Our Journey

Liz Hayes has just been to the ultimate family reunion. An incredible journey through time that began with Liz’s mum and dad in Taree, New South Wales, and ended with her long-lost relatives in the heart of Africa. Like many Australians, Liz caught the ancestry bug and decided to research her family tree. But as usually happens, Liz soon hit a dead end. After a few generations, all the written records simply dried up. Then science came to the rescue. Turns out, we all carry our family history with us, a secret code hidden in our DNA. And that code eventually took Liz back 2000 generations - more than 60,000 years - to where we all began.

Bound for Glory

It's OK, there's nothing wrong with a bit of national pride now and then. A surge of excitement for the good old green and gold. Especially with the Olympics on the way and our best and brightest just itching to get to Beijing. They're at it, day and night, single-minded in their quest to win gold for Australia. All bound for glory. None more so than the three stars of this story. A truly great swimming champ, a hip, young sprinter and a living legend, gearing up for his sixth Olympic Games. Inspiring stuff, for sure, and exhausting too, as our Olympics reporter Michael Usher discovered.

The Enforcer

We've been warned, watch out for inflation. Keep an eye on the unions, keep wages under control. No wonder the government and the bosses are nervous. And so they should be, according Joe McDonald. Who's Joe McDonald? Well, he's been branded a bully and a thug, a working class hero and public enemy number one. He's the last of the old-time rabble-rousers, the enforcer for one of the country's most powerful unions. So hard-headed, in fact, that even the Labor Party turfed him out. And you can be sure that if the workers do start a new war over wages and conditions, Joe McDonald will be leading the charge.
