Allegations of overcharging at one of Australia’s largest aged care providers come under scrutiny on tonight’s 60 Minutes, as Christine Ahern investigates claims vulnerable residents are paying for services they do not need.
Also coming up, Tara Brown explores new reporting that lifts the lid on Donald Trump’s second term inside the White House, with unprecedented behind the scenes insights.
AGE OF GREED
The aged care industry in Australia is big business and many providers are in it to make money. There’s nothing wrong with that. Except when the motivation for profit overtakes consideration for care.
And that seems to be what’s happening at one of the largest companies in the sector, Arcare, which operates 60 residential aged care facilities across the country.
On assignment for 60 MINUTES, Nine’s Christine Ahern reports that Arcare has taken greed to a whole new level. The way this organisation gouges extra sums of money, charging for things its elderly and often vulnerable residents don’t even need or want, is not only staggering, it’s disgraceful.

THE BOOK OF TRUMP
Imagine what it would be like to be a fly on the wall in Donald Trump’s Oval Office; to see and hear if the President’s reputation as a chaotic megalomaniac is warranted, or whether he’s really a considered, albeit misunderstood, statesman.
Well now it’s possible. With the help of impeccable sources, New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan have revealed what is really going on during the President’s second term.
Their book on Trump, Regime Change, takes readers on a wild tour of the White House. From the completely ridiculous, the Donald’s obsession with using superglue to redecorate the place, to the deadly serious: his decisions to take the world to the brink of economic disaster and catastrophic war.
