KEN WYATT The Australian parliament has just welcomed its first indigenous member of the House of Representatives. Ken Wyatt tells us about his first day as an MP, and describes his journey from poverty and obscurity to being elected MP for the constituency of Hasluck. SUE TOWNSEND British author and playwright Sue Townsend is best known as the creator of Adrian Mole's Diaries. Sue shows us the remarkable spirit which has carried her through dramatic events in her own life, where health problems have left her blind and using a wheelchair. She tells Matthew Bannister how, most recently, her son saved her life - by giving her his kidney.
