- Alice returns to where the nightmare began: The Hive in Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation is gathering its forces for a final strike against the only remaining survivors of the apocalypse.
- Whether dolphins or whales will purposefully defend a person from a shark attack is a topic of debate among scientists. But those who have experienced these terrible experiences don't question what actually happened.
- When you're farming the driest continent on earth, it's water not land that's the limiting factor. It's also the cause of friction between stakeholders competing for a fair and sustainable share of this precious resource. And while there are obviously dozens of disputed catchments across the country there is only one where our biggest cotton grower is staring down a State Government threat to shut it down completely. Landline's been to Dirranbandi in Queensland's south west for this report on the case for and against Cubbie Station.
- A group of militant farmers is attempting a coup in northern Victoria. The rebels are pitting their forces against their local Council over the issue of rates. The rural ratepayers of the Gannawarra Shire want immediate reform of the current rating system which they've decried as 'unjust'. After a two long battle and the failure of repeated mediation talks, this week the conflict goes before the Victorian Supreme Court. It's a court case which could have significant implications for rural shires across Australia.
- Salinity has been identified as probably the biggest environmental issue in Australia today, but in Western Australia it's been part of the landscape for decades. A combination of clearing and the unique system of paeleo channels beneath the Western Australian wheat belt have resulted in 8 per cent of arable land there going saline. Ironically, the State with the most experience at tackling the problem and the biggest immediate need of help, is the only one in Australia yet to secure any of the Federal Government's $700 million under the National Action Plan for Salinity.
- Imagine a wheat crop that is drought proof, provides a return just two weeks after planting and best of all could earn nearly $800,000 per hectare. It is not a fantasy designed to torment farmers unable to even get a crop away this year. It is wheatgrass, the latest health food trend promoters claim is the new fountain of youth.
- Last week horse lovers descended on Brisbane for Australia's third Equitana. The event was the largest horse expo ever held in this country, and on show were a big range of breeds, sports, and training philosophies. The four day event attracted thousands of riders hungry for information, and a chance to see some of the world's top riders in action.
