For many families it hasn't been a good start to 2013. First there were massive bushfires which destroyed homes in Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales, then floods hit parts of Queensland and New South Wales. If you think that story sounds familiar, you're not wrong. In fact, BTN has started off many years with a story about natural disasters. So why is January such a dangerous month in Australia? Sarah finds out what's behind the wild weather. Sarah Larsen reporting |  | Tassie Rebuild
Over the holidays, Tasmania was hit by devastating bushfires that destroyed more than one hundred properties with some people being forced to take shelter on beaches and in boats. Now the clean-up and recovery process begins. We asked some BtN viewers to show us what's involved in rebuilding homes and schools affected by the bushfires. Nathan Bazley reporting | | Aussie Flag
A few weeks ago people all around the country celebrated Australia day. For most Aussies that means barbeques, trips to the beach, parties and lots of Australian flags. But this Australia day some were asking whether it might be time to change the Australian flag. So why do some people want it to be changed? Sarah Larsen reporting | | School Economics
While you were away from school some decisions were made about what you should be studying while you're at school. For the first time in most of Australia economics lessons will be taught to kids in primary school. We take a look at why teachers and politicians think the economy is something you need to know more about. Nathan Bazley reporting | | Ball Kids
