WAR ON WASTE: THE BATTLE CONTINUES

DOCUMENTARY War On Waste: The Battle Continues ABC, 8.30pm

When it aired last year, War On Waste made a big impact. Since then, plastic bags have been banned at major supermarkets and the re-usable coffee cup has almost become the norm. But there’s still a lot of work to do, and host Craig Reucassel is back with another series to inspire change and educate. This time around, plastic is still the enemy. Reucassel looks at single-use plastic items such as bottles and straws. There are mind-boggling numbers when it comes to how much waste these items create, but it’s not all doom and gloom. After this three-part series, hopefully plastic straws will soon be a relic of the past.

MOVIE Austin Powers: Goldmember 9GO!, 9pm, M (2002)

Mike Myers powers on with the third and arguably cleverest chapter of the shag-mad British spy’s adventures. Pushing the envelope with aplomb, Myers and director Jay Roach have formulated another of Dr Evil’s laughably uninspired plans for world domination, sparking Austin into action in a mission that brings him to the ’70s, where he faces a new adversary: Goldmember, a disturbing Dutchman with flaky skin and an expensive endowment. Joining the nuttiness is Austin’s long-lost father (Michael Caine), a sexy new squeeze (Beyoncé Knowles) and, of course, all the old favourites (Fat Bastard, Mini-Me and so on).
