- After a global nuclear war, the residents of Australia must come to terms with the fact that all life will be destroyed in a matter of months.
- Georgie returns to her home town of Little Oberon with her teenage daughter Natasha to see her dying mother. The newcomers are regarded with suspicion and malice, and Natasha soon discovers not all is as it seems in Little Oberon.
- 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.
- The "whole production pathway" approach now underpins a range of food safety, eating quality and marketing initiatives right across Australian agriculture. And while we've obviously featured many of them over the years, we rarely get a chance to actually follow the story from the farmgate to the dinner plate... in this case beef bound for Brisbane's Royal Show, the Ekka.
- This time next year Australia could well be growing genetically modified food crops for the first time. We have had GM cotton for about six years but food is different. All sorts of accusations have been made about the benefits and drawbacks of GMOs, also called biotech or genetically engineered crops. Working through the maze of information is not easy but Landline is attempting to do just that. Landline�s Prue Adams recently hosted a forum discussion with a panel of eight of the best minds, those who agree or disagree with the imminent roll-out of fields of genes.
- Thirty years ago Western Australia's Margaret River region was depressed and its traditional primary industries such as dairy farming and timber were in sharp decline. But a new wave of winemakers and young surfers helped transform the Margaret River brand into one of Australia's best for quality gourmet food and beverage. So much so, the West Australian government is now using Margaret River to spearhead a new export drive into Asia, via Singapore.
- With critical pasture and water shortages, kangaroos are very much in the spotlight. So why is the RSPCA calling for a ban on farmers shooting kangaroos? Well, it's a cruelty issue. The RSPCA says farmers have yet to prove they're culling kangaroos as humanely as the professionals and drought isn't about to sway its view.
- For many years Australian natives trees have been just as integral to third world countries where other plants died, hardy Australian species have thrived providing much needed food and fuel resources. At the heart of both our revegatation and aid efforts is the little-known Australian Tree Seed Centre.
