In this week’s edition of 60 Minutes, Amelia Adams leads coverage of the unrelenting Aussie struggle, as households face rising costs, falling living standards and growing uncertainty.
Also in tonight’s program, Tara Brown then investigates new claims linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch following the release of fresh files.
THE STRUGGLE

For many, watching the decent, hardworking people Amelia Adams meets in this story might be like staring into a mirror. That’s because in reality there are millions of Australians across the nation struggling through times that are beyond tough.
Predictably, the country’s leaders say none of this is their fault; that events out of their control, like war in the Middle East, are having a massive impact on the economy.
Perhaps the politicians are right, perhaps not, but either way it doesn’t ease the significant pain so many are feeling. And it doesn’t pay the bills.

THE EVIL AT ZORRO RANCH
At first glance, the Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, named after the fictional masked crusader, looks like it could be a desert Disneyland. It’s an impressive mansion in a spectacular location.

But the truth couldn’t be starker. The remote property was in fact one of sex predator Jeffrey Epstein’s lairs. And with the release of the damning Epstein Files, the world is learning much more about the horrors that went on there.
As Tara Brown reports, not only was it the alleged scene of sexual abuse against minors and young women, it was where the maniacal Epstein dreamt of developing a designer baby farm. Shockingly, there are even suggestions of bodies buried at the Ranch.
So what did the authorities know about this place? And when?
Reported by Tara Brown and produced by Sammi Taylor.
This episode of 60 Minutes airs tonight, Sunday April 26 at 8.10pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
