DATE WITH DISASTER
It used to be relatively easy. When love was in the air, those lucky enough to be touched by it simply got on with working out its wonder. Now though, love is just as likely to be searched for on a computer or smart phone, and while there are many, many success stories, this is not one of them.
That’s because online match-making has been well and truly hijacked by evil. Internet dating has led to an unprecedented rise in sexual violence.
As Amelia Adams reports, it’s a wave of crime so extensive and so serious that experts are likening it to a second global pandemic.

DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME
Mischievous doesn’t begin to describe identical twins Danny and Michael Philippou when they were growing up. Too full of naughty energy, they made their parents’ lives hell with their silly – and often dangerous – pranks. As they got older, the little ratbags turned into bigger ratbags. And guess what?
They figured out there were rewards to be had with tomfoolery. Big rewards. First it was going viral and entertaining millions of subscribers on YouTube. Now it’s making it even bigger in Hollywood.
The brothers are just about to release their second feature film, and like everything else they do, this one comes with a warning. Don’t try this at home!

EVIL SPIRIT
When, last November, 19-year-old best friends from Melbourne, Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles, died in Laos after consuming drinks laced with methanol, Australians were shocked. For the girls’ families, six months on the heartbreak continues, as does the anger they feel towards Lao officials who still haven’t directly contacted them to explain what happened and why.
But on 60 MINUTES, Tara Brown reveals now, finally, there may be a significant development in the investigation.
