Hello again from Ralph Neal and in tonight's late news we'll have details of the strike by flight engineers
which has stopped about half of the flights of TAA. Also Mr Peacock retained by the Liberal Party
as its federal leader, the state government to reorganise workers compensation and overseas the
death toll and the Tehran hijacking continues to grow. Join me for these and other stories just
after half past ten. This year Christmas shopping is as easy as ABC. The ABC shops offer great ideas
for all ages. What are the seven C's? Is there a simple way to keep bread fresh? Is there a remedy
for sea sickness? The answers to these questions and many others are available in ABC radio's
wildly successful Q&A collection, volume two. Prickle Farm round two. Self-styled prickle farmer
Mike Hayes with his usual Witton style has added another slew of stories about the worst farm in
Australia with a sort of a foreword written by Charlie the incredibly intelligent sheep.

Palau, a mid-pacific nation facing an agonising dilemma. The United States wants this corner of
paradise for its nuclear defence forces. Palauans want American aid but they also want to stay
nuclear free. We lose our identity, our self-respect as Palauans. We lose our land.
We lose our water. We lose our livelihood. The United States is going to take whatever
action is necessary to maintain peace in the Pacific and that's the bottom line.
A tiny island nation caught in the struggle for nuclear supremacy.
That's Paradise Lost next on Four Corners.
