government. [%]

affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Child-Care Profits". 
Business empires are being built on child-care services, yet the job

	Wed.: RURAL REPORTER - the people and places that make up country 
Australia.
	--returning series--Thu.: AUSTRALIA NOW* - a 13-part series looking at 
the jobs Australians do, the homes they live in and the way they spend 
their leisure. The series also examines the environment that supports 
Australians, the political structures that govern them and the way they 
get along with each other and their regional neighbours. "Program #1: 
Postcard from Down Under". Tourist images tend to perpetuate 
stereotypes that connect in particular with rural Australia in 
particular, the bush and the beach lifestyle of ‘Sunny Australia’. As a 
result, overseas tourists often don’t get much further than Australia’s 
largest city, Sydney, the Gold Coast beaches of Queensland, ‘The 
Sunshine State’ and the red heart of Central Australia.  When visitors 
do travel to other parts of the country they’re quite surprised at what 
they find. Similarly, tourist images of Indigenous Australia are 
largely derived from Central Australia so that visitors to other 
Aboriginal cultural sites around the country are frequently 
disappointed if they don’t hear the ‘didjeridoo’, a musical instrument 
made from a hollowed out tree branch or see ‘dot paintings’ that are 
actually quite specific to Central Australia." [%;T]
	Fri.: THE CHAT ROOM* - presented by Heather Jarvis. The place to meet 
people from the region living lives a little out of the ordinary.

1205 -
	Mon.-Thu.: LATE NIGHT LIVE - Phillip Adams hosts a discussion of 
current events in politics, science, philosophy and culture. 
[abc.net.au/rn/talks/lnl/] for details. [%]
		Mon.: Inside the interrogation rooms in Afghanistan.
		Tue.: Suicide Bombing--"My life as a weapon".
		Wed.: Wannabe Foreign Minister, Kevin Rudd.
		Thu.: Funny, quirky, nasty bits from the Campaign.
	Fri.: SOUND QUALITY - For 25 years, Tim Ritchie has been seeking out 
music: the interesting, the evolutionary, the inaccessible and the 
wonderful. [abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/] for details and playlists. 
[T;%]

1305 -
	THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans (Doug Spencer on Mondays) with jazz, blues, 
folk styles, art music and more in a show artfully arranged for radio. 
[abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
		Mon.: It's First Monday:  when The Planet looks fondly back at the 
best new releases of the month that just was.  It's not just a 
nostalgia trip:  we always save some of the finest cuts for a debut 
airing on this day.
		Tue.: Australian pianist Tim Stevens says his new album had a 'long 
and complicated gestation'. The listener would never guess. Nine Open 
Questions is an elegant, beautiful example of so-called piano trio 
music. So-called because the piano here is conversational rather than 
domineering. The sensitive contributions of acoustic bassist Ben 
Robertson and drummer Dave Beck are captured very well by the high 
fidelity of the recording itself. Their real-time conversations were 
unencumbered by headphones.
		Wed.: Munir Bashir was born in Mosul, Iraq in 1930, the son of an 
Assyrian father and a Kurdish mother. Munir, who began playing the oud 
at the age of 5, revolutionised Arabic Classical Music by playing it 
without vocals. He became a cultural ambassador for his instrument and 
his music, playing in over 50 countries. Munir died in Budapest in 1997 
and our feature album, “Mesopotamia” was recorded in his home studio in 
Baghdad in 1987. The double CD records Munir doing what he loved best, 
improvising quietly, with great depth and heart.
		Thu.: 'Easy listening' it’s definitely not! 'Compelling' it certainly 
is. How to describe Real Gone - the (mostly) dark & (always) curious 
new album from Tom Waits? It’s impossible to top the man himself: "Real 
Gone is an electric pill box, a homogenous concoction of mood 
elevators, mind liberators, and downers, an alchemical universe of 
rattling chains, oscillating rhythms and nine-pound hammers. So check 
it out."
		Fri.: Venezuela and Colombia are South America’s northernmost 
countries.  Our co-featured CDs are focussed on these music-rich 
countries, where the blend of Spanish, African and Indigenous cultures 
created a wealth of musical styles. “The Rough Guide to Salsa Colombia” 
concentrates on the trombone driven salsa style of Colombia, while “The 
Rough Guide to the Music of Venezuela” takes in salsa and much more – 
folkloric and Andean influences styles included.
