Running Australia is a big job. But if you think it’s the government of the day in Canberra that’s calling all the shots, after seeing this story you might think again. Tonight, in a joint investigation with the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, we expose the highly inappropriate actions of one of our most senior public servants. Michael Pezzullo is the boss of Home Affairs, the department responsible for Australia’s national security. He’s supposed to be independent and apolitical but as you’ll see, that’s not the way he operates. Pezzullo has been wielding extraordinary power from the shadows, interfering in government and doing all he can to build an impenetrable empire. For over forty years, 60 Minutes have been telling Australians the world’s greatest stories. Tales that changed history, our nation and our lives. Reporters Liz Hayes, Tom Steinfort, Tara Brown, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Adams look past the headlines because there is always a bigger picture. Sundays are for 60 Minutes. #60MinutesAustralia
