THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained. This week: "E-Voting
and its Paper Trail". 650 million people successfully cast their votes
in India this year using an electronic voting system. But in the United
States public suspicion about electronic voting is running so high that
at least one state, California – the most populous – has decertified
their electronic voting machinery in favour of paper based systems. [%]

0130 THE CHAT ROOM* - presented by Heather Jarvis. The place to meet
people from the region living lives a little out of the ordinary--from
business, to sport, science and the arts. Community leaders and quiet
achievers. They drop in, share their stories and play a bit of music.
0205 BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Homegrown Terrorists".
Hate groups in America are growing, and the potential for domestic
terrorism is high. Yet there is little coverage of this in the US
media. Who's heard of the William Krar case? He could have razed a
shopping mall, as Helen Thomas reports. [T;%]

voice, compared with those of Kafka and Chekhov. [T;%]
0434 BOOK TALK - a mix of reviews, critical discussion and a look at
the latest developments in publishing with Amanda Smith. This week:
"Peacemakers". Après la guerre: another chance to hear historian
Margaret MacMillan on Peacemakers, her prize-winning reappraisal of the
Paris Peace Conference of 1919, at which Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George,
Clemenceau and other heads of state - including of course Billy Hughes
- sought to bring a just end to the war to end all wars, and to meet
the expectations of their own peoples. The consequences -especially in
the Middle East – are still being played out today. [%]
0505 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, with
Roger Broadbent. This week the thoughts of a number of young people who
came to Australia from war torn countries. How have they adapted to
their new, more peaceful, surroundings and what do they think when they
look back at what they left behind? Their experiences have been
recorded in a book called ‘Chronicles from the Edge’. One of
Australia’s most accomplished performers, Simon Burke, talks about his
career which began as a presenter of one of this country’s most popular
children’s television programmes. Since then Simon has appeared on
stage with the likes of Dame Judi Dench. And we enjoy some ‘Fellowship
On Wheels’ with a group of what have become known as grey nomads as
they hit the road in search of those wide open spaces.
0532 ALL IN THE MIND - a weekly foray into the mental universe, the
mind, brain and behaviour with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "The
Culture of Pain". Most of us fear pain. What if you are a child who has

examines the environmental legacy of the Great War. The trenches on the
Western Front in WWI constituted the largest city
on Earth in population and area. There were about six million people in
all. [T;%]
0905 THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "Killer
Tides". Suddenly, from nowhere, blankets of algae spread over the sea
threatening fish and reefs alike. In Townsville such a killer tide
followed celebratory fireworks. The phosphate in the ash caused the
eruption! Another outbreak, still underway, is like a vast layer of
spaghetti suffocating the coral. Research at James Cook University
promises to tackle such tides and even use the weed to soak up
pollutants. In New Zealand similar studies are looking
into outbreaks of species new to science. [%]
0955 BUSINESS WEEKEND*

professionals share their ideas about what is required to build truly
smart and cohesive societies while regional experts discuss a range of
issues from international education to creating liveable cities to
being good corporate citizens. This week: "2. Global English". Learning
English seems to be the smart thing to do as globalisation takes hold.
English has become the pre-eminent language of world trade and
international education. But will it retain this position?
1532 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS (refer to 0505)
1605 HINDSIGHT - social history with Jennifer Bowen. This week:
"Wattle Records and Films". Wattle was unique in many respects – it was

Australian record charts; the first to make dramatised and animated
films of bush ballads; the first to commercially release recordings of
didgeridoo playing and Aboriginal traditional songs; the first to

European societies with Keri Phillips. This week: "A Cartographic Look

1005 KEYS TO MUSIC (refer to 0005)
1105 SUNDAY PROFILE - In-depth analysis of the major news in
Australia and around the world with Geraldine Doogue. This week:
"Hardie Inquiry and the British in Iraq". On Thursday the counsel
assisting the inquiry into former asbestos producer James Hardie
presented a damming submission about what he said was a deliberate
policy by the company to strip its assets. This was done, he said, in
order to avoid paying all of the compensation claims from its former
employees who have, or who will become ill. The legal company which
advised Hardie about its restructuring came in for particular
criticism. Geraldine Doogue speaks with the President-elect of the Law
Council of Australia about the ethical obligations of corporate
lawyers. And, in the wake of continuing violence in Iraq, political
scientist Toby Dodge from the University of Warwick, points out the
disturbing similarities between what is happening now, and the
situation 80 years ago when the British were in charge of rebuilding
the country after the First World War. Are there any useful lessons for
the Americans from the British experience? [%]

Islander people. This week: "Lake Cowal". Wiradjuri Elder Flo Grant

life. This week: "The First Man". Nobel laureate Albert Camus was part

the mould and gives it a good shake.
[www.abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/] for playlists and program
details. Tim comments, "Highlights that would attract me to this week's
program include the best cover I've ever heard of the greatest song
ever written [in the simple "love" pop song format.... well maybe it's
the "pulled heart string of an anguished youth" song format], long
before mary robinson found things in denmark of interest - this program
was flying the musical flag of denmark... and again this week with
sampled school teacher blues and another piece that uses dub as it's
basis, we also have nz dub, rare re-released ska and french
electronic..." [T;%]

0010 AWAYE! - Aboriginal arts, culture and politics with Rhoda
Roberts. This week: "Art and Activism". Cultural and environmental
campaigner, Jacqui Katona argues change will only come when Aboriginal
people walk out of white arts institutions and form an independent,
parallel structure to defend the rights of Aboriginal artists. Jacqui's
talk will challenge popular, western ideas about Aboriginal art,
especially who really holds the power to define what Aboriginal art is,
and why Aboriginal art has become a 'white thing'. [%]
