GREEK DEBT Rioting in Greece has put the country's debt problems back into the spotlight. Europe has promised more bail-out money, but in return many Greek people will have their wages cut or could lose their jobs entirely. We look at how and why countries borrow money, and find out what happens when they can't pay it back. SPEECH WRITINGThis week we saw speculation that Julia Gillard's team were writing her acceptance speech as PM... even while Kevin Rudd was still in the top job. It got us thinking about the role of speechwriters in politics. How much of what politicians say is actually written by them? And how can speechwriters have so much influence when we don't even know who they are? CROC CULLThe government is considering overturning the ban on crocodile hunting. Some indigenous land owners in the Northern Territory say safari hunting could bring economic benefits to the bush. But animal rights supporters aren't happy.A BUG'S LIFEIf you've ever seen a locust or a snail at work in the garden you'll know the damage that insects can do to plants. But did you know that insects actually help many plants to grow? That's the lesson Australian scientists are teaching to Cambodian farmers and their kids to help the country grow the food it needs. BASEBALL KIDFor many people their first experience of baseball... is playing tee ball as a kid. And that's exactly how Daniel McGrath started out. But now the Aussie teen is on the verge of becoming a huge star. He's just been signed up by the Boston Red Sox, one of the world's most successful baseball teams |
