our lives. [T;%]

his memoir of love and loss among the blackfellas of Jackson’s Track. 
It was a tragic story of a rare place where Aboriginal people were left

for twenty years, until almost 1960, when suddenly the outside world 
intruded and change came to the forest. [%]

	THE EUROPEANS - broader historical and cultural perspectives on 
European societies with Keri Phillips. This week: "The European Tourist

people from all around the world have chosen to holiday, study and have 
business meetings and conferences in European cities. At the same time, 
many of the once great industrial centres have also had to adjust to 
the decline of manufacturing. How has the rapid increase in urban 
tourism transformed European cities? [T;%]
2330 -
	INNOVATIONS - A showcase of Australian design, discoveries, invention, 
engineering and research skills with Desley Blanch. This week: "New 
Device To Help Premature Babies – Oxymix": Australian scientists have

babies in third-world countries who suffer from respiratory 
difficulties – problems that can cause brain damage and blindness. 
"Stitches-Free Surgery - Bioweld Tube": The BioWeld Tube is an 
absorbable protein-based medical tube, which could replace the use of 
sutures during surgery. "Inflatable Resuscitation Mask  (Revivamask)": 
It was with great dismay that Melbourne inventor Graham Farrell found 
that thousands of people who were trained in resuscitation, were 
reluctant to use their skills because they feared disease transmission. 
So to overcome the problem, Graham developed a safer alternative—the 
inflatable Resuscitation Mask. [T;%]

the electoral roll to build up detailed data banks on the interests and 
concerns of voters but the files are exempt from both the Privacy Act 
and Freedom of Information legislation. "The art of political 
persuasion": Politicians use increasingly sophisticated techniques to 
win our hearts and minds. Is political advertising a threat to the

their aggressive behaviour is driving out other native bird species.

truth, deception and psychosis - as revealed in the confessions of 
soldiers returning from the front - and the delusions of Serbian 
citizens trying to cling to normality. [T;%]
1630 -
	BOOK TALK - a mix of reviews, critical discussion and the latest 
developments in publishing with Jill Kitson. This week: "America's 
Messianic Mission". What is driving the Bush Administration's hubris? 
Why do the majority of Americans support it when Republican domestic 
policies favour the rich and hurt the Republican 'heartland', and when 
so many of America's friends and allies deplore it? The 
Washington-based political analyst Anatol Lieven, author of America 
Right or Wrong: An Anatomy of American Nationalism, on the dark side of 
American nationalism. [%]

1705 -
