A candid interview with the Morrison family, plus the intriguing story of Chines tennis champion Peng Shuai on 60 Minutes.
MEET THE MORRISONS
It might be brutal, but dreadful is the best way to describe the last few weeks of Scott Morrison’s political life.
And with only a short time before voters decide his future, not even the mythical “Scotty from marketing” would take on the job of trying to repair the PM’s battered reputation. But all is not lost.
Enter Jenny Morrison. As Karl Stefanovic discovers in a revealingly candid interview with the Morrisons, the first lady is forthright, funny, and very relatable – just about everything her husband’s critics claim he isn’t.

DANGEROUS GAME
Rarely, if ever, has the non-attendance of a player at a major tennis tournament been so noticeable or worrying. At the Australian Open in Melbourne last month, Novak Djokovic wasn’t the only missing champion.
Much more sinister was the absence of Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai. Concern about her wellbeing was first raised in November last year when she disappeared almost immediately after publicly accusing a Communist Party leader of sexually assaulting her.
Three weeks later, following a worldwide outcry about her safety, she just as mysteriously re-emerged. Peng Shuai has now been seen at several carefully staged-managed events, including the Winter Olympics in Beijing, but as Tom Steinfort reports, her reappearance has done little to convince the world she’s OK.
