AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with Roger
Broadbent. This week: We go on safari. We’re looking for a Thylacine,
or as it’s better known, the ‘Tasmanian Tiger’. But could it be a wild
goose chase...does the Thylacine still exist? Someone seems to think
so. They’ve offered a three million dollar reward to the first person
to capture one alive. Our safari also takes us to Western Australia in
search of the purest, tastiest and healthiest food around. We visit
‘Holy Smoke’ a company dedicated to tittilating our taste buds. And a
medical unit established with Australian support after the Bali
bombings to treat burns victims is to be expanded to tackle another
major medical problem. An Australian doctor explains this under
utilised facility will treat children with cleft lips and palates.

surviving Khmer Rouge on trial. But a global leader in post conflict
mental health contests the belief that such tribunals and truth
commissions promote individual healing, calling it a 'complete
fantasy'. Do they promote social catharthis, or open fresh wounds, in
the absence of real change? Natasha Mitchell is also joined by one of

stories of today's Cambodia. [T;%]
