Perth experiment attempts to change jail model
MAXINE McKEW: In suburban Perth, a new experiment is attempting to change the idea of what a jail can be. The Boronia Women's Pre- release Centre is unlike any other prison in Australia. Set up to replicate a suburban neighbourhood, it's home to prisoners nearing the end of their sentences and is intended to prepare them for the challenges of life outside. Its supporters already claim success in preventing the revolving-door syndrome of the same people returning again and again to the prison system. But after only six months in operation, Boronia is under threat from a WA Opposition in election mode saying that the money would be better spent elsewhere. Mick [MICK O'DONNELL] reports. MICK O'DONNELL: [Pauline]'s son had to give up his job, while another daughter had to forsake university to take care of the toddler. Luckily, this year came the opening of Boronia, purpose built for the maintenance of family ties, especially the needs of little kids. After three agonising months apart, [Kayleigh] could rejoin her grandmother. MICK O'DONNELL: When the 7.30 Report last met [Courtney] 12 years ago, she was a street kid running wild around Perth railway station. She tells us that most of those she sniffed solvents with back then are now dead. But despite years in and out of institutions, Courtney has survived, and now has a chance at a new start in Boronia. Yet the State Opposition asks why the prisoners' facilities should be so fine, when here, patients rehabilitating from spinal injuries at a State hospital complex are in threadbare and rundown surroundings.
Indigenous Council head speaks out
[MICK O'DONNELL]: Here at Balga High School in Perth, [Sue Gordon] tells young Aboriginal girls about the discipline she learnt from a tough upbringing. MICK O'DONNELL: The Gordon inquiry helped bring a sea change in political attitudes - from the rhetoric of rights to responsibilities and the demise of the elected Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission, ATSIC. MICK O'DONNELL: Sue Gordon's first major public appearance, after being named the top adviser to government on Aboriginal affairs, was to endorse an innovative alliance between Aboriginal enterprise and big business.
Sligo lose sight in front of goals
Dublin City 0 Sligo Rovers 0 Sligo may have had Superman on their side last night but despite their extravagantly dressed supporter doing his utmost to will his team to victory, Rovers were left frustrated. Their spirited performance was more Louis Lane than Clark Kent but nevertheless a point on the road is a productive night's work in anyone's book. Indeed, with City pair Paul Shiels and Gavin McDonnell proving tough customers in midfield, Sligo, more often than not, bypassed the centre and instead focused their attention down the flanks where both Faz Kudozovic and Adam Hughes were eager to attack when afforded space. DUBLIN CITY: Rogers; Brennan, Malcolm, Keely, Doyle; [Derek Pender], Shiels, McDonnell, [Mick O'Donnell]; [David McGill] (Collins, 63); Freeman. Booked: McDonnell (41 mins).
WA cyclist on track for three golds
[MICK O'DONNELL]: That secrecy led to further trauma when [Janet Shaw] approached the man she'd been told was her biological father, television journalist Terry Willesee. MICK O'DONNELL: After DNA testing and tentative meetings, Terry Willesee and Janet Shaw cemented their relationship, so that she's now a welcome part of the large Willesee media clan. MICK O'DONNELL: Now, with the help of guide dog Lucy and her mother, Jill Shaw, Janet Shaw leads a crowded life, punctuated with visits to Lucy's favourite places.
Football: O'Donnell: Students have learned important lesson
UCD star Mick O'Donnell has stated his side's intentions to keep causing shocks.
Jimmy Little fighting fit after surgery
[Mick O'Donnell]: But the Derby collaboration was something of a stretch - how to incorporate [Jimmy Little]'s country crooning into the hip-hop music the Derby kids already know and love. MICK O'DONNELL: Here in Derby, Jimmy Little and Morganics have given the class the confidence to write about their own Australian lives. MICK O'DONNELL: Somehow, from among 20 kids on this project, four have to be chosen to fly to Perth to perform with Jimmy Little and Morganics in the festival.
Football: STUDENTS BACK AT TOP OF CLASS ; Dundalk 0 UCD 1
MICK O'Donnell fired UCD back to the top of the First Division table last night with the only goal of the game.
Burns specialist named Australian of the Year
KERRY O'BRIEN: The announcement of Perth plastic surgeon and burns specialist Fiona Wood as Australian of the Year is a popular one for all those who remember her remarkable work in the wake of the Bali bombing. Running the burns unit at the Royal Perth Hospital, Dr Wood supervised the treatment and recovery of many of the worst burns victims of the bombing. Having pioneered a revolutionary treatment to reduce scarring that involved a spray-on skin technique, Fiona Wood was well placed to respond. In a moment, I'll be talking with the daughter of a Yorkshire miner who came late to Australia. But first, Mick O'Donnell with this portrait of the surgeon and the patient who says he owes his life to a superwoman. MICK O'DONNELL: In the thick of that crisis, it was clear that, to Fiona Wood, this was more than just a prestigious job. As Australians sought meaning and comfort from this rude awakening to terrorism, the determination and innovative work of Fiona Wood's team showed many a way forward. The Bali aftermath highlighted the new techniques which Dr Wood and medical scientist Marie Stoner were developing for the treatment of burns, including their now famous spray-on skin. MICK O'DONNELL: Dr Wood has commercialised her ideas through the biotech company C3, now based in Cambridge but listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and employing 20 people here. Much of its funds go back into groundbreaking research. An average day, and this is what Fiona Wood has achieved before 6am.
Aussie sailor held in Bali jail
KERRY O'BRIEN: Australian sailor Chris Packer remains in a Bali police cell tonight facing possible charges of gun running in Indonesian waters. [Mick O'Donnell]: A police cell in Bali is a long way from Chris Packer's dream, cruising the world on his refurbished small freighter, the 'Lissa Avatui'. MICK O'DONNELL: One of the arrested man's brothers, Perth businessman [TONY PACKER], took his family on board the boat as it cruised up the Kimberley Coast to Darwin two months ago.
Writer haunted by the killing years
MAXINE McKEW: This Anzac Day marks 60 years since the final stages of World War II. Many of the remaining veterans of that bloody struggle are now reaching their twilight years, among them Tom Hungerford, the Western Australian writer whose unflinching depictions of jungle fighting are acknowledged as some of the best writing to come out of the war. Now, at the age of 90, Tom Hungerford is about to publish a new book of stories, and he says he has another four novellas in the pipeline. Mick [MICK O'DONNELL] reports on the life and times of an old soldier who still has plenty of fire in his belly. MICK O'DONNELL: Michael Crouch has written a biography of Hungerford, Literary Larrikin, which describes the soldier's strikes or jack-ups. TOM HUNGERFORD: He'd been writing about my war service: \"..Tom Hungerford was one of the outstanding soldiers in the AIF during World War II...\" I said, \"No, I said, you can't put that in the book.\" And I said, \"Take it out.\" He said \"No, I won't take it out.\" I said, \"OK then, I will withdraw any authority from the book,\" which I did.
