Track 3: Monsieur Camembert with 'Hungarian Dance #5' There is a serious dispute happening at present over the ownership of a number of Indigenous artefacts* loaned to the Melbourne Museum by the British Museum and the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew. Representatives of the Dja Dja Wurrung people from around Swan Hill on the Murray River have used an emergency declaration of preservation under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Act to prevent their return.

And according to the Age newspaper the dispute remains unresolved. Indeed* the President of the Museum Board* HAROLD MITCHELL* was in London recently* but was unable to secure a meeting with the British Museum to seek some resolution* And now for some house keeping*Sharp eared listeners might have noticed last week that the introduction to the Australian Memory of the World story said that eight items were added to the register, but nine were listed in the story. The correct number is nine. And a film by GEORGE GITTOES* Soundtrack to War* shot in Iraq after the occupation of Bagdad will premiere at the Art Gallery of NSW on August 30th . Some of George's footage can be seen in Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11. And that's the show for this week.
