Bondi Massacre
An interview with the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who says the Bondi Junction stabbing attack has "shocked the nation."
"So many families would've been out and about yesterday," Albanese told 60 Minutes.
"It's a very large shopping centre that I'm very familiar with, and the thought that people have lost their lives and many others injured, and of course thousands traumatised by the events of yesterday directly, comes as a great shock in a peace-loving nation like Australia."
Albanese said he has spoken to some of the families of the five women and one man who have died.
Three more people are critical in hospital.
Albanese praised some of the heroes who tried to stop the attacker.
"I believe that tragically amidst the carnage and the atrocity that was yesterday, we do have as well to give thanks to some of the best of our Australian character that was shown," he said.

Couldn't Care Less
It's not a proud boast, but this Sunday 60 Minutes will broadcast what is without doubt some of the cruellest, most horrific vision ever seen on Australian television. It's part of a major investigation by Tara Brown focusing on shocking accusations that disability support workers were mistreating a vulnerable person they were employed to look after. However, instead of caring for the woman, their attitude and actions screamed that they couldn't care less. As Brown reveals, the workers smugly assumed that because the victim was unable to speak, their abuse would go undetected. But they were proved wrong when, in an extraordinary act of love, the woman's elderly parents took the law into their own hands and used a hidden camera to expose the terrible truth.

Saving Paradise
If you were to imagine the perfect tropical paradise – sunny skies, sparkling warm water and pristine beaches – Tuvalu is as close to it as anywhere on Earth. The country is a narrow strip of tiny islands halfway between Australia and Hawaii that's made all the more special by its isolation. Yet for all its wonder, the people of Tuvalu are facing a devastating threat. Rising sea levels mean their home is disappearing. And what's really frightening is how quickly it's happening. But as Adam Hegarty reports, all is not lost yet. On 60 MINUTES, he travels to Tuvalu to meet the ingenious Australians who are working to raise the height of the island in an extraordinary engineering feat that also has significant political implications.
