Male humpback whales sing to each other, and when they do - over the course of a season - a favourite “hit song” emerges. Each whale passes it along, until all the humpback males in the Southern Ocean sing it. But humpback whales aren’t just amazing creatures, capable of tenderness, and rivalries. They’ve also managed one of Australia’s great comebacks - they numbered less than 100 on the east coast in the 1960s, and now there’s about 40,000 of them. Today, environment and climate reporter Caitlin Fitzsimmons on why they’re thriving, while other whales are critically endangered. And whether new information about threats to whales might inform the government’s environmental policies.Credit:David Attenborough/Netflix 'Our Planet' Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is the way you do your washing the latest marker of class? Because a growing number of Australians who live in apartments are in conflict over where they air their laundry. Literally. Many people who want to dry their clothing outside, say, on their balcony, just want to help the environment. But to some of their neighbours? They're destroying their building's “curb appeal.” And bringing down their property value. Today, environment and climate reporter Caitlin Fitzsimmons on how, in a country as preoccupied with property prices as ours is, where you do your laundry can come with an allegation of racism.

It is a practice that some people say has ruined their lives. For others, it has led to long-lasting mental and physical anguish. So why is gay conversion therapy banned in some states of Australia, and perfectly legal in others? NSW premier Chris Minns made an election promise that he would ban gay conversion practices, if he were to be elected. That was in February this year. Since then, LGTBQ advocates have faced off against some religious groups that have opposed the ban. While others fear a ban may lead to unintended consequences. Today, senior writer Caitlin Fitzsimmons on how hard it's been for many Australians to avoid persecution, because of their sexual or gender identity And just a warning, this episode mentions suicide and self-harm.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
