	AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with Roger
Broadbent. This week: Apparently there are those who think we’ve been 
taking it a little easy around the Australian Express studio of late so 
the boss has decided it’s time for us all to be banished to ‘Boot 
Camp’. These military style establishments have become very popular 
with young Australians who voluntarily subject themselves to a strict 
regime of exercise and discipline. And as if to prove that we’re not 
taking the boss all that seriously we meet a group of fun seekers as 
they attempt to break the world laughing record and I assure you it’s 
serious business. Meanwhile on a more serious note we join a very 
special driving school designed to teach young people to ‘Drive for 
Life’ in an effort to reduce the carnage on our roads.
