Episode 3: Interview with rescuers, Marcoola whale entanglement

A very special, and much longer episode this week!

When the Government fail to do their job properly, good people have to step in. This week we bring you the extraordinary story of four kind hearted citizens who took matters into their own hands when the Government fell short. Our guests encountered a distressed humpback whale ensnared in shark nets off the coast of Marcoola this morning (01/07/2024). With no official help on the way, they took action. 

Despite knowing the risks, our heroes couldn't stand by while the government failed to act, and the whale was at risk of drowning. With the whale's life hanging in the balance, they embarked on a daring rescue mission. Listen as our guests recount the heart-pounding moments of releasing the whale from the deadly shark nets, the deep connection felt with the majestic creature, and the ultimate triumph of freeing the whale from these tax-payer funded death traps. 

This episode delves into the ethical dilemmas faced when the law doesn't align with what's morally right, and highlights the incredible impact of courageous individuals stepping up when it matters most.

Join us for a powerful story that shows legality and morality are sometimes misaligned, and be inspired by a true story of bravery, humanity and empathy for the animals we share this planet with. Because sometimes, when the government fails to do its job, it's good people out there who make all the difference.
