Nine’s A Current Affair (716,000) spoke with Pat and Geoff who have lived in Victoria’s Goulburn Valley for 56 years.

The team also welcomed comedian Nate Bargatze who has travelled to Australia from the U.S. for the first time. He spoke about why he’s been shocked by everyone having Aussie accents. Which is hilarious, since we’re…Aussie. Hunted Australia then followed as a search of Fugitive couple Holly and Josh’s apartment turned up a vital piece of information, and Father-son duo, Jordan and Tharren continued to taunt the Hunters. Bayan and Eesha also took a risk using their burner phone. 362,000 tuned in. Have You Been Paying Attention? followed as the newly minted Silver Logie Award winners found out whether Ed Kavalee, Marty Sheargold, Hayley Sproull, Ray O’Leary and Alex Ward had been attentive throughout the week.
