Australia's science and innovation is a vital part of the nation's future, 
however is likely to be overshadowed in the current electioneering. Australia 
has a rich and proud history in science and innovation, and the benefits of 
this investment surround us everyday, from advancements in health care to 
communications. In this special Science Behind the Headlines we'll examine why 
science and innovation is one of the major critical issues facing Australia in 
the next 5 years, and what Australia needs to ensure we remain the 'clever 
country'.

We'll also cross live to the Shine Dome in Canberra to speak with political 
lobbyists about how to increase political pressure to ensure science and 
innovation receives the support it requires, and discuss how science and 
innovation is also critical for non-scientific policies.

This will be an unmissable edition of Science Behind the Headlines.
