DROUGHT HELPWith a lot of Queensland and NSW in its second year of drought, farmers have been calling for emergency assistance. Now, the Federal Government has agreed to help. BtN takes a look at what aid is on the way, and why droughts are usually the last natural disaster to receive it.FOOD LABELLINGWe've seen star ratings used on movies, electrical goods and water appliances, but what about groceries at the supermarket? A plan to label foods with a rating to show how healthy or unhealthy they are was recently withdrawn. The food industry was against the plan, whilst health groups were for it. But now, it's back on the agenda, after some controversy. BtN discovers what it might look like.LANDFILLWhen a piece of rubbish leaves your hand and lands in the bin, you'd rarely give it a second thought. But where does it travel from there? BtN follows the path rubbish takes to the tip, and talks to the people that help it along the way.MARINE SCIENCEMarine scientists want to unlock the traditional knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kids to help their research. So they've started a new program, encouraging Indigenous kids to take up a career in the industry. As rookie reporters Jayde and Jermaine discovered, the job has plenty of perks.CAREER DOGSWe all know about the incredibly important role guide dogs play in the lives of people with a vision impairment.
