In this episode we explore what happens inside that big building in Canberra you see on the TV every night … aka Parliament House.  Including how laws are made,  the difference between the House of Reps and the Senate – and what’s a bill and why it has nothing to do with a duck.

Record breaking penguins and rats; a new Filippino president from an old political family; fake election signs in Sydney; and Big Sheep gets a serious haircut.

NAPLAN goes online; nude Instagrammers banned from Bali; U2’s Bono in Kyiv concert; and the firefighters who saved exam day.

Record breaking Everest climb; the girl who drank all the communion wine; the Wiggles have competition; and Mother’s Day for lions.

JackJumping into history; Bolivia’s books behind bars; the world’s longest-serving worker; and Star Wars meets high art.

Teachers strike in NSW; Ed Sheeran’s Ukraine megamix; A tale of two football players; and the bear that got locked in a car.

In this episode, we dive into Australia’s political system: what’s an election? How do politicians try to win our vote? How do we elect members of Parliament? And why a political party sadly has nothing to do with fairy bread and balloons.

A sister’s rescue mission to Ukraine; the water bubbler tree; 104 marathons in 104 days; and sniffing out truth in the election. 

All eyes on the reserve bank; a four-year-old Formula One wannabe; bees doing maths; and the world’s longest plane flights.

The Australian Olympic Team wants you; the worst choice of holiday souvenir; what your dog’s breed says about its behaviour; and a long, long wait for a birthday cake.
