Hello and welcome to Sex Life. It's your honeymoon. There's champagne, flowers, romance, a beautiful honeymoon suite and a brand new husband or wife. It can be the most memorable evening of your life. Well, later we will show you how to make sure your first night of marital bliss is the hottest honeymoon ever. But first, we all know that pornography exists, but few of us know when and why pornography started and where it came from. Well, Jodie Young is about to reveal all when she takes us on an intriguing journey into the history of pornography. Back in 1951, a bar called Baha'i Had in Nashville, Tennessee installed a life-size portrait of an attractive naked young woman for the benefit of its clientele. By all accounts, the snapshot looks something like this, which was considered pretty tame even by the standards of the day. The photo in question barely raised an eyebrow until one day the lady's husband, who'd never suspected his wife was interested in erotic photography, arrived at the bar to do some electrical repairs and promptly took the high hat to court. What began as a trivial dispute soon grew into a national debate over the definition of pornography. The presiding judge ruled that as a piece of art, the picture was quite acceptable, but as bar decor, it was unquestionably obscene. Well, I think that, you know, there's always been this obsession about what's porn and what's art, you know. But let's face it, I mean, fine art has legitimised an awful lot of babe-watching under the guise of, you know, high culture. And, you know, this desire to police the boundaries between porn and art amuses me, frankly. I mean, art is, you know, often sexually arousing. And sometimes pornography is more visually interesting than a lot of famous artworks. Perhaps the best definition of pornography is a work either primarily or solely aimed at stimulating an erotic response in the viewer. A key factor in distinguishing high culture from high sleaze has always been context. In other words, is there a reason for it? Explicit illustrations of the Kama Sutra demonstrated sexual technique. These 18th century engravings, as crude as they are, served a political purpose, singling out the hypocrisies of the church and the court. Though whether the representation is social, mythological or religious, it's hard to believe these depictions of human sexuality never raised a hot flush or a lewd thought. If pornography had a turning point, it came with the birth of photography. The first photo ever taken was a street scene outside the inventor's workshop window. But it wasn't long before the term exposure took on another meaning entirely. The next minor revolution came with moving pictures and the blue movie. But Victorian morals deemed even this early example too risque and imposed this unique form of censorship. But don't fool yourself that explicit movies are a recent phenomenon. It's just that in days gone by, they were mainly underground. If this historic footage from the 20s was released today, it would attract a very strict classification because its content is so similar to today's X-rated videos. They think that we do tend to project innocence back onto the past. Stag films made in the early 20th century were fairly graphic. You know, close-ups of people having sex. So one of the things that film as a technology has allowed us to do as a society is to stare at other people. You know, and that's something that we're not allowed to do, even often with our lovers. Perceptive viewers will have noticed that not much has changed in the last 70 years. Each film kicks off with a simple, distinct and generally fairly hokey premise. Well, it's interesting isn't it? I think that it's perhaps an excuse. People feel that, you know, if there's a little bit of a plot happening then it justifies watching the sex. I think it's to make it real too. There are a lot of sex films around at the moment, really high-budget, good-quality porn videos, which are fine and they sell very well, but the ones that really sell are the ones that are real. And it's the plumber turning up and shagging the housewife over the washing machine. And the attraction of it is that that could happen to you. Which brings us to publishing and the common furtive ground shared by all but the most hardcore films and magazines. Unlike Playboy, Australian hustler never tried to alleviate the sense of guilt so commonly felt in its readers by supplementing their issues with serious articles. They achieve the same ends, though, with humour. Certainly there's an element that does reduce the guilt. If you can go from a picture of a gorgeous naked woman or a couple having sex to a cartoon that makes you laugh, it does remove that feeling of dirtiness or whatever. It's interesting to me because it's sending up the very desire that it's also producing, if you like. And I also think that quite clearly People magazine is definitely begging for a good maternal spanking by feminists. They want to get mum's attention, they want women to get upset about it. In recent years, pornography has extended its reach, embracing the smaller though significant interests of women, gays, lesbians and fetishists. And whether it's tucked under the mattress or beamed in on the net, it seems there'll always be a ready market. I think that that is fascinating, I think humans do like to stare, we are weird. Coming up, sizzling honeymoon sex. And when your pregnancy is a well-kept secret. What do they find? No drugs, no money, no gun. That's when I realised that I'd made a mistake.

So the wedding's over, the guests have gone home and it's just the two of you all alone in your honeymoon suite, possibly for the very first time. Now this is a night of special passion, a night that you will remember forever. So to help get you in the mood, sex therapist Jan Hall has a few tips on planning and carrying out your most romantic honeymoon fantasies. A honeymoon is a key turning point in any relationship and one that can set the path for your future sex life together. Lovemaking is the most wonderful opportunity on the first night of marriage to just move into something that's special, that's your very unique bond and that's what the marriage is all about. So it is symbolic, that old fashioned thing about being carried over the threshold. It is a threshold that you're entering into and that's what you're going to be able to be entering. It's a new game that you're playing, it's a wonderful commitment that's saying that this time you really are monogamous. As with so many relationship issues, it is important to be aware of your own expectations and of those of your newly married partner. Darling I want to get some fresh air. I think men and women have quite different expectations of the honeymoon and perhaps that's because of the way that we're wired up and what we really want to get out of life. Men typically want to have a really, really good time at sex and somebody told me that his ideal honeymoon was to be locked in a bedroom for a whole week, whereas I think most women would like the good sex, sure, but they also want romance. They want to walk on the beach holding hands, they want to look at the moon, they want to have romantic dinners by candlelight and be danced around the room and in general just have the most wonderful, sort of surreal, romantic time. To make your honeymoon even more memorable, why not bring along a few special items? I'm all for planning your honeymoon to make it special for making love. Oh, there's so many things that you could do as long as you've talked about what your expectations are. For instance, bring some what I call equipment from home. So I think one of the ideal pieces of equipment is some kind of sound system and some of your favourite sort of really gooey, gushy, romantic or sexy pieces of music and you can do things like dirty dancing at your own pace and make it a really special time. While you're enjoying your honeymoon, there are things you can do to plan your future sex life together. I'd also encourage those people who really want to grow with their marriage and develop lovemaking to a higher sense to sit down together during the honeymoon and create your sexual vision. That is that you each write down all the things that you want out of sex and then share them and make sure that you clear what we call misunderstood words. You know, what words are you going to call your genitals in future? If you want to say to each other, I feel like it, how about you? What's going to be some good phrases? It is very important you don't take this time for granted and that you enjoy all the moments you have together. See if you can slow time down. Do things in a dreamlike state and really concentrate on the sensuality of that time together. You'll never get as much time in your whole life again, especially once kids come along or if you're just in a sandwiching in the honeymoon between a busy work schedule. So number one is to save time, make time just for you. The second thing is to make it a safe space. Don't have other interruptions, particularly tell work to, you know, just rack off for the week. There are some important things to take into account when planning the dates of your honeymoon. I think it's really important that the woman takes the responsibility to plan her honeymoon around her menstrual cycle and yet that can be a little bit difficult because it's such a time of stress and feeling pressured that that can often bring on a period just when you least expect it. And certainly if anybody's suffering from PMS, I would really, really counsel that you don't do it before a period. And the woman's menstrual cycle is not the only thing the couple have to consider. There are also some things the man should take into account as the honeymoon begins. There's some dangerous things that can happen during your honeymoon and for men you have to be very careful that you don't have what we call a failure. Now I know that in a sense the woman would say, well it doesn't matter, we know you've been very stressed, but I know that some guys get really hung up on that. Overdoing the amount of sex you have in the first few days may lead to some problems later in the honeymoon. For a woman, one of the biggest dangers is what we call honeymoon cystitis and that's just one of these facts that if you do it too much you're liable to get sore. And I know of a lot of women who've found that just the first two days they've made love so many times that they've virtually injured themselves or perhaps caused themselves to have some kind of bacterial infection and that puts a damper on everybody, so just take it easy and don't overdo it too much and don't overdo it too quickly. Overdoing the amount of sex you have is not the only thing to avoid during the honeymoon. The other thing to really avoid during your honeymoon is fighting. Especially for those couples who've lived together prior to getting married, you know how to fight, you know how to do it really well, you know how to press each other's buttons. So take responsibility, you know, that old saying, do I want to be right or do I want to be happy? Just for your honeymoon be happy, make love not war.

Men rape each other in prison. That's a fact. How natural it becomes and how often it occurs largely depends on the length of the sentence and the instinct for survival. If a prisoner is transgender, that is female, but with male genitalia, she goes to a men's prison. According to the New South Wales Gender Centre, the reported rape rate for trannies on the inside is 100%. Ten guys in a cell and, you know, if you stand there and shake and shiver and go red and start crying, it's sort of like an invitation to say, well, I'm weak, help yourself. Crims often do clerical work in jail. They have access to the court lists. They know when a tranny is on her way and there is always a welcoming committee. The transsexuals, as soon as they come in, they are under that much of a microscope by every prisoner in there waiting to make his move on her in the shower. You feel like a slab of meat in a butcher shop one day. In total, Dusty has spent nine years behind bars. Penny's been in and out of juvenile centres and jails since she was 12, and Shane's been locked up in every state bar one at some stage over the last 16 years. He's heterosexual and very relieved about that. Blokes go up and punch him in the mouth and demand a head job and get it because they're still striving for what every human being in life is striving for, acceptance. You're either a good girl or a bad girl, I mean. Differentiate, what's the difference, good girl, bad girl? Well, a bad girl is somebody that will party with the whole block, and a good girl is somebody that will just stick with the one person. Dusty was a good girl, and in return for her exclusive sexual favours, she came under the protection of a lifer. Penny, on the other hand, was in the mood to party. I thought it was fabulous. Did you? I really did. I'm thinking to myself, well, here's one woman and 500 men, and you've got the pick of the litter as far as sex is concerned. You know, you have the pick of the litter. And there are plenty of mongrels worth avoiding. That's hard to do when you're the main feature for a captive audience. When I went in the first time, it was very flamboyant and very loud, very loud and obnoxious. After the first and second times, I learnt my lesson. You know, you go and you find the top dog. Who runs this place? Can I be your wife? Inside, it's called sheriffing, and it's how most trannies survive their stretch. You look at them, you think, is it worth it? Is he going to be able to make sure that I get what I need? Penny, did they fight over you? They did. How did you feel about that? As a woman, I felt really great. I was very flattered that men were going to stab, you know, were willing to go out and hurt somebody for me, and I felt really unwanted. She has got every Tom, Dick and Harry who wants to get in sweet with her bloke treating her like a queen. And so, oh, hello, can you tell Ray or whatever, Dickie or Freddie, I thought I, you know... Does that piss the prisoners off? Of course it would. It pisses me off. But then you get some very hard men who are very vicious criminals that sheriff them, and they'll belt people I've seen, friends of mine, beat the fuck out of a mate of his, all because he thought that he was moving in on his girl, his queen. They played judge, jury and execution on you. You learn that your survival is the most up, most important thing to you. Their obvious femininity gives trannies a double-edged sword on the inside. On the one hand, it makes them vulnerable. On the other, it makes them valuable. They turn to their trannies and ask for, you know, it's not just a sex thing for a tranny inside. If you're a specter, you could talk to gangs that are, you know, having conflict with one another. They're like, you know, it's all right. Don't fight. Don't kill them. It's all right. Even the most straightest of men. Chris, I've no doubt you're a heterosexual. You put you in jail in that sort of fear and loathing environment, and you've had an argument with your wife. You're not going to tell me there's someone walking past that looks like a female. You're not going to go and want to talk to her just to find out what your wife might be thinking. Not to have sex with her, but to find out. Feminine contact? Right. Corrective Services New South Wales is tipped to be the first system to tackle streaming transgenders into female prisons in line with the Anti-Discrimination and Other Acts Amendments Bill that became law on 1 October 1996. Implementing such a massive rethink will take considerable time, and when that time's being spent at Her Majesty's pleasure, then it makes sense to be Queen of the Castle. That's smart play, isn't it? Well, yeah, it's manipulation. Each and every one of us deals with a situation different to what some other girl would. Again, it comes to the good girl or the bad girl or the party girl. It all depends on which role you want to play. The whole jail wanted to know you, and, you know, the whole jail knew you, and every time you went back it was, yay, Penny's back, and about bloody time, and, you know, I started to enjoy it.

Saturday and Sunday, the V8s are only on 10. Welcome back to Sex Life. There is no greater surprise than to discover that you have fallen pregnant, especially if it was unplanned. To complicate matters, conception is something that you've never discussed with your partner, whether he was a one-night stand or is a long-term partner. So now you have to decide whether to tell him or not. Pregnancy can be a time of great confusion for many women, made harder if you're not sure you want to tell your partner. In this situation, it's often helpful to seek advice from a third party before making such a crucial decision. Specialists in the private sector, especially in the private sector, have a lot of experience in the private sector. They have a lot of experience in the private sector. They have a lot of experience in the private sector. Specialist counselling centres across the country address all sorts of maternity issues. The question of whether or not the father has the right to know about his child is a common one. Since 1988, Marie Burroughs has counselled thousands of women confused about the role their sexual partner should play in their child's life. She thinks it's a topic parents are now considering more seriously. However, the impact on the relationship itself can be difficult to predict, a factor often preventing open discussion. In my experience, people that are having babies today, they're much more conscious, they're much more committed to the quality of life and the quality of love that they can give a child. Nadia Danel is familiar with the devastating effect a pregnancy can have on a romantic attachment. Although her initial instinct was not to tell her lover she was pregnant, she convinced herself he should know. It was a decision she's since regretted. He was probably a little more shocked than me, probably, I think, because I think I kind of started feeling like I was pregnant before I actually went to the doctor, so I think he didn't get any of that. Nadia's former lover has played very little part in her life since the conception and has in fact never seen his daughter. However, Nadia is planning to be open with her daughter about her parentage. As long as she's old enough to understand, I think I'll just tell her the truth and hope she'll appreciate it, not hate me for it. I don't think I would ever refuse to tell him. I think if in life I speak to this man and we talk about it, there is no problem of secrecy that I'm hiding something, I don't believe it's anything I need to approach anybody with. Mary Love was determined the first person she shared her news with would be happy for her, so she told her flatmate. I think the very first person you tell when you are pregnant, the very first person you share it with, has a major impact on your whole pregnancy because it's like looking in a mirror, it's like looking at someone that says, you go, I'm pregnant, and they either go, wow, that's great, I love you, or they can go, ah, and you go, ah. When Mary conceived her fourth child, she was already well aware of the responsibilities and difficulties of motherhood. Her three children were delighted at her pregnancy, but she decided not to tell the father of her baby. I feel that it would have been a really messy situation, very hard to deal with for the father had I informed him. He may find out through this, he may know who he is, but that's as far as it will go. Whatever the circumstances surrounding the conception, the first question that must be addressed when a woman discovers she's pregnant is whether she can cope by herself. The baby requires a lot of love and a lot of attention, and I feel that if she can honestly say yes, I've got enough love to give rather than this baby will give me love and I'll feel needed, if she can say I've got enough to give this baby, that's the first question. Nadi is fortunate enough to have the backing of a network of friends and family to help her out while she's caring for her daughter. This allows her to spend quality time with her baby. Although not the father of her fourth child, Mary's husband Chris was very supportive of her pregnancy. This became all the more critical when her son was still born at nine months. Chris and their three sons have helped Mary through the intense grieving process. I mean, it's preferable if there is a mother and a father for a child to be read in a family, but it doesn't always happen that way. Considering more flexible family units can offer a more balanced and peaceful future for the baby and parents. Whatever choices you make, it's important not to compromise your child's future by harbouring negative feelings towards their biological father. In the end, it's up to you to make the difficult decision to tell the baby's father that you're pregnant, but it's vital to put the child's needs first. Whether you see them physically or psychically and emotionally, the child's going to say one day, where's my dad? Who is it? I want to meet them. There's no reason to regret when you follow what you think is the truth for you or you know is the truth. If it's wrong, right, hard, good or bad, you deal with it. Whatever decision you make when planning your life together, ensure that you and your child have the widest range of options. If you prepare for the future as much as possible, you can turn a surprise revelation into a celebration. Now, if you have told your partner of your unexpected pregnancy, you may be facing the harrowing decision of whether to have the baby or not. Later in the show, Dr Cindy Pam will explore one of the most emotionally charged choices available, that of abortion. Well, it's finally happened. Sex Life's bad lad Mark Stauffer has fallen in love and he's about to share with us just what a man in his position is going through. You never know, it could be serious. OK, you're the kind of guy who's always been in complete control of his love life. You're the kind of guy who's always been in complete control of his love life. You're a serial dater who's only ever dated chicks with substance, not substance. And then one day, disaster strikes. You actually like her a lot. You know it's serious when you talk about her constantly. Oh, no, it's just been bullish all week. I mean, I was saying to Rebecca last night, my girlfriend. Yeah, yeah, a couple of months. It's the first indication that your carefree bachelor days are over. You find yourself, whatever the topic, incorporating her into it. Oh, actually, do you sell any tofu? My diet has changed so much since I met Rebecca, my girlfriend. Have you got any more Jane Austen movies? Rebecca just loved this. She thought it was so romantic and just wonderful. I'm just wondering, is there any other stuff that... Have you met her? She is so amazing. I don't know, I think about it all the time, and when we have an argument or something, I can't work, I can't concentrate, I can't do anything. I don't even know the reason for the argument most of the time. I mean, do you think it could be PMS? You know it's serious when you invite her on a boys' night out. Cheers. Good to see you again. Boys' nights out are sacrosanct. There are no rules except for no girls. You know you're smitten when you insist on inviting her. Carla's on the bed. She's got the top off. She's jumping up and down like an animal. She's grinning from ear to ear. The tube of fantasy was in the left hand. It was unbelievable. Hi, Rebecca. This is Scotty and Alistair. Hi. Hi. Can I get you a drink? Yes, please. I've got Mark using moisturiser and toner now. Doesn't his skin look fantastic? Right. See? See? See? Fluffy duck? You know it's serious when sex is always good, period. You want to have sex constantly. I mean, make love constantly. Wherever, however, whatever, whenever. Oh, honey. It's actually that time of the... That time... That time of the month. You know it's serious when you turn down a famous chick. Love is blind, and you're in need of a braille penthouse if you turn down a tryst with a famous fox like this. You know it's serious when you turn down a famous chick. You know it's serious when you turn down a famous chick. You know it's serious when you turn down a tryst with a famous fox like this. Miss Goldsmith's over there would like to buy you a drink.

You know it's serious when you propose. You don't remember how, you don't remember why, but at some stage in the night the romance or the alcohol took over. What a nightmare.

It's often thought that if a man is aggressively getting what he wants then he's a high flying achiever. If a woman does the same thing, then she's considered a bitch. Well, if this is the case, women of the world unite. As Jodie Young has discovered, it's time to cast off that nice girl image and become a bitch. I'm your silly Stuart. I love the show. I always do. Oh, and great tie by the way. Yeah. Okay then. You too. Bye. These days niceties will get you nowhere. It's either bitch or be bitched about. Excuse me. Hello, this is Jodie. Oh, right. Guess what? I just had Stuart on the phone. I know. Can you believe that tie he was wearing? Please. Hey, Claudia at work. She's such a bitch. What does she do? She's always backstabbing me all the time. Look, don't worry. People like that never succeed. Yeah, what goes around comes around. That is so true. Look at that guy over there. He's so cute. I wonder what star sign is. Why does this always happen to me? Why does this always happen to me? Honey, take it from one who knows. Bitches always get what they want. It's the nice girl who's going to come out second best in the end. I mean, it's the law of nature, darling. Look. Lines. Yeah, I'm sick to death of being Girl Scout sweet.

Yeah, I suppose people like that never do, do they? Look at that guy over there. Isn't he cute? Oh no, he's gay. I actually know two guys that slept with him. Really? Yeah. I've really got to get down to Melbourne. Hi. Hi. I noticed you two were looking over. What's your friend's name? Jodie. Don't worry about her. Why? She's a fag hag. She's not interested in straight guys. She thinks they're too attainable. Oh, really? Would you like to join? Sure. To bitch or be bitched about? That is the question. It's better to be a bitch. To bitch. Bitched about, definitely. People bitch about you is because they're jealous about something, so it's not such a bad thing really, is it? No, that's right. What do you think of bitches generally? I think bitches are great. I'm one myself. Oh, fabulous. I think bitches are the best. Bitching's what makes the world go round. All right, darling, first rule of being a bitch, the makeover. Eyes, dark, black, lots of them. More, more, more. Straight, straight, green, green.

You're my hero. Oh, no, darling, oh, no. Once you've got the look, it only takes three simple steps to out-bitch the competition. Step one, bitches are smart, so devise a bitchy plan. Step two, bitches are fearless, carry it out. Sorry about that. Hi. And step three, back up your actions with further lashings of bitchiness, like soap. Don't worry about her, she's got more plastic than Tori's spelling. Really? Yeah. The good news, big-time bitching got the guy.

One of the choices facing a pregnant woman is whether to keep the baby or not. If she decides that the time is not right to bring a child into the world, she may consider terminating that pregnancy. Dr. Cindy Pan has this report on just what happens to a woman when she decides to have an abortion. Just a warning, this report contains discussions of the issues surrounding abortion that may offend some viewers. Staring down at baby Caitlin, Melissa feels the same way as most new mums. Day in, day out, I can't believe how gorgeous she is. It's just the best thing, it's absolutely the best thing. It's made my life, rather than made my life very difficult, it's really just made my life perfect. But things were far from perfect for Melissa 10 years ago when she found herself pregnant. I talked to my family about it and the father, and basically none of them wanted to know anything about it or support me in any way, emotionally, financially or anything. That left Melissa with two choices, adoption or abortion. An adopted child herself, Melissa didn't want that for her offspring. That left her with the other option, abortion. I think it's very, very important to be sure right up to the minute that you go through with it that that's what you want to do, and not that that's probably what you want to do, but that that's what you want to do and that you're really prepared to that. Early abortions were often dangerous and traumatic, sometimes performed by the women themselves or so-called backstreet abortionists, many of whom had no medical training. When abortion was legalised in the early 70s, clinics like this were set up by skilled medical teams allowing women to abort safely and for the first time with dignity and support. Certainly women were made to feel guilty for having had an abortion, which is I would say the biggest decision that a woman would ever have to make, not made lightly, and I think thank goodness now we do support women's choice in a safe environment. Counselling and talking through options is an essential part of the service at pre-term and the first stage for any woman thinking of termination, especially if she's wracked by indecision. There's always been a lot of shame around the word abortion, and so for a lot of women who couldn't talk about it, they've carried that within them, and when they're having counselling here, they're able then to express these feelings, and there's this great relief. I finally can talk to someone and feel I'm not going to be judged. Ten years ago I would have found it very hard to face everything alone, do the night feeds alone, not ever be able to give her to somebody when she was crying and let alone be a good mother. I think that's probably the hardest thing. I didn't think that I could bring a child into those sort of circumstances and be a good mother. Most women are surprised at the efficient and painless nature of terminations. They're best done in the first three months of pregnancy when the fetal sac is still very small. This Sydney office of preterm alone performs around 150 terminations a week on women who are up to 14 weeks pregnant. Preterm uses a process called vacuum aspiration to terminate pregnancies. This can be performed under local anaesthetic, intravenous sedation, or general anaesthetic, depending on the woman's preference. The process involves gradual dilatation or opening of the cervix. This allows the insertion of a thin plastic tube and the content of the uterus can be removed through gentle suction. The whole process takes only 10 to 15 minutes. Generally after 14 weeks the procedure changes because there are more products to remove. We place a cervix and a suppository into the cervix that acts overnight to stretch open the womb, soften and stretch the womb opening so that then we can remove the products safely without damaging the cervix for that woman. After termination most women experience tiredness, a period like cramp or pain. These feelings normally wear off by the end of the day. Complications with terminations, especially under three months, are uncommon. They include bleeding, infection and retained products of conception. At early stages of pregnancy the sac is so small that it can be tucked up in a corner of the uterus and we actually don't remove the pregnancy. The post-operative check at two weeks is important to ensure that there are no signs of infection, that the uterus has returned to its non-pregnant state, and also to ascertain that the woman has chosen a sound method of contraception. One concern of many women considering termination is the procedure's effect on fertility, but other than in very rare cases most women can go on to have happy, healthy babies. I think it's easier to be a mother when you can be relaxed and you can take time to be with the child and that you can provide for the child and you can be a good mother. It'll always be a difficult decision to make. That's why it's so important to be fully informed and be able to discuss all the options with your partner, your family or a counsellor. But if you do decide you need to have an abortion, don't feel guilty about your choice, because unlike a job or other things in life you can change, motherhood is forever. I guess the thing you've got to think about with a child is that a child is every day, all day for the rest of your life and there's no five minutes where you're not a mother. Do what you can live with and do what's right for you. Next week on the show, how to discover your hidden pleasure zones, the wedding to end all weddings and an expert's guide to erotic massage.

And stay with us now for 10 News. Oh, yeah. Tonight's late night news, brought to you by the Hyundai XL and MLC, where money matters. 10's late news with Sandra Sully. Tonight, Cheryl Kerner dumps the Democrats, vowing to topple Howard. I believe this government has to be defeated. Ozzie's injured as a deadly terrorist bomb rocks Sri Lanka, and history repeated, the first man to break the sound barrier does it again. Good evening. Former Democrats leader Cheryl Kerner says her passionate belief in the need to defeat the Howard government was her prime motive in her shock decision to join the Labor Party. But her greatest regret at the end of the day is the hurt she has caused her former colleagues. Tonight, Cheryl Kerner went on virtually every TV and radio network that wanted her to explain her shock decision to quit the Senate and the Democrat Party she led. My biggest regret of the entire day is the hurt I've caused to people I care about. Kept in the dark until 15 minutes before the public announcement, her deputy leader Meg Lees. My initial reaction was one of shock, and I think the trade's far too strong. Cheryl Kerner says she's the one who's changed, not the Democrats. She can no longer try to be even-handed with the Howard government. She now passionately wants to work to defeat it. My personal and growing sense of outrage at the damage being done to Australia by the Howard government. Democrats founder Don Chip can't understand the move, but... It was an act of conscience. It was a decision of integrity. Now, I don't depart from that. Good luck to her. Ms Kerner decided to quit two weeks ago, but held off the announcement because of the South Australian election. Both Labor and Liberal have sold out on South Australia. If you think they've gone too far, tell them in the only language they really understand, vote Democrat. I think it's the greatest betrayal since Billy Hughes. Cheryl Kerner pleads Federal Labor is willing to change. Certainly, Kim Beasley was purring today and promising big things for what he hopes will be Labor's newest star. Cheryl is going to play a very important role in our policy-formulating process and the exposition of it. The message out of today is that she has sensed a leadership vacuum in the Labor Party, and she's going for it. But first, Ms Kerner needs to win a seat. She'll seek Labor preselection for the marginal Liberal seat of Dickson in Brisbane's northern suburbs. I think it's great. Would you vote for her? Yes, I would. Would you vote for her here? Oh, no, I really don't know. I'd have to check up more about it. I don't think it's a good move, no. The incumbent, self-confessed wife-beater and brothel client Tony Smith, is looking forward to the fight. The seat will be a difficult seat to win no matter who was going to be the opposition. The six remaining Democrat Senators were organising a crisis phone hookup tonight. Of immediate concern, to cover the enormous hole left by the Kerner departure in committee and policy areas. Next concern, to find a new leader. Don Chip nominates the young South Australian Senator, Natasha Stott-Despoja. He's a magnificent person, a great Senator, and would make a fantastic leader. All Democrat members will have the final say in a national postal vote in the months ahead. For Buongiorno 10 News. Foreign Affairs officials in Canberra are trying to find out more about three Australians injured at a big bomb blast in Colombo. The toll from the massive explosion is eight. The Tamil Tigers took their war for independence to the heart of Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo. A massive truck bomb packed with explosives driven through what was meant to be one of the city's more secure areas and into the car park of the Galadari Hotel. Several Tamil Tigers got off the truck. There was gunfire and then moments later, around seven in the morning local time, the bomb went off. It left the crater six metres wide and three metres deep, destroyed 30 vehicles and shattered windows in two hotels and the World Trade Centre next door. Apart from the dead, scores were injured, although it could have been worse. The Tamil Tigers brought the battle to the doorstep of the rich and middle class in Colombo, but they did so on a public holiday. After the bomb, Colombo residents still were not safe. More gunfire ensued, a rare sound in a city far from the jungles where this war is usually fought. It went on for hours, hostages were taken and security forces closed in on the rebels who remained at large. Frank Guildford has weighed the death penalty for two nurses charged with murdering his sister in Saudi Arabia. He has accepted $1.7 million in compensation, most of which will be offered to an Adelaide hospital. An emotional Frank Guildford appeared at a media conference to put to rest a murder case that's caused him 10 months of anguish. I now believe that the time has come to make a final decision. As Lucille McLaughlin has been convicted as an accessory of the murder of my sister, and is therefore highly likely that Deborah Perry will be found guilty of the murder of my sister. Yvonne Guildford was killed in a Saudi Arabian hospital. Under Islamic law, the accused women could have been beheaded at Mr Guildford's request, but instead he's accepted $1.7 million. After legal costs, $50,000 will go to Mr Guildford, $9,000 to his mother, and the rest, a million dollars, will be donated to the Adelaide Women and Children's Hospital for a new wing to be named after his sister. Yvonne, of course, was a nurse who had a great love of children, and my family believe this will be a fitting tribute to her memory. The hospital has yet to decide whether to accept the money. The hospital is in need of funds. We currently are looking to refurbish our entire children's wards in the Good Friday building. I'd like to make clear that I have not accepted any blood money, as that is a specific sum under Saudi Arabian law of approximately $19,000, but have accepted compensation, which is an alternative to blood money under Saudi Arabian law. The British media was kept out of Mr Guildford's news conference. However, his decision will be communicated directly to Saudi authorities next week. Upon delivery of the waiver, the death penalty will be waived, and Mr Guildford's role in the case will end. Mr Guildford says he and his family are hoping to return to a normal life. Paul Macon, 10 News. One day after Andy Green broke the sound barrier on land, the first man to break the sound barrier in the air has done it again. American test pilot Chuck Yeager has proven he still has the right stuff, 50 years after that historic flight. High above California's Mojave Desert, an F-15 tore through the sky. The voice and the moment belonged to 74-year-old Chuck Yeager as he broke the sound barrier. That's 1.35 times the speed of sound. General Yeager, we've got the sound of freedom down here. That sonic boom hit the ground with a beautiful double crack. Congratulations. Roger. See you on the ground. It's been 50 years since Yeager made history in his X-1 rocket plane. His 1947 flight dispelled scientists' theories about a dangerous invisible wall of air, a barrier which would smash any plane going faster than sound. I got it up to about nine-six and we were in buffeting, and it'll mark me no needle fluctuated and went off the scale. And when it did, all the buffeting smoothed out because of that supersonic flow of the whole airplane, and we made the first sonic boom here at Miroc. The military said Yeager had the right stuff, and he's been working for them ever since. Since I've been flying in the front seat of Air Force airplanes now for 55 years and one month, General Engel, I'm going to give you back the keys to all your airplanes. But Yeager has no plans to retire. He'll keep flying for industry. Michelle Stone in the United States for 10News. Stay with us still ahead in tonight's late news, Italy's crushing quake.
