2014-10-31_1208This weekend on 60 Minutes, an unsolved murder, Melbourne Cup hopes and Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl.

Who Killed Irma?
This Sunday, a murder mystery like no other. Two apparently unrelated crimes, 11 years apart. One is a relatively harmless teenage prank. The other a cowardly murder of a Canberra grandmother. 72 year old Irma Palacsics was bashed and murdered in her own home in 1999. Fifteen years on, the killers probably thought they’d got away with it, but a recent break-in at a local “pitch and putt”, has this cold case warming up. Extraordinary new forensic science has linked the two crimes and, now, a son is about to betray his killer father.

Foo Fighters
Dave Grohl has to be the nicest guy in rock and roll. He’s the front man for Foo Fighters – one of the most successful bands in music history. He’s also a middle aged suburban dad with three beautiful daughters. Now, Foo Fighters are about to release their 8th studio album, Sonic Highways. And Dave, who’s worth a cool $200 million, is riding high. He showed Allison Langdon around his studio, his cars, his hometown and tells stories about Coldplay, Prince Harry, Nirvana and being busted in Australia. Be warned: he’s got a wicked sense of humour and he swears like a trooper.

Tommy and Nathan
On Tuesday, Australia will again stop everything for the Melbourne Cup as 24 horses and jockeys thunder around Flemington. Of course, winning The Cup is the pinnacle of any racing career. And this year, no jockey wants it more than Tommy Berry. But he doesn’t want victory for himself. Tommy is riding for his identical twin brother Nathan, who died earlier this year from an acute form of epilepsy. Nathan was also a jockey and, come Tuesday afternoon, Tommy says they’ll be together in the saddle riding for Cup glory.

  1. @Hoin. How presumptuous of you to assume you know the content will be a replay in regards to the story airing tonight on Tommy Berry and his brother Nathan. The continued dedication this family has exhibited to the racing industry and the horses they care for, ride and train is admired by a strong community of friends, punters and the general public. The Berry family are advocates for many charities and should be highly respected and supported. As for your “dog food” reference from 35 years ago, I’d advise you get off your high horse!!!! Ha ha ha

  2. Melbourne Cup – cue the heart-rending stories and the violins. Remember the jockey who supposedly won it in 2002 for his dead brother? Now a replay. Derryn Hinch put it in perspective in 1979 when he went on air and revealed that the romantic stories in the media about the favourite Dulcify which was put down after collapsing during the race were BS. The media said Dulcify was buried under a spreading oak tree near his home in country Victoria, Hinch revealed the body had been taken to a pet food factory and was turned into dog food. Why do we have to put up with this BS hype about this stupid horse race year after year?
