If you're looking for your next investigative podcast, take a listen... One tragic night in 2018, what began as an NRL grand final party in a quiet town on the Queensland coast spiralled into a storm of lies, drunken embellishment and a bungled emergency response. By dawn, two men - Tom Davy & Corey Christensen - were dead, killed by a teenager they’d never met. Seven years on, 60 Minutes’ Adam Hegarty has travelled to Alva Beach to uncover the truth behind one of Australia's most baffling legal cases that raises the burning question: How do two family men lose their lives, and no-one be held accountable? Through new interviews and hours of unheard recordings, this investigation digs deep into a case that still haunts families, confounds lawyers and raises troubling questions about justice in Australia.

The Pacific Championship wraps this weekend with Sunday's decider between the Kiwis and Toa Samoa. The Kiwis dominated Tonga last week in front of a record 39,000 strong crowd at Eden Park, cinching their spot in the final. But even though the Kangaroos aren't involved, the NRL have decided the final will be hosted in Sydney, despite efforts from the New Zealand Rugby League. CEO Greg Peters told Mike Hosking they would've loved to have hosted the whole thing in New Zealand, as the two fixtures we did host were pretty successful. However, he said, the NRL is the big dog in town, and they wanted content in the Australian market ahead of the World Cup, which is being hosted there next year.
