context_page_description: Australian Story is a national weekly current affairs and documentary style television series which is broadcast on ABC Television. It is produced specifically by the ABC News and Current Affairs Department. The program first aired on the 29 May 1996, and since then it has continued to profile various Australian people, typically ones with a diverse background or notable reputation.
  Australian Story tends to explore themes such as ‘heroic achievement’, ‘taking a stand’ and ‘human weakness’. The episodes are known to frame people or situations in a sympathetic light. This personal approach to story-telling has been well received by many, with the program winning many awards including multiple Walkley Awards for excellence in journalism and four consecutive Logie Awards. As of 2013, it attracted an average audience of more than one million viewers each week, making it one of the most popular programs on ABC Television.
