Plus: Jonathan Swan on a second Trump term
| | The dramatic crime that took hold of a tiny Australian town |
|
It took until 10.30am for an ordinary primary school day to take a very dramatic turn. Monday February 14, 1977, was the ninth day of term one at Wooreen primary, a tiny school nestled in the regional Victorian bush.

It involved hostages, a car chase, a police shootout — and an outrageous ransom request. Read the full story in our online article. Then, tune in to Global Roaming to hear from respected journalist Jonathan Swan about what he foresees for Donald Trump's second presidential term. Plus, read our story from Life Matters about how different couples navigate separation and divorce, and what psychologists recommend to make the process easier. |
