*To Burqa with my Father*
by RANDA ABDEL-FATTAH
"As soon as we arrived we were overwhelmed to find that here a person's 
roots were all that counted. From the hotel concierge in Jerusalem, to 
the people that sat beside us in the buses we rode, everybody here 
understood that there is dignity in being able to claim heritage; in 
being able to derive identity from an olive tree, a rocky hill, a 
winding mountain road."  RANDA ABDEL-FATTAH travels to the Palestinian 
village her father was forced to leave 35 years ago.

*Friendly Fire*
by MARNI CORDELL
Douglas Wood is not the first Australian to be kidnapped by insurgents 
in Iraq -- and escape. SBS Journalist John Martinkus was outside the 
Australian Embassy in Baghdad last year when he was taken at gunpoint by 
Sunni militants and held for 20 hours. On his return to Australia his 
terrifying experience was publicly undermined by both the Minister for 
Foreign Affairs, and large parts of the Australian media. "The 
Australian Government tried to discredit me because my assessment of the 
situation in Iraq was directly contradictory to theirs," he tells MARNI 
CORDELL.

pages, BHP Billiton couldn't have acquired the world's largest uranium 
deposit -- Olympic Dam mine, at Roxby Downs in South Australia -- at a 
better time. Signature talks to DAVE SWEENEY, anti-nuclear campaigner 
with the Australian Conservation Foundation about the Australian uranium 
mining industry. more

Funafuti, the main island of Tuvalu, surprises you as it emerges out of

LONESOME HOME*
by DAN RULE
Having written and released three acclaimed records whilst living in LA 
and London - and toured with the likes of Ken Stringfellow, Willard 
Grant Conspiracy, Hayden, Paul Kelly, Richard Buckner and Joanna Newsom 
- it's safe to say that Toby Burke and his band Horse Stories have 'made 
it' overseas. But after six years abroad, will the Melbourne 
singer-songwriter's lo-fi country arrangements and classic American 
musical sensibilities manage to have the same impact in his hometown? 
Dan Rule investigates.
