This Sunday, Nine’s 60 Minutes delivers a double dose of stories, tackling both raw human grief and political controversy. In a rare and poignant interview, Tracy Grimshaw sits down with Australian business leader John Singleton, marking only her second appearance on the program since departing A Current Affair. The subject: the tragic loss of Singleton’s daughter, Dawn, in the Westfield Bondi Junction shopping centre attack almost exactly one year prior.
Singleton’s words are raw, his despair palpable. He’s had enough, he tells Grimshaw, expressing skepticism about the upcoming coronial inquest into the tragedy that claimed the lives of Dawn and five others at the hands of mentally unstable attacker, Joel Cauchi. It’s a side of Singleton rarely seen, stripped of the public swagger, a father grappling with unimaginable loss.
Plus Amelia Adams takes the helm for “The First Buddy,” examining the surprising and controversial role of Elon Musk as head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency. Musk, never one to shy away from disruption, has taken a chainsaw to the American bureaucracy, decimating swathes of government agencies. Adams explores the fallout from these drastic measures, examining the consequences – intended or otherwise – of Musk’s actions.
60 Minutes airs this Sunday, June 8th at 8:50pm on Nine.
