MESSAGE STICK: TALKING STICK: EDUCATION
Sunday, 07 June 2009
Message Stick presents a new series of studio
chat programs called Talking Stick. In this
series, presenter Miriam Corowa speaks to
Indigenous and non-Indigenous insiders to
discuss six topics of interest to all Australians.
From the vexed subjects of Aboriginal health,
education and justice, to national and
international success in sport and music and the
impact of climate change on communities across the country, Talking Stick
provides a candid assessment of the state of the Indigenous nation.
In episode five, Education, Miriam talks to three people who embody the
possibilities and power that educational success can bring in tackling the
disadvantage affecting so many of Australia's Indigenous communities.
Professor Lester-Irabinna Rigney runs the Yunggorendi First Nations Centre at
Flinders University in Adelaide and specialises in the field of Indigenous education
and languages. Craig Ashby is a young Indigenous man from Walgett who took
up a scholarship at St Joseph's College, one of Sydney's elite private schools,
and is now completing a Bachelor of Education at Sydney University. The
Honourable Linda Burney, the NSW Minister for Community Services and
National President of the Australian Labor Party, has maintained a long-standing
involvement in the education sector -after starting a teaching career in the late
1970s. These three panellists all provide valuable contributions to a discussion of
Indigenous education in Australia.
In a world where knowledge is power, Miriam and her guests consider how the
current Indigenous power imbalance can be rectified.

THE BEAR MAN OF KAMCHATKA
Sunday, 07 June 2009
A scenically stunning and dramatically
engaging story of one man's campaign to
prove grizzly bears can live harmoniously with
people if they are conditioned from an early
age to loving trust.
Canadian, Charlie Russell, is a surrogate
mother to orphan bear cubs in the remote and
beautiful wilderness reserve on Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Russia. He
has spent more than 10 years raising young bears and helping them return to
the wild and in the process developed a unique, intimate relationship with
them.
As he spends nine months of the year living as a recluse with the bears in this
magnificent wilderness, he watches his young charges become increasingly
independent, but hovers watchfully for the ever-present dangers of other
grizzlies and poachers.
Russell's intimate and affectionate encounters with his beloved bears are a
heart-warming sight in this thoughtful and beautiful film. He is determined to
show that the fears man has about the savagery of such beasts are
unfounded and that bears and humans can co-exist peacefully.

COMPASS: THE QUR'AN: PART ONE
Sunday, 07 June 2009
The Qur'an has become the most ideologically
influential text in the world. Muslims believe it to
be the word of God, as first revealed to the
Prophet Muhammad in a cave in the Arabian
Desert, nearly fifteen hundred years ago.
Today Islam is a religion of vast dimensions.
Well over a billion people from the Americas to
China, from India to the southern tip of Africa,
are Muslim. Yet within this single universe of belief, there are profound differences
in the status of women, attitudes to peace and violence, punishment and
forgiveness. Some Muslim regimes deny girls the right to an education and
women the right to vote or drive. In other Muslim countries, women lead political
parties and have even become heads of state.
But if Islam is rooted in the Qur'an, and the Qur'an is the ultimate and changeless
message of God, how are these differences possible? Is it possible to go back to
the source, and discover what the Qur'an actually says about the most important
spiritual and ethical questions?
In this powerful and stunningly beautiful two-part program, The Qur'an, awardwinning UK director, Antony Thomas takes us into the heart of the Muslim world
and through the personal lives of people living according to their understanding of
the Qur'an. The range of witnesses and experiences is extraordinary -- from
Ayatollahs and Grand Imams to simple farmers; from women in positions of power
to women living in veiled seclusion; from those who speak of the Qur'an's
uncompromising message of peace and tolerance to those who find justification in
the text for violent conflict and suicide bombing.
All speak frankly about their relationship with the Book which governs their lives,
and through them, we gain clearer and clearer insights into this wonderfully
complex, beautiful and often contradictory ‘guide and healing for humanity’.

Monday, 08 June 2009
Section D learns from the Venezuelan secret
service that the visiting Venezuelan President
is being targeted by CIA hit-man Annibal
Rodriguez (Stephen Da Costa). If MI5
prevents the assassination, the Venezuelans
will provide intelligence they have regarding an
al-Qaeda attack on a British school.
Meanwhile, Zaf's tortured corpse is found and ex-CIA Bob Hogan (Matthew
Marsh) identifies a group called the 'Red-backs', who torture spies to extract
intelligence.
When Jo (Miranda Raison) is snatched by them, Adam (Rupert Penry-Jones)
asks Hogan to make contact and offer money for her safe return. Hogan sets
up the exchange but reveals himself to be a Red-back, and Adam is captured,
too.
Ben, (Alex Lanipekun) meanwhile, stops Rodriguez before he can kill the
Venezuelan President, but the CIA, who commissioned the assassination, are
incensed.
Harry (Peter Firth) sends a team to find Hogan, but the CIA reach him first.
Hogan's willing to give up Jo and Adam, but the CIA won't let him talk to MI5
unless they get Rodriguez back. But if Rodriguez is returned to the
Americans, the Venezuelans won't provide Harry with information on the
school attack. Harry's solution is to tell the CIA that Rodriguez is dead, but he
does a deal to share the intelligence about the al-Qaeda attack - agreeing that
the US can have the terrorists.

JENNIFER BYRNE PRESENTS CADS AND BOUNDERS
New Series
Tuesday, 09 June 2009
Jennifer Byrne Presents is a series of
individual treats for lovers of books and writing. It
features discussions with leading authors and
investigations into the popularity of writing
genres such as crime, sex and romance, and
fantasy.
Jennifer and her guests embark on a fascinating
exploration of literature's bad boys - the cads
and bounders!
Cads and bounders - the very words are a bit delicious, and though their origin is
arguable we all know what those terms mean. Men behaving badly - especially
towards women.
Without wasting too much energy distinguishing between the two, after all they go
so perfectly together: "you sir, are a cad and a bounder", Jennifer has been doing
some digging, and it seems the most likely derivation of 'cad' is from cadet, the
younger of a good family who was sent away to train as a military officer. While a
'bounder' is literally someone beyond the bounds, a sort of jumped-up cad. What's
interesting is that you won't find the word ‘cad’ mentioned in either Jane Austen or
Georgette Heyer, though they had plenty of rakes and scoundrels in their novels,
which puts the cads' estimated time of arrival at around the mid 19th century.
However, enough of origins, what about their wicked deeds? Jennifer has
assembled a sparkling group to nominate what they regard as literature's greatest
and most memorable cad or bounder.
Chris Taylor identifies with the scheming cad who is the Vicomte de Valmont from
Choderlos de Laclos's Dangerous Liaisons. Mia Freedman names Mr Big from
Sex and the City as her ultimate bounder. Edmund Capon thinks that the
moustachioed Flashman from the George MacDonald Fraser series is the
pinnacle of caddishness. Sandra Yates goes for the traditional bounder, with her
choice of the darkly brooding Heathcliffe from Wuthering Heights.

THE COOK AND THE CHEF
Wednesday, 10 June 2009
This week on The Cook And The Chef, Simon
Bryant and Maggie Beer celebrate Stephanie
Alexander's contribution to food in Australia.
When it came to food Stephanie had a charmed
childhood. Her mother used cooking to express
her creativity, and the nightly presentations of
meals for her family were a gift of love.
Stephanie's associations with food were so
wonderfully positive that as a cook she has found herself on a mission to take
anxiety out of and bring joy to cooking and eating. From the mid 70s she took her
French-inspired cooking to an incredibly receptive restaurant audience.
These days Stephanie has enlisted young foot soldiers for her food revolution.
The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program seeks funding to provide
schools across Australia with the means to set up a learning garden linked with a
kitchen. The pilot program was established in 2001 and now 92 schools across
Australia are involved in the project. Maggie is the ambassador for the Kitchen
Garden Project in South Australia and her love of empowering children through
gardening and cooking is shared by Simon who is the patron of the Kids’ Cooking
Club at his local farmers market.
In the kitchen, Simon and Maggie inspired by Stephanie, delve into their pantry
and fridge to see what they can create. Maggie finds potato left over from a pizza,
and pumpkin from a cous cous dish. She brings these left-overs to life with
various ingredients to create a frittata. Simon's pantry staples include lentils and
rice and he uses a combination of both to make a warming risotto which features
some great winter veggies like leek and fennel. Maggie also makes one of
Stephanie's Kitchen Garden recipes, a wonderful warm polenta and rosemary
bread with corn. Like Maggie, Simon wouldn't make anything with kids that he
wouldn't enjoy eating himself and his cheesy potatoes are no exception.

THE NEW INVENTORS
Wednesday, 10 June 2009
Hosted by James O'Loghlin, The New Inventors
presents a special episode, 'Dealing with
Disaster'.
Invention 1A BUSHFIRE SMART HOUSE inventor Dr Ian Weir (WA). The Bushfire Smart
House is designed to sustain itself in a bushfire
without human intervention using bushfire-rated
reflective glazing in windows that reach down to
the floor, remote-controlled ember-resistant perforated roller shutters, a protective
roof, sprinkler system, and a safety zone inside the house that contains dedicated
fire fighting and safety equipment. Bushfire Smart House - you can't stop a
bushfire, but you can design smarter homes.
Invention 1B SIGHT SKETCHER - co-inventor Justin Leonard (VIC). The Sight
Sketcher measures and maps a house in its environment and then uses test
scenarios to assess its vulnerability to bushfire. Developed at the CSIRO, the
scanning device takes snapshots of the house and any surrounding features to
create a 3D model of all relevant bushfire risks. Sight Sketcher - solve a problem
before it's a disaster.
Invention 2 ANUGA - inventors Dr Ole Nielson and Stephen Roberts (ACT).
ANUGA is software developed by Australian National University and GeoScience
Australia. It models water flow in the event of floods, dam breaks, storm surges
and tsunamis, so that the water's movement can be anticipated and draft
evacuation plans, protective levees and cities can be designed safely. Anuga predicting a safer future.
Invention 3 ARK - inventors Matt Guest and Scott Horan (ACT). Domestic animals
are not allowed into temporary accommodation during a disaster, so ARK trailers
are used to house and treat up to 40 dogs, 60 cats, 50 sheep, snakes and other
exotic pet species. They were recently utilised in the Victorian bushfires. ARK man's best friend shouldn't be left behind.

THE ASCENT OF MONEY: BLOWING BUBBLES
Thursday, 11 June 2009
Why do stock markets produce bubbles and
busts? Professor Niall Ferguson goes back to
the origins of the joint stock company in 17th
century Amsterdam and Paris. He tells us that
the United Dutch East India Company was the
first joint stock company in history.
Ferguson draws telling parallels between the
recent stock market crash and the 18th century Mississippi Bubble of Scottish
renegade murderer and gambler, later financier, John Law, who was the
perpetrator of the first stock market 'bubble' in 1720.
He shows why humans have a herd instinct when it comes to investment, and
why no one can accurately predict when the bulls might stampede.
We learn that after the stock market crash in 1929 the market lost a
staggering 86%, reaching its nadir in 1932. One quarter of the population of
the United States was unemployed.
Why did the 1929 crash happen, and indeed why does any crash happen?
This remains one of the most hotly debated questions in financial history.
Professor Ferguson explains why Enron, the company responsible for one of
the biggest financial scandals in modern history, and that was declared
bankrupt in 2001, pioneered the dubious business practices that continue to
plague us today.

KIDS' BUSINESS
Thursday, 11 June 2009
Over one year at a central Victorian primary
school a group of typical, but also amazing,
10-12 year olds met in a once weekly class to
discuss issues concerning their relationships
both at school and at home. And Cath South
and Stewart Carter filmed this process. The
resulting film Kids' Business is a moving
account of the kids' struggles over that year.
The class, Solving The Jigsaw, which the school has run for six years, gives
the children a setting where they can discuss anything they want relating to
their lives. The motto of the group is "there is nothing you can't talk about".
And because of the confidential setting, the kids discuss the most personal,
and in some cases heart-rending, issues they face. Death, family feuds,
disappointment, exclusion, bullying, and violence at home are all discussed
openly and dealt with sensitively.
The class is run by facilitator Bernadette Wright, with the intention of teaching
the children how to communicate their feelings and control situations that may
feel out of their control. Bernadette fosters a feeling of trust in which the grade
5 and 6 kids feel confident to talk about their lives. But most importantly, they
learn how to talk to their parents about what matters to them. The result is a
deeply moving insight into the complexities of these children's lives and
relationships.
The kids and their families all agreed to share their experiences on film.

Friday, 12 June 2009
When the badly decomposed body of a
Hasidic man is discovered on a disused
wasteland, Harry (Tom Ward) is required to
investigate his death, and to treat the
community with care. Everything points
towards a brutal anti-Semitic murder by a
Polish labourer - but when the time of death
contradicts his wife's last sighting, Harry
becomes suspicious. The deeper Harry delves, the tighter this close-knit
community becomes, until Harry and Nikki (Emilia Fox) come across forensic
evidence that suggests the killer comes from within the Hasidic community.
Meanwhile, Leo (William Gaminara) investigates the death of a female
Australian backpacker at a house party. The partygoers are saying it's a
straightforward drug death, but markings on her body suggest a sexually
motivated crime. Leo finds himself being given short shrift by her friends as he
tries to piece together the moments leading to her death.

NEW TRICKS: A FACE FOR RADIO
Saturday, 13 June 2009
An arson attack on 1980s music station Roxy
Radio ten years ago resulted in the death of
the popular, but controversial DJ, Johnny
Deacon, and left the cleaner, Sharon Revie,
blind and scarred for life. The station's mediamogul owner, Sir Max Wyatt, who was already
under public scrutiny for ripping off the
company employees’ pension fund, committed
suicide shortly after the studios burned down. Despite suggestions of an
insurance scam or revenge attack, the original investigation drew a blank.
When Jeremy Kirkham (Reece Shearsmith), super-geek and life president of
Deacon's fan club, campaigns for the case to be reopened, the UCOS team
gains a murder inquiry and Brian Lane (Alun Armstrong) gains a new friend.
Socially inept, awkward and clumsy, Jeremy finds it is a meeting of minds
when he shows Brian his fully catalogued collection of all Deacon's programs,
including his distressing last broadcast on the night of the fire.
Deacon's producer, cheesy DJ Graham Madeley, escaped the fire. With his
trophy younger wife Sarah and his office now a shrine to his dead friend and
the good old days, Madeley's loyalty and hero-worship of Deacon seem at
odds with how others viewed their relationship. So Pullman (Amanda
Redman) sends Brian undercover at one of the station's fun days. But Brian is
less in disguise and more in full fancy-dress costume, thanks to his wife
Esther and her interpretation of the 1980s.
With Halford (James Bolam) missing since Ricky Hanson's trial, the team is
under pressure not only to deliver on the case, but to cover Halford's
prolonged absence. Strickland is keen to find a permanent replacement for
Jack, but Pullman and Standing (Dennis Waterman) call his bluff, threatening
to quit UCOS rather than work with someone new on the team.

The theft of a watch at a social club leads the
Sun Hill team to suspect the resident magician
Drake Danvers (Tim Treloar), who initially
claims he bought the watch.
However, when DC Stevie Moss (Lucy Speed)
and DI Neil Manson (Andrew Lancel) do

that the magician is being blackmailed.
A sting is set up to catch the extortionist, but a brawl breaks out and diverts

rely on CCTV footage, and the very person the magician was protecting, turns
out to be his betrayer.

When a small bag of heroine is found in the girl's pocket, DCs Terry Perkins
(Bruce Byron) and Jo Masters (Sally Rogers) visit the boxing club where she
works and uncover evidence of drug-dealing. But the reason for her suicide
attempt is much more sinister.
Beth clashes with Perkins over his handling of the suspect, and then she tells

On April 20, 2004, a small spacecraft set out on a giant quest … to answer

Gravity Probe B mission - 50 years in the making, boasting the most perfectly
formed gyroscopic spheres ever created by human beings, beset by setbacks
and cancellations, fire and failure … it's the longest, most expensive

Eco-Markets
Farmers in Victoria, planning to find new ways to manage their land, can now
maximise its environmental benefit by turning to a scheme being trialled by
the Victorian Government. Current economic theory puts no value on the
environment, but this scheme allows farmers to make a financial bid for the
land works they may wish to introduce. This can then be assessed against a
modelling tool called the Catchment Management Framework (CMF).This
tool was developed by the Victorian Government to combine different
scientific models of environmental characteristics, such as soil type,
vegetation and water in order to predict the impact of land management.
Graham Phillips meets a farmer who is already seeing benefits from this
'Eco-Market'.
Uranium Minerals
Ever since the first nuclear power station was commissioned, the storage of
radioactive waste has been a contentious issue. But, deep beneath the sands
of the Murray basin in North Western Victoria granite deposits may offer a
solution to safer storage of radioactive waste. Radioactive materials can
remain dangerous for thousands of years but Mother Nature has her own
method of stabilising nuclear materials. Dr Paul Willis investigates a unique
mineral deposit that may help solve a problem that refuses to go away.
