interviews and sounds of the Pacific, highlighting the opportunities

(includes a FINANCIAL REPORT) [T;%]
0305 -
SPORT
0315 -
Mon.: IN CONVERSATION - about scientific matters. This week:
"How Groundhog’s Garden Grew". Lynne Cherry writes stories for young
children. Most are about animals and where they live. Most have
environmental implications. How do the children respond? Is it fair
to give them material with such weighty ramifications? [%]
Tue.: OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp commentary about science.
This week: "Disinformation". Dr Peter James is a forensic geologist
who uses up-to-date science to probe the past. He has looked for the
evidence behind classical
myths and legends and the Bible, and he is struck by how often the
truth is subverted by superstition and political correctness. [T;%]
Wed.: LINGUA FRANCA - looking at all aspects of language.
This week: "Singing Australian". Ethnomusicologist Graeme Smith
considers the accent shift from American to broad Australian in our
popular country music singers, and the shifts in the sense of
national identity promoted by this genre. [T;%]
Thu.: THE ARK - curious moments in religious history that
shatter the usual perception of the past and illuminate the present.
This week: "Brother Roger of Taize--The Impossible Dream". Brother
Roger founded the Taize community in France in 1940 to bring together
Protestant, Catholic and Greek Orthodox Christians. Br Roger's recent
death shocked the world and focussed attention again on this
religious experiment. [T;%]
Fri.: TALKING POINT - one of the interviews covering a
diverse
range of subjects from the domestic "Breakfast" program.
<abc.net.au/rn/talks/brkfast/default.htm> for details. [%]
0331 -
Mon.: HEALTH REPORT - with Dr. Norman Swan. This week:
"Stress and Breast Cancer". Researchers in Denmark studied the effect
of high levels of daily stress on breast cancer risk. [T;%]
Tue.: LAW REPORT -with Damien Carrick. This week: "An
Australian in New Orleans; The US Supreme Court; Music and Law". An
Australian lawyer in New Orleans talks law, justice, race and
disaster management in Louisiana.
Also - the US Supreme Court is set to have two new members. Who's in
the running? And what does this mean for perhaps the most important
court in the world? And also - we explore the connections between
music and law. [T;%]
Wed.: RELIGION REPORT - with Stephen Crittenden.
<abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/relrpt/> for details. [T;%]
Thu.: MEDIA REPORT - with Richard Aedy.
<abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/mediarpt/> for details.
[T;%]
Fri.: SPORTS FACTOR - debating and celebrating the
cultural significance of sport. [abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/sportsf/] for
details. [T;%]
0405 -
Mon.: BIG IDEAS - lectures, conversations, features and
special series from Australia and around the world. This week: "Music
And Fashion--#6: Stardust Memories". Nostalgia might be the very
opposite of fashion, but it creates new fashions. Nostalgia for a
time when the world still had style leads to cocktail drinking and
Diana Krall. Did such times ever really exist? [T;%]
Tue.: SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week:
"Collapse". What can we learn from Easter Island and Montana? Why
have they become examples of catastrophic ecological decline? Why
does Australia have much to learn from them? Jared Diamond, giving a
Deakin lecture in Melbourne, sums up the case in his book, Collapse.
Will we have enough time to duck the obvious environmental perils of
our age? [T;%]
Wed.: PACIFIC FOOTSTEPS - a co-production between ABC and
the BBC World Service marking the 60th anniversary of the end of the
Pacific War. It presents snapshots of the Solomon Islands, Papua New
Guinea, the Philippines and the Northern Mariana Islands, four
countries in which Americans, Australians, Japanese and indigenous
people fought and suffered great hardship during World War Two. This
week: Program Two--"Big Island".
One of the world's most multicultural communities is Australia's
nearest neighbour and former colony Papua New Guinea. It is
culturally rich, with over 800 distinct languages, and has incredible
bio-diversity. Stacked with rainforest timber and other natural
resources, the country has always been prone to exploitation rather
than development. More than 85% of the population still lives by
subsistence farming, often in remote highland villages which have
little contact with the rest of the country.
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-
setting, current affairs radio documentary program. Radio National's
agenda setting, current affairs radio documentary. This week:
"Barnaby Joyce--A Most Interesting Senator." Barnaby Joyce sees the
Nationals as ’a safety valve’ for conservative politics. Politicians
are shackled by political absolutism, says Joyce, and Industrial
Relations legislation is the next big fight. Antony Funnell reports.
[T;%]
Fri.: KEYS TO MUSIC - Graham Abbott breaks down the
barriers to enjoying classical music for non-musicians, revealing
basic concepts, discussing composers and exploring pieces of music
inside-out. This week: "New World Symphony". The ninth symphony of
Antonin Dvorak, From the New World, is one of the best-loved
treasures of the orchestral repertoire. In this program Graham will
discuss the work's origins, and the composer's aims in writing it.
It's a superb blend of cultural influences from both the old and new
worlds, all wrapped up in a symphony. [T;%]

Mon.: "New Counter Terrorism Laws". New counter
terrorism laws would allow suspected terrorists to be jailed for 14
days without charge and for their movements to be monitored with
tracking devices. But will these proposed new powers deter terrorists
or just curtail civil liberties?

Tue.: AWAYE! - produced and presented by Aboriginal
broadcasters and is Australia's only national Indigenous arts and
culture program. This week: "Too Much Baggage/Long Black". We explore
the notion that Indigenous people have to work twice as hard as
everyone else, to be considered half as good. A panel including
leading Aboriginal academic Mick Dodson, activist and playwright Sam
Watson and the former Democrats Senator Aden Ridgeway consider
whether Aboriginal people are forced to carry "too much baggage". We
ask filmmakers Warwick Thornton and Beck Cole about their new
projects and the manager of the Indigenous branch of the Australian
Film Commission, Sally Riley, talks up the AFC's new feature
development initiative "Long Black". [%]
Wed.: PACIFIC FOOTSTEPS (refer to 0405)
Thu.: THE EUROPEANS - political, cultural, economic and
social developments across eastern and western Europe with Keri
Philips. This week: "End of the Economic Miracle". Germany is in
economic decline. As they prepare to vote in general elections,
Germans are asking what happened to the economic miracle and are
looking for leaders who can create jobs and restore their damaged
national pride. [T;%]

interviews and behind-the-scenes information presented by Julie Rigg.
<abc.net.au/rn/arts/movietime/> for details. [T;%]
1130 -
Wed.: ALL IN THE MIND - the mind, brain and behaviour with
Natasha Mitchell. This week: "The Wings of a Butterfly--Teenagers,
Schools and Depression". Teen Screen, an American program that
screens high school students
for depression, has faced some sharp criticism. We compare this
approach to the preventative programs found in Australian schools and
ask – what seems to be working? [%]
Thu.: ARTS ON RA - Julie Copeland presents lively
discussions and interviews with artists, writers and thinkers on some
of the big ideas in art and culture. [abc.net.au/rn/arts/sunmorn/]
for details. [%]

with Roger Broadbent. This week the Australian Express
takes you back in time we the second of four programmes in which we
revisit just a few of the stories covered since this programme began
early last year. In April we hung five as we revealed the history of
surfing. Did you know that it is almost four thousand year’s old? A
little later in the year there was a depressing story about the fight
for the Mighty Murray River, Australia’s longest. We were told it’s
slowly dieing as the uptake of water for irrigation is threatening to
reduce it to a trickle. And we lamented the lack of Innovation in
this country.
