Then there's the professional woman in her late thirties who unexpectedly fell in love, became a mother, and two and a half years later finds herself a single parent living in a cold, damp one-bedroom granny flat with her little daughter. Until she recently caught up with him, her ex had contributed nothing to their child's upkeep. She pays $200 a week rent, which leaves her $180 a week for all food and other expenses. She'd like to work part-time but can't afford childcare and is still on a waiting list. She can't afford a car. And finally there's the solo dad with three daughters. The oldest is six. They live in a comfortable house with a nice car but since his ex-partner died (they were separated) and he became the sole carer for the girls, he's given up paid work. Right now he's eating into his superannuation, while clocking up $75 debt each week. He hopes the right woman will come along to be a mother to the girls so that he can get back out into the workforce before the debt gets much bigger. The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates that by 2026 there will be between 1.1 million and 1.4 million sole parent families. In 2001 there were 838,000 sole parent families living in the country. Thanks to The Smith Family for their help with this story. There's a lot of everyday poverty going around among single parents.

They have been married for 30 years, so it really is a case of `never too late´ to learn something new. Craig had time on his hands, so he went to the studio and found that he just loved dancing and is working his way through his medal assessments. Ken and Bev agree that a competition dancing partnership is harder than a marriage relationship. They are making it work and winning trophies in the process.

The cancer he had beaten as a child had come back. At the age of 11 Luke had been diagnosed with an osteogenic sarcoma growing at the back of his left knee. Eleven years later, after being given the all-clear at 16, he´s been diagnosed with a malignant fibrous histiocytoma in his chest -- an extremely rare form of sarcoma in an extremely rare location and one which is particularly rare outside of childhood. Playing the Cancer Card is the funny and touching story of how Luke has spent his extended convalescence blogging online and laughing onstage about his tumour and its treatment, facing it head-on with humour and wit.

They speak about how they came to their understanding of history and the friends they have lost as a result. Israel´s official history has been challenged for some time now by Israel´s New Historians and one of the latest books challenging Israel´s historical narrative has come from Israeli society itself. Avraham Burg´s The Holocaust Is Over argues that Israel´s use of the holocaust has created a nation with a self image of victimhood, which allows all sorts of atrocities against The Palestinians...

In Australia, where the largest community of holocaust survivors lives, it has been difficult to break through the grip of the belief that Israel is the solution to ending discrimination and persecution of Jews, and must always be defended. But, this emerging voice among the Australian Jewish community is questioning the dominant story and actively supports Palestinian aspirations for justice and peace in their homeland. We speak to three Australian Jews who have thoughtfully and courageously spoken out, acted in support of Palestinians and battled their own families and communities to live their lives with integrity and candour.

Of these, many will have a partner who's cared for their loved one over months and sometimes years, but exhaustion sets in, their own health suffers, and they can't continue. The result is that after a lifetime together, couples find themselves separated - at the very time that companionship and shared memories are so important. Pauline, Bill, Nina and David are all experiencing this scenario. David still lives in the home he shared with his wife, Nina lives with her daughter, they both travel to the nursing home daily, a punishing schedule in itself, leaving them little time for other things. Pauline and Bill both live in the same retirement village as their partners, but in separate accommodation because of differing care needs. They all express disappointment and sadness that at this time in their lives there's no real alternative for them but to live apart.

The public were afraid of people like Shaynon, and the media misrepresented his condition, making people fearful not only of the HIV virus but also of people carrying it. Fear, confusion and misinformation abounded. At the age of 10 Shaynon believed his time had come. He began to act out and ran away from home, spending time in squat housing and eventually foster care. He also questioned his fate and the expertise of the medical fraternity regarding what they told him about HIV and AIDS. Birthday after birthday rolled around and at the age of 16 Shaynon took an interest in Jessica, whom he met while she was working at Hungry Jacks. They started dating. It wasn´t long before Jessica´s parents learned about Shaynon´s condition and her father told the love-struck Shaynon to stay away. But they were determined not to let Jessica´s parents get between them, and snuck around behind their backs. Today Shaynon and Jessica have been together for six years and now have two young children. We are aware Jessica is HIV negative, as are the couple´s two children. What´s intriguing is that Shaynon and Jessica conceived their little ones naturally and without practising safe sex procedures. Nor did Shaynon `wash his sperm´ -- a precaution usually taken by HIV infected individuals wishing to conceive. Having lived with HIV for 22 years, Shaynon has invested a lot of time into researching the virus. He has developed some pretty radical views about the ways in which HIV is transferred and how to avoid infection. Shaynon´s story is unique and confronting. The medical profession will not support his challenging stance about HIV but he is OK with this. An HIV free partner and healthy children are testament to his belief that there are a lot of misunderstandings about HIV. His lifespan has more than doubled the predicted time it was said he would live. Despite the odds, this is Shaynon´s story.

Part two of Losing Erin takes us into the streets and hospitals of Tijuana, as Erin's sisters continue to try and save her. tag:odeo.com,2008-10-11,23533705 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700 no Street Stories http://www.odeo.com/episodes/23533706-2008-10-05-Losing-Erin-Part-One When Perth mother Erin Berg sinks into the black hole of post natal depression, her sisters battle her and the mental health system to stop her falling through the cracks.

No longer able to continue working as an explosives operator on the mines, Barry now does some voluntary work, looks after the chooks and the dog at home, and does the best he can to be active and participating. Some days are better than others, and he admits that on a bad day he struggles to remember how to tie his shoe laces. On a good day, Dianne encourages him to talk about the old days -- their life together, the various jobs they've done, and she keeps a journal of 'Barry's stories' because she says 'if anything happened to me, those stories are gone, because Barry can't remember them any more'. For Dianne, who's the sole and full-time breadwinner in the household, there's the constant worry that while she's at work, Barry may get lost walking the dog, or worse. And she acknowledges that the day may come when she can no longer care for her husband of 30 years. In the meantime, they take each day as it comes, and try not to think about what the future holds.

The debate about whether women should be allowed to wear 'turban' to university has threatened the very core of the Turkish secular state. When Kemal Ataturk founded modern Turkey he discouraged women from wearing this symbol of Muslim belief. Today it is illegal for teachers, public servants and university students to wear it. For years some students have got around this ban by wearing wigs to uni. Since the 1970s students have been agitating to lift the ban and earlier this year the ruling AK Party, a religious party, did just that. However in June the Constitutional Court upheld the ban, saying that the Turkish Consitution is secular and so Turkish society should remain secular. In this program we hear from women who choose or choose not to cover their heads about this decision and their lives in contemporary Turkey.

Then there's the professional woman in her late thirties who unexpectedly fell in love, became a mother, and two and a half years later finds herself a single parent living in a cold, damp one-bedroom granny flat with her little daughter. Until she recently caught up with him, her ex had contributed nothing to their child's upkeep. She pays $200 a week rent, which leaves her $180 a week for all food and other expenses. She'd like to work part-time but can't afford childcare and is still on a waiting list. She can't afford a car. And finally there's the solo dad with three daughters. The oldest is six. They live in a comfortable house with a nice car but since his ex-partner died (they were separated) and he became the sole carer for the girls, he's given up paid work. Right now he's eating into his superannuation, while clocking up $75 debt each week. He hopes the right woman will come along to be a mother to the girls so that he can get back out into the workforce before the debt gets much bigger. The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates that by 2026 there will be between 1.1 million and 1.4 million sole parent families. In 2001 there were 838,000 sole parent families living in the country. Thanks to The Smith Family for their help with this story. There's a lot of everyday poverty going around among single parents.
