Australia's Most Wanted is a television program based on the format made popular by America's Most Wanted. It was screened on the Seven Network as a regular series from 1989 until 1998.
The show was often in the headlines due to its graphic crime scene re-enactments which many deemed too distressing for the show's 7:30pm Monday timeslot.
After the Seven Network cancelled the series in early 1999, the Nine Network created their own version of the format later that year. It was unsuccessful and cancelled after six weeks.
