Episodes
Australian Story Returns to ABC TV Monday 5 September
Australian Story, the acclaimed documentary series without a narrator and without agendas, is back with more real tales told entirely in the subjects’ own words. They are occasionally well-known, occasionally contentious, but always compelling. You can count on this television to get you thinking and feeling.
The episode airing tonight tells the tale of how former Wallabies captain and rugby union titan David Pocock has come to play a crucial role in Canberra. In the Upper House, an important vote is held by the newly elected Independent senator for the ACT. Can he uphold his principles?
Then over the next few months, the series tells the incredible stories of a firefighter who fought to expose a toxic chemical in his workplace … and then, without any medical training, came up with a treatment to help his mates; the insurance executive who gambled his redundancy payout on a ‘crazy’ idea to create a music festival in the desert; how a bunch of Byron Bay surfers became one of the most successful heavy metal bands in the world: Parkway Drive ; and more.

Airdate: Monday 5 September 2022 at 8.00pm on ABC TV.
