BOOKS AND WRITING - in-depth discussions focusing on books, ideas and

reading more non-fiction these days and if so why? In recent times,
writers, editors and publishers both in Australia and around the world
have expressed an increasing concern about the future of quality
literary fiction, as non-fiction books – biography, politics, memoir,
travel, gardening and so on – dominate in terms of sales and media
attention. So what is the role of independent publishers in ensuring
that the most talented and important Australian voices in both fiction
and non-fiction are nurtured, published and read. Two of Australia’s
most successful independent publishers Henry Rosenbloom of Scribe, and
Michael Heyward of Text join Ramona Koval to discuss the state of
publishing and the fate of fiction in Australia. [T;%]

AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, hosted by
Roger Broadbent. This week, Roger writes, " 'We've everything here,
even our own Eskimo' ... that was one of the many slogans used in the
fifties to entice people to one of Australia's most isolated towns, Mt
Isa in Queensland. On the Australian Express we pay a visit to Mt. Isa
to meet some of those who have contributed to its colourful and
multicultural past.
We also celebrate a 25th anniversary. Yes it was a quarter of a century
ago when we first met Mad Max. Played by Mel Gibson Australia’s very
own post apocalyptic hero appeared in three successful road movies. It
all began at a place called Clunes in Victoria where the first cult
movie was made. This small country town has just hosted thousands of
bikies who went there to celebrate, what to them is a very special
birthday.
And they say that as far as the English language is concerned the only
rule is the lack of rules. So is it tom ‘ar’ to or tom ‘ay’ to, pot
‘ay’ toe or pot ‘ar’ to? We dive headlong into
English to clear up a few misunderstandings."
0532
ALL IN THE MIND - a weekly foray into the mental universe, the mind,
brain and behaviour with Lynne Malcolm. This week: "Money and the

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 #8: "Coming to Terms with
Asia". Australia's history of attachment first to Britain and then to
the United States, has given way in recent years to an increased
awareness of Asia. Many believe that a greater understanding of the
region can only enhance communication, security and prosperity. [%;T]

HINDSIGHT - social history with Claudia Taranto. This week: "Go Home
Springboks". In 1971 the South African Springboks rugby team toured
Australia amidst controversy and chaos. Anti-apartheid demonstrators
attempted to disrupt the games because the team had been selected on
racial grounds. Protesters clashed violently with police and Premier
Joh Bjelke-Petersen declared a state of emergency in Queensland, where
police charged at and beat up demonstrators. They also had creative
forms of protest; like having Aboriginal people wear the 'sacred'
Springboks jersey and getting a mixed race couple (Zimbabwean and white
Australian) to stay in the same hotel as the Springboks to draw
attention to the fact that their marriage would be illegal in South
Africa. The Aboriginal protesters also raised the nation's awareness of
racism in Australia. The event ushered in a more militant form of
protest in Australia and it kicked off our sports boycott of South
Africa, the Springboks did not return for 22 years. [%]
