Liz Jackson visits Indonesia during the last days and hours of the reign of President Soeharto and finds a region in turmoil. Riots rocked Jakarta and students occupied the National Parliament buildings; Jackson recorded the moments leading up to the end of Soeharto's regime and the program was put to air within a week. - On the Right Track?E8
On the Right Track?Next year the Victorian Government plans to have the old public transport monopoly, the trams, the trains and buses, in private hands. So this journey takes us from one extreme of protectionism towards another of privatisation. These are big changes with real impacts for ordinary people's work and lives - The Men Who Saved AustraliaE9
The Men Who Saved AustraliaThe stories of the men who saved Australia by fighting the Japanese on the Kokoda Trail should be well known, should be retold, not just because they are so utterly remarkable, but because they tell us so much about what ordinary Australians can do - Troubled WatersE10
Troubled WatersAs Australian Jews celebrate Israel's 50th birthday, Sasha Elterman is celebrating her own survival. Four other Australians weren't as lucky. They died last year at what should have been another celebration of Jewish unity. Four Corners examines the Maccabiah tragedy -- how one of the world's biggest sporting events ended up in Troubled Waters. - Many Happy ReturnsE18
Many Happy ReturnsOn September 18 Christopher Skase turns 50. He might toast his victory over Australian regulators having shunned our courts, defeated extradition and won the right to travel as a citizen of Dominica. How did he do it, what has it cost him and what have we learned in the 10 years since his last big birthday bash? - Brothers in ArmsE24
Brothers in ArmsThe Anzac legend is like a cenotaph, an empty tomb in our own history. Eighty years after the end of the Great War, so much of the story of the Anzac remains unverifiable, unresolved. This program is about how the formula was found that ended the slaughter on the western front, and how much honour is due the digger.
