The GoPro Revolution
They’ve revolutionised the way we see our world and created a new breed of film makers who are as crazy as they are daring. GoPro cameras are tiny; small enough to be attached to a bird, strapped to a base jumper’s helmet or swallowed by a shark. The video they produce is, quite simply, extraordinary. You feel like you’re right there in the middle of the action. As you’ll see it’s one wild ride but a ride you can safely enjoy from the comfort of your own sofa.

Stopping the Clock
It’s the great dilemma of young women everywhere – how to build a successful career, without missing out on motherhood. Now, doctors have found a new way for women to have babies well into middle age and beyond. This revolutionary procedure is called ovarian tissue freezing. It quite literally puts a woman’s biological clock on ice. But here in Australia, the surgery is considered so controversial, it’s only available to cancer patients; women who are left infertile by the very treatment that saves their lives.

Driving Blind
Right now, a young driver – probably a man – is about to make a potentially lethal decision. He’s blind drunk and he knows it. But he’s going to get behind the wheel of his car anyway. The terrifying thing is he’s probably done it before. And, worse still, there are others in the car in search of a good time. Gaol, stiff fines, the constant scare campaigns – nothing, it seems, can stop this stupidity. The result is carnage. A rising toll of young people killed and seriously injured. And behind the appalling statistics are shattered families. Look into the eyes of Ebony Dunsworth’s parents and, like us, you’ll despair.

  1. We can relate to this.Our beautiful 16 yr old son Chase was taken also by a 42 yr old drunken driver who drove at 200klmhr for 35 mins.Why? because he fancied our sons 14 yr old girlfriend.The 42 yr old foster father was jealous of our son.The driver confronted our son displaying his affections for our sons 14 yr old girlfriend.Our son threatened to tell others.Chase didnt make the trip home…Where is the driver now?? in a minimal security prison with another driving charge on top of his other multiple charges.We agree,should be Murder, We were told,the murder charge wouldnt stick…
