A Shit of a Job -- It's a central Marxist maxim is that
workers make society run so workers should run society. This is well illustrated
by those workers who literally do the “shit jobs”. The country would cruise
along happily if every significant CEO in the country dropped dead at midday,
but what if all the sewerage workers, plumbers, nurses, child-care workers
and doctors took a simultaneous holiday? We'd be up Shit Creek without
a paddle. SBS, Tuesday, March 28, 8pm.
The Terrorist and the Superpower -- According to US propaganda,
the mysterious and seemingly omnipresent Osama bin Laden is behind just
about every anti-US terrorist action, those carried out and those planned.
This program looks at the man the US loves to hate (especially loved because
his spectre can be used to justify the billions of dollars of US “defence”
spending in the post-Cold War era) and asks: Is he really as much of a
threat as he is made out to be? SBS, Tuesday, March 28, 8.30pm.
