60 Minutes S2024E27 - Helter Shelter, Uncle Donald, The Menace of the Taipans

Helter Shelter
To keep up with overwhelming demand, the Federal Government says that in the next five years, 1.2 million new homes need to be built. The plan is massively ambitious. Approximately 650 houses and apartments must be completed each and every day from now until mid-2029. In fact, it's a task so mammoth many say the government is dreaming. And that's a substantial problem because, as Dimity Clancey reports, more and more hard-working Australians are becoming more and more desperate for a roof over their heads. It's clear that new thinking is needed.

Uncle Donald
If political ruthlessness and cunning were Olympic events, Donald Trump would surely be glistening in gold. Such is his will to regain the world's top job he has become even more proficient at belittling and slandering anyone who stands in his way. This time around, Trump's campaign for the presidency is setting records for spitefulness, and with 11 weeks still until polling day, there's bound to be plenty more vitriol. On 60 Minutes, Amelia Adams reveals a counter-attack from an unexpected quarter: a member of Trump's own family. Fred Trump has released a damning memoir, which reveals his Uncle Donald is capable of a whole new level of cruelty and nastiness.
