0005 -
ASIA PACIFIC REVIEW* - interviews and reports from the region.

AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with
Roger Broadbent. This week: They say that information is power.
Recognising this, governments the world over are usually less than
generous when it comes to sharing information. Occasionally though,
more often than not 30 years after the event, secret government
documents are declassified and made available for public scrutiny.
Although it may not be world shattering news the Australian ‘UFO
Research Network’ recently obtained documents from the National
Archives in Darwin that could just be this country’s X-Files and on
the Australian Express this week we go in search of extra-terrestrial
activity in the Northern Territory. There’s a story about the Mutton
Fish which is no a fish and it definitely isn’t mutton. And we go
‘Blackbirding’. That’s a term used to describe the removal, in the
second half of the 19th century, of thousands of South Sea Islanders
who were taken, from their homes in the Pacific, to Queensland to
work in the fledgling sugar industry as cheap imported labour.
