Weekdays
0005 -
Mon.: AWAYE! - produced and presented by Aboriginal broadcasters and
is Australia's only national Indigenous arts and culture program. This

Council and tell the history of that organisation. And the band that
symbolised the land rights movement, the Warumpis, turn 21. [%]
Tue.: THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "One of
Australia’s Greatest Scholars?" He established pre-history as a proper
discipline, gained a worldwide reputation as a brilliant archaeologist,
tried to influence the Labor Party’s
views on a socialist Utopia and then vanished. Gordon Childe walked off
a cliff in the Blue Mountains. In doing so he ensured that there is
little awareness of his remarkable contributions. As we celebrate
Australia Day, Kathy Gollan remembers an extraordinary scientist,
talking to Bob Carr, Professor John Mulvaney and others. [%]

Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "The Importance of

This is in contradiction to previous studies. [T; %]
Tue.: LAW REPORT - with Damien Carrick. This week: "The Gunns 20
Litigation".
Gunns - the giant Tasmanian logging company - is suing 20 environmental
activists and organisations for $6.3 million. The company claims the
