Summary
Natural Selection is a process which affects every species on Earth, including humans. Many people believe that as members of modern, technological societies we are immune to natural processes because we can modify our environment to suit our needs. This programme illustrates how Natural Selection continues to affect us all in fundamental ways that will determine our future survival as a species. Included in the programme is a brief explanation of Natural Selection, examples of how Natural Selection is operating all around us, how Natural Selection has affected human evolution and how it is still affecting our daily lives. The programme concludes with the reciprocal view of how modern human society is affecting Natural Selection processes in the environment, and the consequences for the future of life on Earth.

Summary
So many of us want to understand Aboriginal culture better - to know it is to understand that Aboriginal people in contemporary times still have important links to the Dreaming. However, what is really important is Aboriginal people are not 'frozen in time' and that like everything in modern society, over time it has the possibility to reinvent itself, transform and still maintain its authenticity and originality within a cultural context. This programme looks at a variety of new and emerging artists and their artistic expressions which still maintain all the integrity, authenticity and connectedness to a culture which continues to survive a barrage of external cultural influences.

Australia first sent troops to Vietnam in 1962 and increased this commitment, to include Operation Vietcong and Operation Full-On. By 1968, as Australian forces rose to over 8,000, opposition to conscription led to huge public protests. Australian forces withdrew in 1972, with a ceasefire signed in 1973.

Summary
With the court system in Australia often requiring people to endure protracted and expensive procedures, alternative means of resolving disputes are increasingly important - not just to ensure that disputes are settled fairly and justly, but to also relieve pressure on the court system. Aimed at senior level students of legal studies, this programme outlines a range of alternative dispute resolutions, how they work, their suitability for different situations and their effectiveness. Mediation, negotiation, arbitration and collaborative approaches to law are examined in detail as alternative means of resolving disputes, and a range of areas where disputes commonly surface are explored - including family, workplace, property and consumer affairs. Lawyer, Catherine Gale offers a variety of expert comments on various aspects covered. This programme is a perfect introduction to the nature and mechanisms of alternative dispute resolution accessible to people every day, and would also be suitable for teachers of SOSE, Ethics and English Issues who are exploring the broader areas of social justice and equity in society.

Summary
The 2007 Federal election was a watershed moment in Australian politics; a fresh-faced but inexperienced leader faced a battle-hardened veteran whose ideas, many said, felt stale. With the youth vote targeted like never before, VEA captured the thoughts, hopes and aspirations of five young people as they voted for the first time. Roxxy, Fin, Ben, Ella and Chris shared with us their thoughts on democracy, compulsory voting, Australia's parliamentary system and how they would decide who to vote for via the policies, personalities and media influence. This engaging programme is fascinating reflection on the decision-making process and political engagement of this complex generation.

Summary
In 2008, the people of Carteret Islands in the South Pacific began relocating to mainland Bougainville as their atoll home became inhabitable. They are among an emerging class of global citizens - environmental refugees. In this award-winning film we see and hear first-hand exactly what the impacts are on these unique people, how much life has changed in just one generation and what the future holds for them. It is one thing to understand the impact of climate change, but another thing entirely to see it in this brilliant film. This is a moving and compassionate look at our most vulnerable neighbours and a slowly emerging catastrophe.
