Summary BUSHFIRESIt's not unusual for BtN to cover bushfire stories. But what is unusual is for us to cover such big fires so early in the bushfire season. Nathan takes a look at why the fires in New South Wales have been so devastating and what it looks like to fight a bushfire first hand.STATE LAWSThere's been a lot of debate recently about marriage equality. The ACT government have just passed a law which would make it legal for same sex couples to get married. But the Federal Government says it's not allowed to do that. We take a look at how state and federal laws are made and who has the final say.JAYWALKINGThe police in some states have been cracking down on pedestrians who jaywalk. But does everyone understand what the rules are when it comes to crossing the road? Sarah takes up the story.TAKE 3Plastic has a devastating impact on our oceans and marine life. By following some simple steps, we can greatly reduce the amount of plastic that makes its way into the ocean. Tash checks out a program that's encouraging people to clean up.GERMAN DANCERSWe catch up with a group of kids who are keeping German tradition alive through dance and bell ringing. Tash pulled on her lederhosen to find out whether she's got what it takes to be a German dancer
