We take a look back at election campaigns over the years and also what we can expect to see over the coming weeks. SOLAR FUTUREOne of the big issues in this election campaign is energy. Both sides of politics are promising to help families with the rising cost of electricity and to help the environment by cutting the amount of carbon pollution in the atmosphere. One way that Australians could do both is by switching to solar power. We take a look at some different types of solar technology and how they could change the way we get our power. INDO SCHOOLThe relationship between Indonesia and Australia is incredibly important. But how much do we really know about one of our nearest neighbours and how much do they know about us? Our Indonesian correspondent Erwin took a look at two schools that are trying to learn more about each other's cultures. TOP END STUDENTSAround Australia there are lots of kids who go to boarding school. At one of Sydney's oldest and most respected schools there are 17 boarders who are studying a long way from home. They see it as a chance to get the best education possible and become role models for their communities. BOCCIA GIRLThe Paralympic Games in Brazil might still be three years away, but athletes are already training hard to make the Aussie squad. One of those is a 14-year old girl from Tasmania who is hoping to be selected to play boccia. We take a look at the tactics, strategy and skill needed to play the game Event Broadcast 2013-08-13 at 10:00:00 Notes Classification: G Subject Aboriginal Australians -- Education.
