Australia (/ɒˈstreɪliə/, /ə-/, colloquially /-jə/), officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia, is an Oceanian country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. It is the world's sixth-largest country by total area. Neighbouring countries include Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and East Timor to the north; the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to the north-east; and New Zealand to the south-east.
For about 50,000 years before the first British settlement in the late 18th century, Australia was inhabited by indigenous Australians, who spoke languages grouped into roughly 250 language groups. After the European discovery of the continent by Dutch explorers in 1606, Australia's eastern half was claimed by Great Britain in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New South Wales from 26 January 1788. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades; the continent was explored and an additional five self-governing crown colonies were established. On 1 January 1901, the six colonies federated, forming the Commonwealth of Australia. Since federation, Australia has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system that functions as a federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy comprising six states and several territories. The population of 24 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated in the eastern states and on the coast.
Struggle Street is a three-part Australian reality television documentary series that aired on SBS One.
The series sheds light on the struggles and aspirations of residents in public housing areas around Western Sydney; areas which have been commonly associated with high unemployment, drug use and problems with the law.
KEO Films, the production company behind the project stated on their website:
We’ll highlight the enormous challenges they face being born into generational disadvantage, and then being blamed by the system for their lack of progress.
...And rather than being an exercise in voyeurism, or a fleeting judgemental report, this extended insight into the lives of our subjects will - we hope - provoke not just a change in public perception, but a debate about the direction of public policy as wellThe series received strong criticism from local governments, with the Mayor of Blacktown labelling it as 'poverty porn'. Locals attempted to boycott the series by establishing a blockade of garbage trucks outside the SBS headquarters in Artarmon. The series aired as planned, winning its timeslot nationally and was the most watched program on television that night in Sydney, with the controversy claimed for the record ratings.

New three-part, fly on the wall observational documentary series Struggle Street gives a voice to those doing it tough right on the doorstep of Australia’s most affluent cities.

Australians are getting fatter. And experts say diets just don't work in the long term. But should we be looking at this debate differently? Can you be fat and healthy? And are people resorting to surgery too soon? Insight: Tuesdays at 8:30pm on SBS One http://www.sbs.com.au/insight

The main point of difference between SBS World News Australia at 6.30pm and the bulletins on the ABC and the commercial networks is that WNA has a strong National/International news flavour with no local news content at all, in part because the SBS TV channels share the exact same programs right around the country with the obvious time differences (and local ads too, I think).

President Assad of Syria in an extended interview , SBS tv Australia, re the long bloody civil war enveloping his country. It was , as the commentator afterwards says, "a polished performance" The after-interview studio comments are included. I have to admit that by the standards of the Arab world, and I saw him previously vs Barbara Walters, Assad indeed seems to actually make coherent sense and come across as credible. In the Walters interview , Assad blew her mind telling her that the UN 'was not very credible " (amen to that) When Walters incredulously and pompously pointed out that Syria itself was a UN member, Assad responded " it's a game we all play, the UN, but no one really believes it" . Veins stood out on Walters forehead, and I ROFLMAO.
