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.
