Mon.: HEALTH REPORT - with Dr. Norman Swan.This week: "Anticipating
Cardiac
Arrest". Australia has pioneered a revolution in the care of acutely
sick people in hospital with the aim of doing the cardiac arrest team

arrest, hours before they do, and caring for them accordingly. This
system is now being adopted worldwide and a trial into its
effectiveness is about to
be released. [T;%]
Tue.: LAW REPORT -with Damien Carrick. This week: Are you writing a
job reference for a former employee or colleague? Well be warned - be
accurate or you might land in legal hot water. A London-based

Is the world's climate about to experience a double whammy? We all know
about the dangers of global warming caused by the gasses we re pumping
into the atmosphere. But paradoxically, other pollutants that we've
been releasing since the start of the industrial age may have been
masking the true seriousness of its effect. [T;%]

teaching and writing, Orwell shocked the middle-class establishment
with his observation of the misery, the hopelessness and the despair of
the poor of a previously unexplored Paris and London. Orwell was
described as the 'great moral force of his age'.

Mon.: THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of
the week. This week: "Economic Hitman". John Perkins used to roam the

was to be an economic hitman, enticing foreign nations into debt and
bringing them in line with US commercial interests. "The Future of
Oil". A leading banker to the oil industry says we are living on
borrowed time. A 'fair price' for oil would be more like $500 per
barrel than $50 per barrel. [%]
Tue.: AWAYE! - produced and presented by Aboriginal broadcasters and is
Australia's only national Indigenous arts and culture program. This
week: "Green Bush".
Warwick Thornton is the latest Aboriginal filmmaker to win

Wed.: ALFRED DEAKIN LECTURE SERIES (refer to 0405 Wed.)
Thu.: THE EUROPEANS - political, cultural, economic and social
developments across eastern and western Europe with Keri Philips. This
week: "150 Polish Plumbers". 150 Polish plumbers terrify 6 million
French voters was one quip following the French no vote on the EU
constitutional treaty. It referred to fears of competition over jobs
within the expanded EU. One year ago, Ireland and the UK decided to
open their borders immediately to workers from the ten new member
countries. What's happened as a
result? [T;%]

and behind-the-scenes information presented by Julie Rigg. This week:
"Star Wars--Spoofs and Spin-offs". Julie Rigg looks at the other 400
Stars Wars films, 17 of them feature-length, that have been made by

Lucas supposed to do about it? [T;%]
1130 -
Wed.: ALL IN THE MIND - the mind, brain and behaviour with Natasha
Mitchell. This week: "Social Prosthetics--How You're on my Mind".
You've heard of survival of the fittest, that our altruistic tendencies
are ultimately selfish in motivation. But are we really hardwired to
compete? One leading psychologist says we re hardwired to care as much
as we are to compete. [%]

fiction and non-fiction. In a recent talk given at the National Library
of Australia, Australian writer Frank Moorhouse reflects on how writers
use research material to invent fictional worlds or explore another’s

the League of Nations Grand Days and Dark Palace. [%]

ASIA PACIFIC* (refer to 2305)
1330 -
Mon.: INNOVATIONS* (refer to 0430 Wed.)
Tue.: AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with Roger
Broadbent. This week: We’re told that sources, the informed variety,
are fundamental to journalism. A recent example of this was the
revelation that former FBI deputy director Mark Felt was the famous
'Deep Throat'. This week on the Australian Express one of the ABC’s
leading investigative journalists reveals just how important his
sources are. Here in Australia the Postie, or Postman, is as much a
part of our lives as the milkman used to be. Once upon a time the
Postie used a bicycle. Nowadays they scoot along on a motorised bike,
which enables them to go further, faster and deliver more of their
precious cargo. Now we hear that four brothers and a dairy farmer have
embarked on a coast-to-coast odyssey on Australia post scooters to
raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Digital broadcasting
is now slowly but surely infiltrating our daily lives and its
terminology is becoming part of our everyday language. Take pod casting
and broadband for instance. Both are experiencing a remarkable growth
in Australia, especially in rural areas. The Australian Express hears
from a telecommunications expert who’ll attempt to unravel the threads
of our wireless world.
