Julie Webb, correspondent for Narco News (http://narconews.com) and Scoop (http://scoop.co.nz) returns to New Zealand after 18 months in Mexico, to find herself caught up in a wave of 'anti-terrorist' police actions. NZ police used anti-terrorist legislation to round up and intidate hundreds of people even remotely involved in any kind of social activism. Environmentalists, Maori elders (indeed, whole communities), and peace activists were all targetted in the illegal police raids which were timed to coincide with a parliamentary vote to strengthen 'anti-terrorist' legislation.

Tim Anderson returns from a two week visit to Timor Leste just after the inauguration of the new government. But before we begin discussion on the economic and political problems of the new East Timorese government, Tim describes the sterling work and achievements of the 300 strong Cuban medical brigade to Timor Leste, and the training of over 800 East Timorese students who will be replacing them over the next ten years.
