On March 14th, here's the latest out of Sydney. Readers are fired up about why parents pick private schools for their kids, especially girls. One letter points out it's mostly about money, with families who can afford it opting in. This economic split keeps bigger problems in public education hidden, stopping real fixes. On International Women's Day, several writers hid back at a column claiming feminists push women away from motherhood and babies. They say those old quotes don't match today's views and call for focus on urgent issues like weekly gender violence deaths. Personal stories pour in too. One stayed home mom from the 70s, credits Jermaine Greer's book for sparking her push for equality, now extending to indigenous people. Migrants and the disadvantaged. Urban grids continue with letters slamming dirty city spots like Town Hall and George Street, calling them like red light zones. Meanwhile, climate talks draw fire over politicians praising coal in nuclear while ignoring emission cuts.
Environment lovers rage about grill fishing, vacuuming up whale food after years of other threats like plastics and warming seas. They wonder if whales around for 50 million years will survive human greed. Thanks to our sponsor for helping bring you this episode. Comfort you can hear. Sound you can relax into.
