperm donation, desperate measures and legalities.

Making a family doesn't come easily for everyone, and for some Australians it's becoming almost impossible.

As the nation's donor shortages increase and regulations tighten, hopeful parents are being forced into expensive, complex, and in some cases risky alternatives, in their attempts to conceive.

In this week's 7NEWS Spotlight to air on Sunday at 8.30pm on Seven and 7plus, correspondent Ashlee Mullany investigates the growing fallout from Australia's strict sperm donation laws, and the unintended consequences now driving a booming underground market.

With demand far outstripping supply, desperate Australians are turning to private donors operating outside the system – a shadowy underground market with no limits, no oversight and no guarantees.

7NEWS Spotlight reveals the confronting reality of this booming trade, where some black market donors claim to have fathered hundreds of children, raising serious ethical and safety concerns, especially for the children born as a result.

As calls for reform grow louder, this is a powerful look at the cost of the system as it stands, and the deeply personal toll on those who are desperately trying to start a family.
