Saturday Extra on RN 22 September 2012

Saturday Extra with Norman Swan (in the chair while Geraldine presents RN Breakfast)
Radio National 7:30 - 9am Saturday and always online http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/saturdayextra/

Next on Saturday Extra the issue of insurance services for those with a mental illness is up for discussion. Former NSW politician John Brogden, who's had his own very public battle with depression, is now thriving in his role as the CEO of the high-profile Financial Services Council and he's in a unique position to help bring about change.

We'll also have more in the Working Asia series, with the story of the first merger of a western and a Chinese law firm.

And what image would you choose to represent human civilisation from the last two centuries? The story of The Last Pictures project with an artist and geographer preparing to launch his collection into space, as a lasting tribute to humanity.
