Four corners - an old show from 2007 , "Global Meltdown"
Paul Barry was (sadly) spot on.
I saw the 7.30 Report and don't recall anything about prop shops.Hi guys,
I was sort of watching the 7.30 report tonight whilst washing up, the discussion was about the market meltdown, the reporter was talking to a guy who worked for a company of which I didn’t catch the name, his outfit had a group of young traders in casual gear in front of huge screens, I couldn’t make out what they where up to.
I was just wondering what these guys were doing, I have heard mention of prop shops before on this forum which I initially assumed to be a propeller overhaul shop but was obviously mistaken,
Could someone shed some light on what this particular outfit is all about and what those young kids were trading?
Thanks.
Cutz.
2nd episode tonight 7.30pmGalapagos - ABC tonight 7.30(for wassies)

Proof positive of the dramatic directions evolution can take on isolated islands.
Seed Hunter is a one-hour documentary, as part of the ABC's Future Makers series, about the hunt for seeds that may help save the world from its greatest ever crisis - a global food shortage brought about by human-induced climate change.
As Australia and much of the world wrestles with hotter weather and a dwindling water supply, mass starvation on a global scale is on the cards if we can't find ways to improve crop resilience. Scientists are exploring many solutions to adapt our food supply, including going back to Mother Nature herself to locate the genes that can withstand our changing climate; genes that, thanks to a high-yielding monoculture, have almost disappeared.
Australian scientist Dr Ken Street, aka the 'Seed Hunter', spends his life searching for the tiny seeds that could play a role in helping food producers around the world. This film follows Dr Ken, the 'Indiana Jones' of agriculture, on a journey from the drought-ravaged farms of Australia, to the heart of the Middle East, to the mountains of Tajikistan as he hunts for elusive wild chickpea that can survive temperatures of 40 degrees above and below zero. ... etc
At journey's end, Ken travels deep into the Arctic to deliver his precious bounty of seed to the impenetrable 'doomsday vault', built as a back-up for the world's seed supply of every food type known to humankind
Great show on Harold Holt tonight (8.30pm)
Also he was on morphone for arm/back pain ... wouldn't have helped his judgment (diving into superwild surf full of serious rips).
Brilliant night on ABC TV1!
Bill Leak painting June Salter ..
followed by the Howard Years! - sheesh how good does it get lol.
doh
I just twigged that Keith Murdoch, the war correspondent who featured in last night's excellent ABC show about WWI on how John Monash won the war - and incidentally who tried to get him taken off the front line earlier in his career - which could easily have cost the Allies the war - was Rupert's father
Definitely worth a doh...but a bigger doh must be reserved for the
conspiracy theorist far-right wing group in the US who believe anyone
successful either practises Judaism or once did...they believe the Murdochs
converted to Christianity. After watching Monash, I think it would be hard
to convince anyone that Ruperts old man was kosher
Re: Howard Years, some interesting topics...however Peter Reith looks like he
just tore of the wig and hastily wiped off the makeup before sitting down to
be interviewed. Very weird looking chap.
As for Costello, I guess all that skepticism about his 'liberal' views that came
out during his book launch can be put to bed, he very much is a liberal minded
individual in a pseudo-liberal party
