Weekdays

0005 -
	Mon.: AWAYE! - produced and presented by Aboriginal broadcasters and 
is Australia's only national Indigenous arts and culture program. This 
week: "Gotta Be Strong". We celebrate 30 years of the Central Land 
Council and tell the history of that organisation. And the band that 
symbolised the land rights movement, the Warumpis, turn 21. [%]
	Tue.: THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "One of 
Australia’s Greatest Scholars?" He established pre-history as a proper 
discipline, gained a worldwide reputation as a brilliant archaeologist, 
tried to influence the Labor Party’s
views on a socialist Utopia and then vanished. Gordon Childe walked off 
a cliff in the Blue Mountains. In doing so he ensured that there is 
little awareness of his remarkable contributions. As we celebrate 
Australia Day, Kathy Gollan remembers an extraordinary scientist, 
talking to Bob Carr, Professor John Mulvaney and others. [%]
	Wed.: CRICKET--PAKISTAN v. WEST INDIES Live from the Gabba in Brisbane.
	Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current 
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "The Importance of 
Beatrice--Endangered Livestock". Six breeds of domestic livestock 
become extinct every month around the world. Breeds of pigs, cattle and 
sheep are dying out, as farmers selectively ‘grow’ to type. [T;%]
	Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Claudia Taranto. This week: "TGH 
Strehlow".  A biographical portrait of a remarkable man, TGH Strehlow.

to postpone their death for significant personal events or holidays. 
This is in contradiction to previous studies. [T; %]
	Tue.: LAW REPORT - with Damien Carrick. This week: "The Gunns 20 
Litigation".
Gunns - the giant Tasmanian logging company - is suing 20 environmental 
activists and organisations for $6.3 million. The company claims the
