Summary PRIVATISATIONOne of Tony Abbott's big election promises was that he was going to get the economy back into shape by saving money. Right now the government's looking into how it can do that and it's suggested that one way would be to sell off a public company. It's stirred up a bit of debate and Sarah finds out why.BUSHFIRE READYThe spring fires in NSW showed us that it's always good to get your bushfire plans ready early. We visit a school in a bushfire danger zone to see how they've been preparing.REMEMBRANCE DAYNext week is Remembrance Day where people fall silent for a minute to remember those who fought in wars. So why did Remembrance Day start... and why is this day relevant to kids?CROC CAPTUREIt's great having crocodiles in Australia but it can be dangerous when they get too close to people. The Queensland government has started a program to capture crocs and move them. But not everyone agrees with the plan.UP-CYCLINGWe all know that recycling is a good way to reduce waste and protect the environment. But it can also be a chance to get creative. Bec caught up with kids who are learning all about turning something old into something fun!
