No Hopetoun
It was a modern day Klondike. The mining boom created a frenzy
of Kiwi immigration to Hopetoun in Western Australia for the big
wages and lifestyle being promised by the nickel miners: more than
$100,000 a year, week on week off, for a storeman for the next 20
years, they said. Then the bubble burst; the recession kicked in,
and now the Kiwis have no jobs, no future, no hope ... and big
mortgages. Their Australian dream is over - where do they turn?
Two Days In Hell
It was scorching hot, tinder dry and blowing a gale. All the
signs were there and the radio warnings had gone out ... but could
anything have prepared Victoria for the firestorm that ravaged
their state? How did the fires happen? What happened to the
emergency preparations? Why did so many Australians have to die?
SUNDAY watched as the crisis unfolded.
Plastic Fantastic
Barbie looks pretty good for 50. This ever-lithe dame with the
bizarre, elongated figure and missile shaped breasts still turns
heads - selling three dolls every second somewhere around the
world. No doll outshines her celebrity, but she's also come under
criticism for offering girls an unrealistic expectation of
womanhood and inspiring eating disorders.
SUNDAY examines
Barbie's career.
