Five Little Heroes/Breaking Ice/Jane’s Legacy 60 Minutes : Season 2015 Episode 31

Five Little Heroes This week on 60 Minutes we meet five extraordinary children. These young heroes saved their mother’s life – and their own – from an armed intruder. What makes this story even more heartbreaking, the armed intruder was their father. Every week in Australia one woman is killed by her partner. Domestic violence is a frightening scourge. Usually the stories we hear are told by women – their tales of survival and resilience. But we never hear from the children, the silent victims of family violence. This Sunday we see the story from the eyes of five incredibly courageous kids who saved their mother’s life. Reporter: Tara Brown Producer: Gareth Harvey, Grace Tobin Breaking Ice The ice epidemic is gripping Australia, and despite everything that has been said and written about the dangers that come with the drug, the crisis is only spreading. It seems impossible to stop, but there is hope for those lucky enough to get help. However, the severe shortage of rehabilitation places means only those who pay can get saved. The rest are forgotten – until they crash a car or murder an innocent victim. This Sunday 60 Minutes goes inside the rehab centres to see how lives and families are being saved. It’s a crucial development in this war on ice, because we’re all at risk and this war will take a lot more time and money to win. Reporter: Allison Langdon Producer: Steven Burling Jane’s Legacy In life, Jane McGrath was an inspiration. A beautiful and courageous champion for women with breast cancer. Her passion for helping others led to the McGrath Foundation, which funds much needed breast care nurses, especially in regional Australia. The Foundation is celebrating 10 years and now a host of pink nurses support and care for breast cancer patients right across the country. It is an extraordinary achievement, and seven years after we lost Jane McGrath, her legacy and her compassion is alive and present. Reporter: Charles Wooley P
