injuries, drastically speeding recovery. [%]

0205
BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current affairs
radio documentary program. This week: "Nature's Toy Box". There is good
news and bad news as nanotechnology begins to change everything. It is
converging with biology, IT and the cognitive sciences, and will affect
whole economies, the way we live, and
medical care. It is already happening, and the science is ahead of
public understanding as Amanda Armstrong reports. [T;%]

AUSTRALIAN COUNTRY STYLE (refer to 1930 Fri.)
0405
BOOKS AND WRITING - in-depth discussions focusing on books, ideas and
writing with Ramona Koval. This week: A very affecting memoir from the
pen of writer Tim Jeal, known mostly for biographies of macho
Englishmen like Baden Powell or Stanley and Livingstone. His book
Swimming With My Father is a moving portrait of his family, riven by
the beliefs and behaviour of his Christian mystic father and the stern
politeness of his mother's military family. It's a gentle tale of
eccentricity, embarrassment and a family held together by a mere
thread. And we look at Nicolette Stasko’s most recent collection of
poems The Weight Of Irises. [T;%]
0434
BOOK TALK - a mix of reviews, critical discussion and a look at the
latest developments in publishing with Amanda Smith. This week: "On
Writing Non-Fiction". At the recent Melbourne Writers Festival, Peter
Robb told how he came to write his first book: the prize-winning
international bestseller, Midnight in Sicily. [%]
0505
AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, hosted by
Roger Broadbent. This week, Roger writes, "He calls himself Morganics,
and for many years he's been traveling through regional Australia
giving young people in country towns a creative outlet using the
musical style called ‘hip-hop’. As you’ll hear, on this week’s
Australian Express, hip-hop and the word rapping that goes with it
outsells country music by a long chalk, but for many of us, it's just
imported American culture - the language, the fashion, the attitude.
Morganics disagrees. Can you imagine what it might be like to
experience the delights of a garden if you are blind? We find out this
week by visiting the Royal Blind Society’s ‘Sensory Gardens’ in Sydney.
At first glance it’s hard to find the link between a former tram driver
and learning more about bird life, wetlands and ecosystems. But since
the departure of conductors from Melbourne trams, in the late 1990's, a
group of them has been travelling throughout Victoria, talking about
the environment and handing out "swap" cards about the local sites of
significance and the birds and animal life that inhabit them. Our
reporter caught up with them as they were dispensing words of
environmental wisdom."
0532
ALL IN THE MIND - a weekly foray into the mental universe, the mind,
brain and behaviour with Lynne Malcolm. This week: "Over the
Borderline". What can turn a person from loving you, to hating you, and
back to loving you again in a split second? It could be
Borderline Personality Disorder. We hear some surprising new insights
into this disturbing condition. [%]

degrees by 2070 in a worst case scenario released by the CSIRO this
week. Earthbeat looks at the business case for acting on climate
change. [T;%]
0905
THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "Ten Years Saving
Chimps". We meet Debbie Cox, who started her career as a freckle-faced
vet nurse from Dubbo. Now she's coping with war zones in Africa saving
scores of orphan chimpanzees something she's been doing for ten years.

CORRESPONDENT'S NOTEBOOK

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 #7: "The Internationalisation
of Education". Between 1980 and 2000, accelerated demand for formal
qualifications led to an increase in tertiary-educated Australians in
the workforce. The same period also saw a big rise in the number of
international students coming to study here. [%;T]
1532
AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS (refer to 0505)
1605
HINDSIGHT - social history. This week: "The Ord River Forty Years On".

irrigation farming in the East Kimberley to grow cotton, rice and
sugar. Bill Bunbury looks at whether this ambitious scheme has worked
out forty years on. [%]
1655
PERSPECTIVE - informed commentary.
1705
THE SPIRIT OF THINGS - religion and spirituality. This week: "A Credo
For All".
Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of Britain and the Commonwealth, is one of
the most influential religious figures in the UK today. He's also known
for his 'Credo' column in The Times, where he shines a light on the
values we can't live without, but often have trouble living with. Rabbi
Sacks' insights into the meaning of life, love, death and suffering,
have given hope to millions of readers, many of whom would never darken
the door of a synagogue or church. He explains that the experience of
writing for a wide audience has changed the way he thinks about faith.

Lisbon explores the continuing bond between the once imperial European
power and its tiny former colony. [%]

THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of the
week. This week: "Family First's First Senator". Virtually unknown
outside South Australia before the election campaign, Family First
polled surprisingly well, influencing results in a number of important
seats. A shrewd preference deal in Victoria propelled Steve Fielding
into the Senate. He tells Terry Lane that Christian values must be
heard in debates on a range of sensitive political issues. Also, two
decades of privatisation, deregulation and contracting out have raised
fears that government has lost control of economic and social policy.
Not so, says Michael Keating, a senior adviser to Labor and Coalition
governments, who argues that its the changing character of Australian
society that makes governing more difficult. [%]

KEYS TO MUSIC (refer to 0005)

SUNDAY PROFILE - In-depth analysis of the major news in Australia and
around the world with Geraldine Doogue. [www.abc.net.au/sundayprofile/]
for details. This week: "Where to for the ALP?" As the Labor die-hards
come to terms with their resounding loss, the questions are being asked
again about what went wrong. After the 2001 defeat, John Button, a
Minister in the Hawke and Keating governments, took a long hard look at
the party's structure, saying it was too rigid, secretive and
factionalised. He even criticised the traditional connection with the
unions. Nothing changed, and three years later, another defeat. John
Button and Bill Shorten, the national secretary of the Australian
Workers Union discuss with Geraldine Doogue, where the ALP can go from
here. [%]
1130
SPEAKING OUT - a program about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
people. This week: "Boxing Tournament in the Torres Straits".
Indigenous boxing promoter Alex Wymarra talks to Karen Dorante about
why he wanted a major boxing tournament in the Torres Straits. The
event features his younger brother Edgar "Brown Sugar" Wymarra who is
defending his WBF light middleweight crown. Plus the managing director
of one of Australia's largest electricity retailers talks about the
company's award-winning Indigenous employment program. [%]

SOUND QUALITY - an hour of music with Tim Ritchie that grabs the mould
and gives it a good shake. [www.abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/] for
playlists and program details. Tim writes, "A program of contrast and
texture.... sounds a bit like an ad for wall paint, but there are some
valid comparisons [please leave the wall paper music jokes in the
foyer].... there is a fully diverse sound palate.... for ingredients...
see below. There is the dj from the beastie boys, a new genre of music
that is sort of afrocentric, 10th album from sq favourites from hull,
local post rock, delicate piano with dirty breaks, a teaming of local
electronic artists and classical players, and the album of the year
[well I think it to be pretty great] that is an improv electro acoustic
set." [T;%]
