60 Minutes is a popular Australian current affairs program based on the U.S. version of the same name. Featuring many noted Australian journalists over the years, the current presenters include Liam Bartlett, Tara Brown, Liz Hayes and Peter Overton.
In a 60 Minutes special report, hospitality workers speak out about the culture and conduct at some of Australia's best known restaurants.
Out of Order
The hospitality industry in Australia is worth one hundred billion dollars. It employs a million people, many of them young Australians. There's no question it's a big deal for our economy. But in some of the best-known venues, behind the welcoming smiles of restaurant maître d's and the brilliance of barmen and women concocting cocktails, things are completely out of order. In fact, what's really going on in these places is shocking and disgraceful. There are accusations of sexual harassment, assaults, rampant drug abuse and staff being ripped off by bosses. In a joint investigation by 60 Minutes, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Eryk Bagshaw reveals damning allegations from inside the empires built by three of Australia's highest-flying restaurateurs.

Truth Bomb
For far too long senior leaders in the Australian military have been derelict in their duty to adequately combat a massive problem, the existence of enemies within. Specifically, they're the men in uniform, who for years, have perpetrated, and in many cases gotten away with sexual crimes against their female colleagues. On 60 Minutes, current and former servicewomen say they've had enough of the abuse and are refusing to suffer in silence any longer. They want Australia to know the full extent of the mistreatment and misogyny they've been forced to endure to serve their country. This joint 60 Minutes, The Age and Sydney Morning Herald investigation, reported by Nick McKenzie, is a truth bomb for the Australian Defence Force's top brass, and one that must prompt immediate action.

Millions of Australians love Bali. And why not? It's a stunning place. But a thirst for sun and fun in paradise can hide a sobering truth. The reality is that safety standards in Bali are not what they are here, and when things go wrong, they go really wrong. In March a group of 11 tourists, including Australians, took a boat trip to go snorkelling. No one had any reason to fear danger, until the vessel they were on suddenly capsized. Anna Blight, a 39-year-old Melbourne woman, died and many of the others onboard were injured. On 60 Minutes, Amelia Adams reveals graphic accounts of a tragedy that survivors say could – and should – have been avoided. In Bali, she also tracks down the boat owners and tour operators to get answers about how and why this disaster happened.

The Unlucky Country
When it comes to insuring our homes and businesses, Australia is fast becoming the unlucky country. According to the Climate Council, right now 750,000 properties are considered to be at high risk of damage or destruction from natural disasters. Another million and a half face a greater than moderate danger. The numbers are extraordinary, and extraordinarily distressing for homeowners. Many are now being refused insurance, and for those who can get cover, premiums are skyrocketing, often by tens of thousands of dollars a year. But while battling Australians face heartbreak and hardship, not so the insurance companies. On assignment for 60 Minutes, Nine's Christine Ahern reports how last year they collectively made more than six billion dollars in profits.

Life of the Party
After near annihilation by the ALP at the federal election in May, who would now want to be Liberal Party leader? It's a job many say only a mug would take on. Sussan Ley however sees opportunity in failure. And as the first woman to lead the Libs, which also makes her Australia's first female Opposition Leader, she's probably right, because her party's current state is so grim that up is really the only direction to go. On Tuesday, parliament resumes for the first time since the election, with Ley preparing to battle a supremely confident Anthony Albanese. But the emboldened Prime Minister needs to remember that as a migrant, a mother and grandmother, a former farmer, a punk rocker and a pilot, Sussan Ley packs an arsenal that goes well beyond gender and politics.
