Two stories of note on ABC TV last night:
1. The 7.30 Report ran a story about CSIRO research on ocean acidification in the waters around the Great Barrier Reef. Nothing much new here, as all they are doing now is getting extensive water samples so as to be able to take measurements as a baseline for future changes. Still, of some interest.
2. On Foreign Correspondent, a very remarkable and creepy story from Cambodia about a 7 year old boy who loves his gigantic, boy-eating sized python, which the family believes the spirits sent to look after them. If it was Australia, allowing your boy to cuddle up with a life threatening animal might attract the attention of the child protection authorities.
The way the family treats this python has to be seen to be believed. The video is not up on the ABC website yet, but when it is, it will be well worth watching.
