60 Minutes (Australian TV program)

60 Minutes is an Australian version of the U.S television newsmagazine that premiered on 11 February 1979. It airs on Sunday nights on the Nine Network and is presented in much the same way as the American 60 Minutes program on which it is based. The New Zealand version of the show has also featured segments of the Australian version.
