Petrol Prices BtN: Episode 3 Transcripts 02/03/10 On this week's Behind the News: Medics saving lives on the frontline. Out sports stars’ safety under the spotlight. And some sweet sounds from a new partnership. Hi I'm Nathan Bazley welcome to Behind the News. Also on the show today, Catherine gets behind the scenes and probably into big trouble at the circus. Insulation Reporter: Kirsty Bennett INTRO: But first up today, if you've tuned into the news lately, there's one face you may be seeing a lot. The Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett has been getting drilled for a program he introduced to insulate homes. Four people have died and there've been house fires because of the problems. So why has insulation become such a danger? Kirsty went out in search of an explanation. KIRSTY BENNETT, REPORTER: You can't see it on the outside, but across the country millions of properties have it. It's insulation and it sits in the roof and the walls of your house. While it's out of sight, its effect is felt in every room. KIRSTY: There are lots of different types of insulation but these are the most popular ones. There's bulk insulation which is made out of products like glass-wool or sheep's wool and a metal one which is just like thick aluminium foil. Insulation helps keeps your house cool in summer and warm in winter. It's like a big thick blanket, which cuts down how much heat runs in, and out, of the house. By helping control the temperature of your house you don't have to spend as much on things like air conditioning or heating. It all seemed like a pretty good idea to the 1 Federal Government so it started up a program to help people get their homes insulated. They spent $2.5 billion dollars on a scheme to give people money to install insulation and to create jobs during the economic downturn. And it seems like it helped. More than one million homes signed up to get insulation and more installers were employed. The demand was so huge that even some people who didn't have any experience or training in installing insulation found work. But things went terribly wrong. KIRSTY: You may not know this but there's more than just insulation up here. There's heaps of electrical wiring and connections to lights and power. If the installer doesn't know what they're doing this area can become really dangerous. If metal staples are put through a power cable or light fittings are dodgy they can connect with the foil insulation. This makes the whole roof electrified and if you touch it you can get electrocuted. The insulation program has led to four deaths and more than 90 house fires. Jessica is the sister of one of the victims and she wants answers. JESSICA WILSON, SISTER: Unfortunately, it did take the death of my brother, but I want someone responsible for this, and I think the Government needs to wake up and just start taking action. The deaths and damage have pushed the government to scrap the program and order a safety inspection of all homes that have had foil insulation installed. It's estimated that around 37,000 homes need to be checked and some of those could have electrified roofs. They're also randomly checking houses with other types of insulation. It's bad news for insulation companies that are stuck with truckloads of stock and for workers who are being sacked. Most of the blame is being dumped onto one person - the Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett. TONY ABBOTT, OPPOSITION LEADER: Is it Minister Garrett who should be sacked and not those 14 workers in his own electorate? The Opposition wants the Minister to be fired but the PM has pulled the attack back on him. KEVIN RUDD, PRIME MINISTER: I as Prime Minister of the country am responsible. So for now, the government is trying to help businesses and workers deal with the mess and it will bring in a new program later this year. Presenter: And late last week the PM decided Environment Minister Peter Garrett won't be looking after the insulation scheme from now on. 2 India Sport Reporter: Catherine Ellis INTRO: OK, three massive international sporting events are set to take place in India this year, which will see some of Australia's best cricketers, netballers and athletes make the trip overseas. But will they? Some don't want to go because they're nervous. As Catherine explains, they're not nervous about competing, they're nervous about their safety. CATHERINE ELLIS, REPORTER: As Australia's men's hockey team, the Kookaburras arrived in India amid tight security for the Hockey World Cup, some of the country’s best cricketers back home met to decide whether they even feel safe enough to go to India for the Indian Premier League this month. And discussions continue about whether Aussie athletes will be okay to compete in the Commonwealth Games there in October. Why? Well because terrorist attacks in India aren't uncommon and a terrorist group has sent warning for athletes and sporting teams to stay away. India is north-west of Australia in Asia. And in the city of Pune, just a few weeks ago there was a deadly terrorist attack at a crowded bakery. In November 2008 attacks at luxury hotels and popular tourist restaurants in the country’s biggest city, Mumbai, killed 175 people - 25 were foreigners including two Australians. CATHERINE: Terrorists do things that are designed to shock people and attract attention, usually to scare people into listening to their political or religious views. India loves its sport and is hoping to hold a successful Commonwealth Games so they can have a chance at bidding to host an Olympic Games. So by terrorists threatening to ruin that for them, they'll be getting all the attention they desire! But Indian Authorities are doing the best they can to make athletes safe. 3 They've already promised huge security measures for the Commonwealth Games - some of our Aussie netballers visited there recently. NATALIE VON BERTOUCH, AUSTRALIAN NETBALL TEAM: We had a bit of a look in the athletes’ village which was absolutely magnificent. Very, very high standard that they've set. It's not completed yet but I think they'll definitely get that done and it will be looking very good. We also got to look at our training venue and our competition venue which again aren't completed but are getting close. When I was in there I felt safe. The Commonwealth Games is being held in one spot but the trouble with the Indian Premier League is, it's spread over a number of cities so it will be much harder to police. Star cricketers, Shaun Tait and Simon Katich are worried about going and Blues paceman Bert Cockley is almost relieved he missed out on making the team. BERT COCKLEY, CRICKETER: I think those sort of situations you have to put your safety first it's um, you know you can go over there and not come home really. Hockey Australia decided it was okay to go after security experts said the threats to their comp weren't serious. The cricketers say they'll go if security measures are improved. And officials in India say they'll use the Hockey tournament over the next few weeks to practise their security measures to ensure a safe, successful Commonwealth Games in October. Presenter: Looks like there's no easy answer there, so we'll make that this week's poll. Poll Do you think Aussies should travel to India to play sport? If you'd like to have your say, go to our website. Mash 2010 Reporter: Nathan Bazley 4 INTRO: You might have seen Mash, the TV show about a mobile army hospital set during a war 60 years ago. Well in this next story you'll get to see the real MASH - an American Army hospital working near the frontline in Afghanistan right now. Many of the people working there were still in school when the war started - but these days they face helicopter evacuations, fire fights and surgical operations in tents. They're doing everything they can behind the scenes to try to help the injured survive. NATHAN BAZLEY, REPORTER: These mountains may look deserted, but they've been playing host to a bloody and bitter war now for nine long years. This is Logar Province in Afghanistan and this is America's war on terror. The fight against the Taliban has been going on for so long, many of the soldiers fighting and dying here were still in school when it all began after the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001. And with President Obama ordering more troops to this battleground, more casualties will surely follow. And when that happens, the men and women of this surgical base will have the task of trying to save them. This is the 8th Forward Surgical Team, a group of evacuation pilots, doctors and nurses working out of tents in the middle of the desert. Their job is to fly out and pick up injured soldiers and rush them back here as soon as possible. Once into these makeshift operating theatres they do everything they can to try to save their lives. If soldiers make it into one of these tents alive, 98 per cent of the time they're going to stay that way.

This is the startling message of the evolutionary history of humankind. Our teeming, industrialised, networked existence is not some gradual and inevitable outcome of human development over millions of years. Instead we owe it to an extraordinary experiment launched a mere ten thousand years ago*. No-one could have predicted this experiment from observing the course of our previous evolution, but it would forever change the character of life on our planet.

  • The Perth Sound in the 1960S—
    (This is a combined version of two articles: ‘‘Do You Want To Know A Secret?’: Popular Music in Perth in the Early 1960s’ online in Illumina: An Academic Journal for Performance, Visual Arts, Communication & Interactive Multimedia, 2007, available at: http://illumina.scca.ecu.edu.au/data/tmp/stratton%20j%20%20illumina%20p roof%20final.pdf and ‘Brian Poole and the Tremeloes or the Yardbirds: Comparing Popular Music in Perth and Adelaide in the Early 1960s’ in Perfect Beat: The Pacific Journal for Research into Contemporary Music and Popular Culture, vol 9, no 1, 2008, pp. 60-77). Brian Poole and the Tremeloes or the Yardbirds: Comparing Popular Music in Perth and Adelaide in the Early 1960s In this article I want to think about the differences in the popular music preferred in Perth and Adelaide in the early 1960s—that is, the years before and after the Beatles’ tour of Australia and New Zealand, in June 1964. The Beatles played in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide but not in Perth. In spite of this, the Beatles’ songs were just as popular in Perth as in the other major cities. Through late 1963 and 1964 ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand,’ ‘I Saw Her Standing There,’ ‘Roll Over Beethoven’ and the ‘All My Loving’ EP all reached the number one position in the Perth chart as they did nationally.1 In this article, though, I am not so much interested in the Beatles per se but rather in their indexical signalling of a transformation in popular music tastes. As Lawrence Zion writes in an important and surprisingly neglected article on ‘The impact of the Beatles on pop music in Australia: 1963-1966:’ ‘For young Australians in the early 1960s America was the icon of pop music and fashion.’2 One of the reasons Zion gives for this is the series of Big Shows put on by American entrepreneur Lee Gordon through the second half of the 1950s.
