What BBN said about it

1. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHundreds of long daycare centres in Australia could be about to close their doors, and I can tell you the real danger is already inside the building.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe danger is a rota, Dale.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Australian reports hundreds of centres are at risk of closing, which means families may need a new plan for Monday morning.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA new plan. For a three-year-old with a lunchbox shaped like a shark.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat part is real.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorChildcare is the thing that lets a lot of parents get to work at all, so a closure notice hits the whole morning commute.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHundreds of centres, Hank.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAt risk, not gone.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNobody is saying every sandpit shuts tomorrow, and the reasons come down to costs and access, which is less thrilling than your version.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFirst the sandpits, then the nap mats, then Monday itself collapses.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVerdict: worried if you have a Monday shift, otherwise eat a sandwich.

12. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI'm eating mine in the nap room, with the lights off.
