Nick McKenzie is the new star of 60 Minutes, with two stories this Sunday night.
McKenzie also fronted big stories on the Victorian government and Crown Casino.
Foreign Interference
On Friday, federal agents under the direction of counter espionage authority ASIO, conducted an extraordinary raid on the home and office of New South Wales Labor MP, Shaoquett Moselmane. Investigators were searching for evidence of any involvement by Moselmane in a plot by China to interfere in Australia’s political system. It’s thought to be the first time a serving member of an Australian parliament has been investigated over allegations of being influenced by a hostile foreign state. Reporting for 60 Minutes, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Nick McKenzie was there for the raid and says the agents clearly knew what they were looking for. McKenzie, who for months has also been observing Moselmane’s pro-China activities, warns this operation will have far-reaching consequences both here and in Beijing.

Madeleine
The disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine McCann has been a heart-breaking mystery. For 13 years, ever since she went missing on a family holiday in Portugal, her beautiful face has haunted the world. In that time her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann have never stopped searching for answers about their daughter. They’ve also never stopped hoping she’s still alive. Now there is news, but it’s not good. German prosecutors say they know Maddie is dead and they have the prime suspect, a known sex offender, in their sights. On 60 Minutes, Liz Hayes reports on the depraved world of 43-year-old Christian Bruckner. Her story includes the first pictures from inside his secret lair, as well as comprehensive analysis of the investigation to ensure justice for Madeleine McCann.

Dusty’s War
Every front-line soldier knows war is hell. It’s an enormous responsibility to pick out an enemy fighter, aim a weapon at them and then pull the trigger knowing death is the likely result. That’s why in conflict there are very specific rules of engagement. For the last four years, a secret inquiry – the biggest in Australian military history – has been investigating whether soldiers from our elite special forces broke those rules and committed war crimes in Afghanistan. On 60 Minutes, Nick McKenzie reveals new information about the shameful conduct of some of our elite fighters. One shocking incident involves former SAS medic Dusty Miller, a good man traumatised by the savagery he says a fellow soldier inflicted on an injured, unarmed Afghan civilian.

Interesting because they had Ross Coulthart doing the nitty gritty stores but they axed him years back.
Hes a babe ❤️
Yes he is. A real good find for 60 minutes. Used to be on the ABC’s Four Corners sometimes.
Wow they didn’t waste any time did they? They really have it in for Labor at the moment. When’s Glady’s Liu’s office going to be raided? When are they going to investigate corruption in our Govt? Plenty of material there. Get your act together 60 Minutes.
whataboutism?
OMG, it was a raid by the AFP and ASIO. Should they just ignore that fact since it’s a Labor MP?
Perhaps a politically motivated raid, just as the ABC and Anika Smethurst raids appeared to be.
Plenty of material? Ok here’s your opportunity. Go for it. What is it?
