British colonial administrators, soldiers, civil servants, engineers
and planters. His father worked in development aid all over Africa.
When Aidan finished his education in England, he went home to Africa to
become a journalist. From 1989 through the 1990s, as a Reuters
correspondent in Ethiopia, Somalia, Rwanda, the Congo, he covered the
horror stories of war and genocide. Rwanda and the death of his father
precipitated a breakdown - until he discovered that his father's
camphorwood chest held a legacy that would restore his life as a
writer. [%]
0505 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, with
Roger Broadbent. This week: Are you someone who lacks emotions, feels
no remorse, have no conscience and feels no guilt? If you answer yes to
all of that then you could just be a psychopath and if you find
yourself in a dysfunctional workplace you could also be a bully. On the
programme this week a Melbourne based psychologist and a victim of
workplace bullying hand out some advice about how to avoid a run-in
with a workplace psychopath. There’s a 50th birthday to be celebrated
and in doing so we visit picturesque Flinders Island which is in Bass
Strait, off Australia’s southeast coast. And we ask ‘Why”? Why on earth
would anyone want to travel around Australia behind the wheel of a 16
tonne grader? Especially if you’ve spent the best part of 50 years of
your working life behind that very same steering wheel.
0532 ALL IN THE MIND - a weekly foray into the mental universe, the
mind, brain and behaviour with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "Brains in

Blueprint and the ruckus it is creating. [T;%]

money into the Nasdaq, where the high risk tech stocks were. All the

capitalism and the mid life crisis. [%]
