In the Line of Fire
When Sunday Night first introduced Australian war hero Ben Roberts-Smith to audiences earlier this year, he became the subject of a media storm.

Outback Miracle
In a new story by Dr John D’Arcy, Sunday Night ventures into the Australian outback. Julie Young was a Royal Flying Doctor Service nurse, teaching first aid in remote communities, until a horrific desert car crash. Having been trapped in her car for seven hours, her chances of survival were fading with the light – until an unlikely miracle. One by one, her former students found her, and remembered all the life-saving techniques she’d taught them.
Michael J Fox
Viewers were moved when Hollywood’s most inspirational star opened his heart to Sunday Night’s Rahni Sadler about his battle with Parkinson’s disease. Michael J Fox no longer wants to hide his plight, but instead wants to talk about his “charmed life” and his mission to find a cure. Today, signs of Fox’s Parkinson’s symptoms are very noticeable – he even struggles to sip a glass of water – but he is empowered to find a cure and has been inspired by a fellow Aussie sufferer.
The Last Bee Gee
This is the interview in which Barry Gibb broke down and cried for the first time since the tragic loss of his brother Robin. From growing up in Australia, to the magic that saw the Bee Gees sell more than 220 million records around the world, Barry talked to Rahni Sadler about his success, the love of his life and how it feels to be the “last man standing” amongst his brothers – the last Bee Gee.
