DEFENCE DOLLARSOne of the big cuts in the Federal budget was in Defence spending. It costs many billions of dollars each year to keep our armed forces. So what do we get for that money... and why do we need an army at all?SKINNY MODELSVogue magazine announced recently that it's going to stop using skinny underage models. Just over a year ago the magazine was heavily criticised for dressing a 10 year old girl in high heels and make-up for a photo shoot. We examine the influence that fashion magazines can have on what we consider to be beautiful.POVERTY LINELast week there would have been some pretty hungry people throughout Australia. Not because of some new fad diet, but because they were taking a week to experience what life is like for someone living below the poverty line. The challenge is to feed yourself on a budget of $2 a day. So, how did they do?CIRCUS ANIMALSAnimals have a long history of performing tricks in circus shows. But not everyone's happy about that. Some states in Australia have banned circuses that use animals because they think it's cruel... whereas other states think it's fine. In this story a circus owner and an animal rights campaigner debate the issue. (Nathan)SHARK SCIENCEFor years people have tried to find ways of keeping sharks and swimmers apart. They've built nets around swimming beaches and have even hunted some man-eating sharks. But wouldn't it be great if we could keep sharks away without hurting the sharks or the environment? Well, maybe there is... We check out a science lab where researchers are trying to come up with the ultimate shark repellent |
