S2024E34 - Beautiful Lilie, Sonny Boy

BEAUTIFUL LILIE
At 21, Lilie James was busy doing all the things people do at that young age. Studying, working, playing, she was on the threshold of a promising life. But, tragically, last October this beautiful and vivacious woman was savagely beaten to death in the gymnasium of the school where she had a part-time job. The level of violence was shocking – so too was the identity of the man who killed her. Paul Thijssen, 24, Lilie's ex-boyfriend and co-worker at the school, was by all accounts a model citizen. That he could commit such a heinous crime was inconceivable to most who knew him. On 60 MINUTES, Tara Brown speaks exclusively to Lilie James' heartbroken parents, and delves into Thijssen's well-hidden past to unmask the truth about this violent and cruel killer.

SONNY BOY
It was an offer Karl Stefanovic couldn't refuse: An interview with the godfather of modern cinema, Al Pacino. The movie megastar might now be 84, but he remains a force of nature, even recently becoming a father for the fourth time. In fact, as Stefanovic reports, that joyous event was the impetus Pacino needed to look back and, finally, write his long-awaited memoir. Titled Sonny Boy, it is – as everyone would expect – as gritty and intense as many of his explosive on-screen characters. What's perhaps less expected, though, is that the real Al Pacino is also incredibly funny and disarmingly down to earth.

S2024E35 - The Invisible Deaths, The Kids

THE INVISIBLE DEATHS
It's a national disgrace. This year in Australia, every six days on average, a woman has been killed in a domestic violence incident. As shameful as that number is, however, it's likely to be only a fraction of the true death toll. The reality is there are potentially hundreds more women losing their lives, but their deaths are not being investigated and so not counted. On 60 MINUTES, Dimity Clancey reports the heart-breaking stories of the invisible victims.

THE KID
If cramming a lot of life into a very short time was a competition, smart people would put money on The Kid Laroi to win easily. At 21, he's already an over-achiever. There's the worldwide adulation he's received as a singer and rapper, as well as the lavish trappings that such success brings. But as Adam Hegarty discovered in a very revealing interview, this young Australian's greatest accomplishment is something else entirely. For The Kid Laroi, it's having the strength to believe in his talent, and knowing how to drag himself out of a "down and out" existence in Sydney to pursue a dream most people would regard as impossible.

S2024E36 - The Art of the Victory, Vote 1 for 2, Facing the World

THE ART OF THE VICTORY
What a campaign. What an election. What a result. To the victor, Donald Trump, go the spoils. From early next year he will return to the White House for another four years as the most powerful man on earth. And for someone with such an unpredictable and egotistical nature, that old saying "We live in interesting times" couldn't be more apt. On 60 MINUTES, Amelia Adams reports from Washington DC on the impact of Donald Trump's return to the Oval Office on Australia and the rest of the world.

VOTE 1 FOR 2
What Lucy Bradlow and Bronwen Bock want to do is either brilliant or bonkers. They reckon they can make Australian politics better by offering themselves up in a two-for-one deal. That's right, they want to job-share the position of senator. But as Adam Hegarty reports, their proposal raises many questions. The most obvious is what happens when, if elected, these wannabe part-timers disagree on an issue? Quite unlike politicians, they say don't worry, they'll work out their differences amicably. So, should we believe them and start planning to Vote 1 for 2? Or is this a case of double equals trouble?

FACING THE WORLD
Few people have endured such extreme levels of pain, both physical and emotional, as Stephanie Browitt. Five years ago, she suffered horrendous burns when the White Island volcano in New Zealand erupted. It was a tragedy that killed her dad Paul and sister Krystal, as well as 20 others. Since then, Steph has fought daily to recover and reclaim her life. One of the obstacles she's faced has been an ongoing legal battle with Royal Caribbean, the cruise ship company that sent passengers on an excursion to the volcano the day it blew up. Now, as Sarah Abo reports, finally and thankfully, there has been a significant development in the case.
