This Sunday, 60 Minutes offers a potent mix of investigative journalism and political profile, tackling taxi industry misconduct and showing Peter Dutton’s family life.
Reporter Nick McKenzie goes undercover to expose taxi drivers exploiting and abusing customers. The segment includes footage of McKenzie’s own unsettling encounter with a driver after questioning a fare. One wonders if the driver in question realized he was picking a fight with a seasoned investigative journalist – perhaps not the wisest move.
On a lighter note, Karl Stefanovic visits the Dutton family home, interviewing the potential future Prime Minister’s wife and children. With Dutton currently leading Anthony Albanese in preferred Prime Minister polls, this segment offers a timely look at the man behind the politics, particularly as a federal election looms.
The taxi industry exposé aims to highlight the most egregious examples of misconduct within the profession. The Dutton piece attempts to humanise a politician often perceived as aloof and unapproachable. Let’s see if a few home-cooked meals and family photos can soften that image.
McKenzie’s investigation is a joint effort by 60 Minutes, The Age, and The Sydney Morning Herald.
60 Minutes airs Sunday, November 9, 2025, at 8:30pm on Channel 9.
