The Government's spending plans are set to be examined during Parliament's first-ever Scrutiny Week.

Normal sitting hours have been suspended to allow select committees to call in ministers and their ministries' bosses for questioning about the Budget.

It's hoped to improve on recent Parliaments' lacklustre scrutiny of governments.

Leader of the House Chris Bishop says it's a chance for ministers to front up and explain what they're going to do with the money.

"To be honest we've always done that, it's just that this year, we're doing it in a one-week period - and most of the committees will be meeting for longer."

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
