Nine Network’s current affairs program 60 Minutes tackles online dating dangers, viral pranksters turned filmmakers, and a tragic international mystery in its upcoming episode. The installment airs Sunday, May 18, at 8:30 PM AEST.
The episode features three distinct segments. In “Date with Disaster,” reporter Amelia Adams investigates the rise of sexual violence linked to online dating apps. “Don’t Try This at Home” sees Dimity Clancey profile mischievous twins Danny and Michael Philippou, who have parlayed their prank videos into Hollywood success and are reportedly set to release their second feature film. Finally, in “Evil Spirit,” Tara Brown provides developments in the investigation into the deaths of two Melbourne teenagers in Laos, including the families’ frustration with Lao officials over a lack of communication.
60 Minutes is the Australian iteration of the long-running U.S. newsmagazine.
