Summer Heights High: Comedy. 10:30 p.m. Sundays on HBO. Like every
other broadcast network or cable channel, HBO desperately wants a half
hour sitcom hit. The way it's going about the search is a little odd -
importing or buying more than creating - but the results have been
mostly encouraging so far. On Sunday, the channel will start an eight-
episode season of "Summer Heights High," a mockumentary imported from
Australia, where it's been a huge hit.

Economy goes part-time Employers are increasingly turning to part-time
workers to fill their needs as the economic slowdown begins to pinch
and NSW's jobless rate jumps. The economy added an unexpectedly large
number of jobs last month - 34,300 in total - but the gain masked the
loss of 9200 full-time positions. The unemployment rate stayed put at
4.3% because of the whopping 43,500 part-time positions created last
month - the most since April 2001.
