00:00Ten o'clock Wednesday night, First Take, a series of experimental films by young Australians from the Film and Television
00:07School in Sydney and the Swinburne Institute of Technology in Melbourne.
00:12First Take, a showcase of the innovative work of the next generation of Australian filmmakers.
00:18This week, It's a Living, directed by Laurie Kirkwood and Dreamhouse, directed by Sally Pryor.
00:25First Take, ten o'clock Wednesday on ABC.
00:31Next, in Australian Impact, the story behind one of the most sensational demonstrations in Australian labour history.
00:38In September 1982, 400 coal miners employed by Australian iron and steel were to lose their jobs.
00:44Shocked and angered, 31 miners of the Camira pit occupied the mine.
00:48The company called it industrial blackmail.
00:51The miners took their protest to Canberra and, in an unprecedented move, broke down the doors of Parliament House,
00:57demanding to see the Prime Minister, Mr Fraser.
01:01Camira, Diary of a Strike, Australian Impact, 7.30 Saturday, on ABC.
01:12The shuttle carrying OSAT is now in space, three days later than planned.
01:17Paul Lockyer watched the launch at two minutes to nine, Eastern Time tonight,
01:21but it was touch and go until the last minute,
01:23as NASA controllers waited for a gap in heavy cloud near Cape Canaveral.
01:27Seven, ten, nine, we have a go for main engine start,
01:32and we have main engine start.
01:34Four, three, two, one, ignition, and liftoff.
01:41Liftoff of A-51I and the commercial deploy and repair mission.
01:46It has cleared the tower.
01:49Roger, roll, discovery.
01:51Roll program initiator, Houston now controlling.
01:55Roger.
01:56Australian officials at Auckland Airport stopped an African politician
02:00from boarding a flight to Sydney tonight.
02:02Secretary-General of the Southwest African People's Organization,
02:05Andimba Toivoja Toivo,
02:07was making a 90-minute transit stop at Auckland
02:10when he was refused a visa to enter Australia.
02:13The refusal came after he declined to accept conditions
02:15which would limit what he could say during his time in Australia.
02:19Mr Toivo and an aide were flying to Canberra
02:22to attend a conference on independence for Namibia.
02:25The French Prime Minister is to announce in about an hour and a half
02:28his response to the French report on the Greenpeace bombing
02:31which cleared the French government and Secret Service of direct involvement.
02:36New Zealand Prime Minister David Lange has rejected the finding
02:39and is incensed that the French had spies in his country at the time of the attack
02:43and he's called on the French to apologise.
02:45He also wants three of the spies to be extradited to New Zealand.
02:50What normal civilised conduct demands
02:52is that they would make available those three for trial in New Zealand.
02:57Notwithstanding the fact that there is a presumption against extradition by France of their own nationals.
03:03Now surely they can make them available at least for questioning those three
03:10and not continue this obvious obstruction.
03:14Now tomorrow's forecast.
03:16Sydney fine 20 degrees, Canberra fine and 17, Darwin a fine 32 degrees.
03:21Good night.

03:40Hello.
03:41This is a good morning fairy.
03:43I don't understand.
03:45Is why you need to impress them?
03:46I would have thought you'd have grown out of them by now.
03:48Oh, I have.
03:49I should have come.
03:52Off Peak, 8.35 Saturday night on ABC.
