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.
