60 Minutes on Channel 9 and 9Now S46E33 profiles George Negus – with reports from Tara Brown and Adam Hegarty will air Sunday 20 October at 8.40pm on 9 and 9Now.
BEING BORIS
As unlikely as it sounds, there was a time during Boris Johnson’s term as British Prime Minister when he was hailed an action hero because he achieved the seemingly impossible. He made Brexit a reality, then, when COVID struck, saved thousands of lives by overseeing the fastest rollout of vaccines anywhere in the world.
But as leader, Johnson also made so many mistakes and enemies that he was ultimately dismissed as a bumbling buffoon and forced from office. Now he’s back, setting the record straight in his provocatively titled memoir, Unleashed.
In an at-times bizarre, but always entertaining 60 MINUTES interview with Tara Brown, Johnson reveals long-held secrets, including his sneaky role in AUKUS, why he seriously considered invading the Netherlands, and his final moments with the Queen.

KICKING GOALS
Representing the nation is an honour many Australians dream of but few achieve. For those lucky enough to experience it, there’s no better feeling. It’s especially so when it comes to sport, because wearing the green and gold often means athletes also become celebrities.
But there’s a national team of very inspirational Aussies that you probably wouldn’t know. They’re the “Street Socceroos”, eight homeless Australians who defied the odds and did us proud at the so-called Homeless World Cup.
It’s a 38-country football competition proving that even those who are doing it the toughest, can still kick life-changing goals.
