If you were in Australia in the mid noughties, you’ll probably remember the Robert Farquharson case. 

He was the dad who drove his three sons into a dam on Father’s Day in 2005, supposedly in an act of revenge against his ex-wife.

Faquaruason infamously got out of the car, his three boys did not and drowned. 

A new joint investigation between 60 Minutes, The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald has uncovered new scientific evidence which raises serious questions about what really happened that day. 

Nine Papers investigative reporter, Nick Mckenzie, joins Luke Grant to chat about what experts are saying might have happened that day and if the new evidence is strong enough to warrant a potential re-trial.

You can watch Nick McKenzie’s tantalising report on Channel 9’s 60 Minutes on Sunday 2 June at 8pm.

History was made yesterday when former US President Donald Trump was found guilty by a New York jury of 34 counts of falsifying business records, by using hush money to cover up a relationship with a porn star ahead of the 2016 election. 

Their verdict made him the first ever American President to be convicted of a crime. 

Experts are saying that Trump's most ardent supporters will be emboldened by the decision, however, the jury is split as to how it will affect the views of the all important independent voters. 

Washington Correspondent for the Australian Newspaper Adam Creighton joined Luke Grant to discuss what the verdict means for the election, the politisation that may have underpinned the decision and to answer the question on everyone’s lips: will we see Donald Trump behind bars?
