Broadbent. This week the Australian Express investigates the HIV 
pandemic and how Australia has responded to the virus that causes AIDS. 
In this country HIV infection rates are relatively low and have stayed

five reports. We enter the mind of an elite athlete to find out just 
how important sports psychology is at the top. And we learn that an 
Adelaide-based company could forever change the way the world 
manufactures paper. It’s not the paper making process that’s new, but 
the raw material: the humble banana.
