Care at all Costs
The fact there's big money to be made looking after little kids has broken the childcare industry. Its ethos should be to provide care at all costs, but instead, the cost of care seems to now dominate the thinking at many of the businesses that operate childcare facilities. In this 60 Minutes investigation, Dimity Clancey reveals how the desire for profits means centres are often understaffed, which in turn is leading to the mistreatment of innocent children. In some cases, the allegations of abuse and neglect simply beggar belief. Currently there are one and a half million little Australians in the childcare system and it's clear an enormous number deserve much better care than they're receiving.

A Whale of a Time
Ordinarily, traffic jams cause headaches. But the ones happening off Australia's east and west coasts bring only awe. Right now, about a hundred thousand humpback whales are out there having a whale of a time. Their great migration, which seems to get bigger every year, is also an important reminder of what the world almost lost. Up until the 1960s humpbacks were hunted to the point of extinction. As few as 300 were left in our waters. How things have changed though, and as Adam Hegarty finds out, watching these magnificent creatures is guaranteed to make anyone smile.

On Sunday's 60 Minutes, Karl Stefanovic speaks to Rosie O'Donnell about her ongoing feud with Donald Trump.

Building Bad
No one ever thought rebuilding the crime-riddled and corrupted CFMEU was going to be easy. In the 12 months since 60 Minutes, The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian Financial Review exposed a level of rottenness in the construction union that forced the Albanese government to take action, there have been significant wins though. Some good people are working hard to clean up the mess. But despite their efforts, incidents of violence, threatening behaviour and intimidation continue to occur. And the perpetrators are not just from within the union. Continuing his award-winning Building Bad investigation, Nick McKenzie reports how building companies, which once enjoyed cosy relations with the CFMEU's old guard, are now being implicated in allegations of serious law-breaking.

Get Out!
For the first time in 80 years, last week the Australian government took the drastic decision to kick an ambassador out of the country. Iran's highest-ranking diplomat here, Ahmad Sadeghi, was declared "persona non grata". His expulsion came after an ASIO-led investigation found the Iranian regime was behind two terrifying anti-Semitic attacks on Australian soil last year. Tehran emphatically denies it was involved and on 60 Minutes responds in an exclusive interview with Nine News' National Affairs Editor, Andrew Probyn.

Common Knowledge
Smart, fearless and super-quick with one-liners. They're assets that have made Rosie O'Donnell incredibly successful. And funny. Millions of people around the world think she's hilarious. But not everyone. In fact, none other than Donald Trump has become her "hater-in-chief". He's so irritated by the actress and comedienne that he sprays petty insults in her direction whenever he can. Rosie, in turn, gives pretty much as good as she gets, no doubt infuriating the President even more by using his nastiness as material in her one-woman show, Common Knowledge, which she's about to bring to Australia.
