| Summary |
Saving Chase<br />Four-year-old Chase Walker-Steven has severe epilepsy and quadriplegic cerebral palsy. He can't walk or talk but the struggle to save the life of this little boy is at the centre of tug of war between traditional and alternative treatments. In a Sunday Night investigation Chase's parents, Jacinda 'Cini' Walker and Marc Steven, revealed that after years of putting their faith in traditional medicine they had come to the conclusion their child was getting worse, not better.<br /><br />Desperate to give their little boy his best chance of survival, the Brisbane couple went in search of an alternative treatment and turned to the controversial Church of Ubuntu in Newcastle. Following the advice of charismatic church leader, BJ Futter, Chase was put on an organic diet and given doses of cannabis oil. <br /><br />Cini and Marc claim they immediately saw an improvement in their son. But a month ago, during a routine medical examination at the Lady Cilento Hospital in Brisbane, doctors advised Cini and Marc that they needed to admit Chase for urgent medical treatment. They were alarmed at Chase's dramatic weight loss. In a matter of months he had gone from 22kg to just over 11kg after switching to an all-organic diet. Instead of admitting their son to hospital, Cini and Marc packed up the family and drove 800km south to Newcastle to the Church of Ubuntu.<br /><br />Breaking The Silence<br />The Whiskey Au Go Go firebombing is one of the most notorious crimes in Queensland history. Fifteen people died in that blaze, exposing a murky underworld web of violence and corruption. Tangled up in that web was Barbara McCulkin, the wife of a Brisbane gangster: the woman who knew too much. Less than a year after the bombing, Barbara and her two daughters disappeared, never to be seen again. It turns out all three were murdered to protect the guilty. Steve Pennells reports that justice for the McCulkins has been a long time coming.<br /><br />Elvis Lives<br />Almost 40 years after he left the building, Elvis Presley is on stage again. The Wonder of You tour has arrived in Australia direct from Graceland with a captivating 40-piece orchestra breathing life into his performance in May and June |
