AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, hosted by
Roger Broadbent. This week, Roger writes, "Imagine spending life being
unable to communicate with people around you. This week the Australian
Express visits ‘The Brotherhood Of The Wordless’, a group of people who
have had to cope with such frustrations. The participants use alphabet
boards and speaking assistants to voice their thoughts, providing them
with a rare opportunity to converse “normally”. What do you think would
be the most uncomfortable way to cross Australia? A Penny Farthing
would have to be near the top of the list, which is probably why
fundraiser Lloyd Scot felt the need to buy sheepskin seat covers before
he started his epic journey. Not long ago he jumped on the Penny
Farthing in Perth, on Australia’s West Coast, with Sydney, on our east
coast, firmly in his sights. Our reporter caught up with Lloyd after he
had crossed the Nullabor Plain in Western Australia just as he reached
the halfway point of his journey.
And slang, according to the dictionary is: words or phrases that are
used very informally for vividness or novelty or to avoid being
conventional. Roger Broadbent thumbs through the many pages of the new
‘Macquarie Dictionary of Slang’ which documents some of Australia’s
most colourful words and expressions."

THE SPIRIT OF THINGS (refer to Sat. 1705)
1255
THE PULSE - Australian new music.
1305
ENCOUNTER - exploring the connections between religion and life. This
week: "The Tears of a Child". Ivan Karamazov in Dostoyevsky's famous
novel declares that all the knowledge in the world is not worth a
child's tears. The siege in Beslan in Southern Russia this year
reminds us that the suffering and death of children are often the
result of the conflicts and causes of adults. Dostoyevsky's critique
of ideologies which take no account of the suffering of children
extended to a criticism of Christianity where all are not saved. The
French Algerian writer Albert Camus agreed with Dostoyevsky and refused
to support the terrorist and ideological causes of the 20th century
because children might die. This Encounter re-visits a conversation
with Camus scholar, Professor Peter Cryle, to examine in full how Camus
and Dostoyevsky represent a judgement on terrorism and ideology which
is important for our time. [%]
