60 Minutes: Oct 7

60 Minutes had a very odd promo this week where it felt necessary to superimpose the dialogue by Liz Hayes and Stormy Daniels onto the screen, despite the fact that both were speaking the Queen’s English.

Stormy
When Americans voted Donald Trump their president, it wasn’t difficult to predict that things were going to get bumpy. It turns out they also got stormy – Stormy Daniels that is. She’s the stripper and porn star whose claim about having a one-night stand with Mr Trump back in 2006 has the potential to undermine the authority – and credibility – of the most powerful man in the world. He says it’s not true and accuses Stormy of extortion, but as he’s now discovering, she is a woman not to be messed with, or silenced. On 60 Minutes, Stormy Daniels reveals how 90 seconds of what she describes as “the least impressive” sex she has ever had has led to one of the most titillating political scandals in United States history.

The Answer
When it comes to our children’s education, is there a more divisive argument than private versus public schooling? The answer is yes. But far more polarising is the question of whether kids do better in single sex or co-educational classes, and every parent has an opinion. In Australia it seems boys-only or girls-only schools are on the way out, with the co-education lobby determined to make them history within 20 years. But Liam Bartlett asks, is this a cause for celebration or concern?

Girl Power
At six foot two (1.87 metres), weighing a hundred kilos and blessed with a mighty kicking boot, Hannah Mouncey should have been a shoo-in to play at the elite level of the women’s Australian rules competition, the AFLW. But late last year the AFL said no, deciding she was too much of a physical threat to her opponents. Hannah believes there is another reason: the fact she was born a boy, not a girl. Her case highlights the difficulties many transgender athletes face. Since being rejected, Hannah has been considering whether to reapply for the Women’s AFL. Now she has come to a decision.
