Can your genes influence what you eat, how your gut works, and even why coriander tastes like soap to some people? This week on Well, food and nutrition scientist Dr Emma Beckett cuts through the noise around gut health and explains what the science actually says.
From probiotics and Greek yoghurt to taste receptors hidden throughout your gut, we unpack the surprising ways genetics shape our relationship with food. Dr Beckett reveals why one-size-fits-all nutrition advice doesn't work, what the microbiome can (and can't) tell us about health, and why the wellness industry's obsession with gut hacks may be missing the point.
Plus, Dr Mariam answers a listener's question about constipation, ageing and menopause, and explains why some gut symptoms deserve a closer look.

We're unpacking the fallout after the veteran journalist was dumped from the Today show following a highly controversial interview on his independent podcast with British far-right activist Tommy Robinson.
We look at the deleted episode that triggered crisis talks, the network's sudden exit statement, and how Pauline Hanson got involved.

In a massive shake-up for Australian commercial television, veteran presenter Karl Stefanovic is set to exit the Nine Network after a day of emergency crisis talks.
We unpack the fallout from his now-deleted independent podcast interview with British anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson, which landed the Today show host in hot water with network executives.
Plus, we look at why the episode was scrubbed from the internet, how Pauline Hanson is getting involved by reposting the footage, and what this means for the future of the high-profile host.

One Nation has just made history by securing its first-ever federal lower house seat. With Pauline Hanson eyeing the Lodge, the message to Canberra is loud and clear: Australians are fed up.
But is this a genuine endorsement of hard-right policies, or a protest against the cost-of-living crisis and housing stress?
Today, we’re joined by The New Daily’s Political Editor Amy Remeikis to unpack whether the old 'blue vs red' era of Australian politics is officially over.
Plus, we speak with Charlotte Mortlock, founder of Something Better Australia, about her grassroots mission to build a new political force that moves beyond the fringe.
🗞️ HEADLINES
- Closure for a rural NSW town as the body of an alleged triple murderer found by police
- The Treasurer forecasts Australia to be $44.9 billion better off over coming years when he hands down the budget tonight
- The last six passengers and some crew members of the hantavirus-hit MV Hondius have left the ship on the Spanish island of Tenerife

TRANSCRIPT:
Hey I’m Taylah Strano with the latest from The Quicky newsroom for Friday, May 8.
A pair of Islamic State-linked women accused of crimes against humanity are behind bars but plan to make bail applications after they were arrested on return to Australia.
The 53-year-old and a 31-year-old faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday morning charged with several crimes against humanity offences allegedly committed in Syria.
They landed back in Melbourne on Thursday evening as part of a larger group of women and children who lived in a Syrian refugee camp.
In a packed courtroom, the women appeared separately. They were both remanded in custody until Monday, when they will apply for bail.
Day five of hearings at the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion has continued with eight witnesses providing evidence in Sydney.
This marks the first block of public hearings, focusing on the definition and nature of antisemitism, its impact on people’s lives, and how it’s measured.
Twenty-two-year-old Mia Kline described feeling the need to “de-Jew” herself as part of her statement describing an interaction with her housemates that ultimately led to her moving out. She said she stopped referring to Jewish engagements in conversation and removed a Star of David necklace to avoid antisemitism.
Meantime, another person, who identified as not being Jewish and appeared anonymously, described criticism she incurred after writing and sharing social media posts surrounding the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.
New research shows Australia’s food and grocery sector is strained amid rising costs.
The Australian Food and Grocery Council is warning a perfect storm of global conflict, surging energy costs and domestic economic pressures is forcing an unavoidable reckoning for the nation’s food and grocery suppliers and manufacturers.
AFGC Director of Stakeholders, Engagement and Policy Scott McGrath says some of the household staples we rely on could become more expensive or harder to access if suppliers, manufacturers and retailers continue to shoulder the brunt of rising costs.
People may not realize, but oil and energy underpin almost everything, and it's not just transport that relies on it.
Packaging, manufacturing processes such as refrigeration, crucial for food freshness, and shipping are all affected when prices rise globally.
Even everyday items like nappies rely heavily on components like plastic packaging, which is tied to oil.
Australia’s most prestigious portrait prize has just been awarded to Richard Lewer.
The Archibald Prize, which includes a $100,000 cash award, goes to the Melbourne-based artist for his portrait of Pitjantjatjara elder and senior artist Iluwanti Ken.
Former foreign minister Julie Bishop has resigned as chancellor of one of the nation’s most prestigious universities.
Previously one of the Liberal government’s most senior ministers, Ms Bishop’s tenure at Australian National University was marred by months of turmoil, including job cuts, bullying allegations and disputes between staff and university management.
A contentious cost-cutting proposal, which would have made hundreds of staff forcibly redundant, was abandoned when Vice-Chancellor Genevieve Bell quit her post in late 2025.
Coalition parties have conceded holding onto the seat of Farrer will be a tall order ahead of the crucial by-election.
Voters will head to the polls on Saturday to replace former opposition leader Sussan Ley following her resignation.
The electorate has been held by Coalition parties since the seat’s creation in 1949, but the contest is looming with a showdown between One Nation’s David Farley and independent Michelle Millthorpe.
And singer Bonnie Tyler has reportedly been put into an induced coma following emergency intestinal surgery.
The 74-year-old was said to be recovering after she was rushed to hospital near her home in Portugal for emergency intestinal surgery, but doctors have now reportedly placed her in a coma to assist her recovery.
A spokesperson for the “Total Eclipse of the Heart” singer has asked for privacy at this difficult time.
That’s your latest news headlines.
On Monday’s episode of The Quicky, we’ll have an update on everything you need to know as more hantavirus cases crop up across the globe.

If you've noticed the men in your life repeating talking points from Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan, you're likely seeing the real-world impact of the ‘manosphere’.
Research suggests these digital echo chambers are doing genuine damage to the lives of boys and men, but how do we combat an algorithm?
Today, we are joined by Australia’s first-ever Special Envoy for Men’s Health, Dan Repacholi. The Labor MP and five-time Olympian is heading off on a national listening tour to tackle the crisis in men’s mental health, respect, and the rising tide of online misogyny. We investigate what it actually takes for men to stay well and why the solution has to start with men talking to men.
🗞️ HEADLINES
- A candlelight vigil will be held in Alice Springs tonight to honour Kumanjayi Little Baby
- CNN founder Ted Turner has died aged 87
- Iran says they are close to signing a deal to end the US/Israel war
- Three more people have been evacuated from the cruise ship amid a hantavirus outbreak

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners are advised this episode contains descriptions of an Indigenous person who has died.
It's the story that has rocked Australia. A five-year-old girl disappeared from a town camp, sparking a desperate five-day search that ended in heartbreak.
As her family enters a period of deep sorry business in Central Australia, the nation is left grappling with the horrific circumstances surrounding her death. A 47-year-old man has been charged with her murder, while Alice Springs has been pushed to breaking point.
Today, we speak with Catherine Liddle, Arrernte and Luritja woman and CEO of SNAICC, to move past the headlines. We discuss the legacy of this little girl, the reality of life in the town camps, and why her family is pleading with politicians not to turn this tragedy into a political football.

It is fashion’s biggest night of the year, but the Met Gala is much more than just a parade of celebrities on a red carpet.
As we prepare for the 2026 event, we explore why this exclusive party is actually a vital fundraiser that bankrolls fashion as an art form. We dive into this year’s conceptual theme, and the dress code that's expected to ditch 'pretty dresses' for sculptural, gallery-level installations.
Plus, we look at the power players making headlines this year; with Beyoncé returning to co-chair for the first time in a decade, and Jeff Bezos’ controversial sponsorship causing a stir, the guest list is as much about cultural tension as it is about couture.

What started as a niche corner of the internet has exploded into a mainstream movement, where young men are obsessed with 'maximising' their physical attractiveness at any cost.

Today, we go inside the concerning rise of the looksmaxxing trend, investigate the 'Clavicular' lore that resulted in an explosive 60 Minutes interview, and find out why this movement is taking a dark and dangerous turn for men's mental health

The National Disability Insurance Scheme was designed as a lifetime guarantee, ensuring eligible Australians receive the individualised support needed to live an ordinary life.
In a major shift ahead of the May Budget, the government is moving to tighten spending, including a plan to remove 160,000 people from the NDIS.
But for the families who rely on this funding for therapy and essential daily support, there is a growing fear that the safety net is being pulled back before public systems are ready to catch them.
We're joined by ABC National Disability Affairs Reporter Nas Campanella to unpack what these changes actually look like in practice and whether the NDIS can be made sustainable without leaving our most vulnerable behind.
🗞️ HEADLINES

It starts with a message in a group chat: a man asking for advice on exactly how much sedative to slip into his wife’s tea tonight so he can sexually assault her while she's unconscious.
Following the horrific 2024 trial of Dominique Pelicot in France, a new investigation has revealed that this wasn't an isolated case, but a thriving global ecosystem. From 'sleep' content on major porn sites to private forums where men livestream their drugged partners for a fee, the scale of this internet-enabled abuse is staggering.
We’re joined by CNN Paris Bureau Chief Saskya Vandoorne, who infiltrated these secret 'brotherhoods' to expose how these men operate under the cover of anonymity and why platforms are still failing to stop them.

It has been seven weeks since the war involving the US, Israel, and Iran began, and while a fragile two-week ceasefire is currently in place, the world is holding its breath.
Earlier this week, President Donald Trump threw a spanner in the works by announcing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most critical energy corridor, after initial peace talks in Pakistan reached an impasse over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Today, we're unpacking what this escalation means for your bottom line. With global oil prices surging, Australian airlines have already begun hiking fares and cutting domestic flight capacity to manage soaring fuel bills.
Plus, we examine a historic breakthrough as Israel and Lebanon agree to their first direct negotiations in over 30 years.
Director of Research from the United States Studies Centre, Jared Mondschein, joins us to discuss whether these high-stakes diplomatic moves will lead to lasting stability or a global recession.
🗞️ HEADLINES
- Ceasefire between Israel & Lebanon could be on the horizon
- Trump claims Strait of Hormuz open
- New job figures expected to be early indication of Australia's economic health during war
- Harry & Meghan's tour down under continues for third day with speaking engagements, charity events and cultural walk

Eight years ago, they were the world’s most famous newlyweds visiting our shores as senior working royals. This week, Harry and Meghan have touched down in Australia for a four-day visit that looks very different.
From charitable engagements to a high-priced wellness retreat; the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are walking a fine line between charity and commerce. But with reports that Aussie taxpayers are footing a hefty security bill despite the trip being 'private', is the public sentiment starting to sour?
We're joined by Mamamia Out Loud host and royal expert Holly Wainwright to decode the 'quasi-royal' tour, the impending arrival of Meghan’s lifestyle brand As Ever, and whether Australians actually care about the ex-royals anymore.

If you grew up with Dolly magazine, woke up with Today, or unwound with The Project, Lisa Wilkinson has likely been the voice in the room for most of your life. After one of the most turbulent chapters of her career and a high-profile legal battle, Lisa has stepped away from the cameras to uncover a story lost to time.
We’re sitting down with the media veteran to discuss her new book, The Titanic Story of Evelyn, which follows the extraordinary life of Evelyn Marsden; the only Australian-born survivor of the Titanic. Lisa reveals how she pieced together this '10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle' to tell a tale of heroism through a female lens.
Plus, Lisa opens up about her 'new chapter' after television, the reality of 'rowing against the tide' in the Australian media landscape, and whether she’s got another big story under her hat.

The conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran has brought global supply chains to their knees, but a sudden 11th-hour deal has secured a two-week ceasefire. As the Strait of Hormuz conditionally reopens, we look at the flow-on effects that have hit us at the local servo and the checkout.
Plus, with the US President making some of his most alarming threats to date, including the warning that an 'entire civilisation' could be at risk, we ask if this is just internet bravado or a genuine threat of war crimes.
Amelia Lester joins us to unpack the ten-point peace plan, if the ceasefire will hold and why Trump is now staring down the barrel of impeachment.

As the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran intensifies and President Trump’s bombing deadline looms, we are breaking down exactly how a war on the other side of the world is hitting you right here at home.
First, we sit down with international relations expert Dr Jessica Genauer to examine the 'complete demolition' threats, alleged war crimes, and whether a ceasefire is even on the table.
Then, we investigate the fuel crisis. With service stations running dry and the government slashing the fuel excise, we ask the NRMA’s Peter Khoury why prices aren't dropping faster.
Plus, as Aussies flock to public transport to save their hip pockets, Professor Graham Currie explains if our trains and buses can actually handle the surge in demand and whether free fares are a long-term solution or just a temporary fix.
🗞️ HEADLINES
- Ben Roberts-Smith will front a bail court today after spending his first night in jail charged with war crimes
- Nationals leader Matt Canavan will address the National Press Club today outlining his "hyper Australia," economic vision
- Trump's deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz approaches, the White House saying only he knows what he will do

The very last time Samantha Murphy’s family can verify she was alive was around 7am on the morning of February 4, 2024.
There’s an image from a CCTV camera that police released of the 51-year-old, in the activewear she would usually put on ahead of her run. But while that image might be the last time we were able to confirm that she was okay, it’s allegedly not the last time she was seen.
Tomorrow, the trial begins for the man accused of murdering Samantha Murphy. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge.

We’ve only just cooled down from the steamy fourth season of Bridgerton, but the next lead has officially been confirmed, and it’s a major departure from the original books.
As speculation reaches a fever pitch, we’re indulging in everything we know about the much-anticipated fifth season.
Today, we sit down with Grace Rouvray from the Watch Party podcast to unpack the reveal of Francesca Bridgerton and Michaela Stirling, exploring the internet’s reaction to the gender-swap and why the show decided to skip over Eloise for now.
Plus, we investigate the future of Lady Whistledown and whether we’ll be waiting years for the next chapter of the ton to drop on Netflix

As global tensions and conflict in the Middle East threaten the flow of oil into Australia, the warning signs are flashing. While we aren't out of fuel yet, regional towns are already seeing shortages, prices at the bowser are climbing, and supply is at risk of running low.
So, how much do we really have left, and why is our 'just-in-time' delivery system so vulnerable to international shocks?
Today, we're joined by the NRMA's Peter Khoury to explain where our fuel actually comes from and how many days of reserves we have left.
Plus, consumer behaviour expert Dr Paul Harrison joins us to discuss the psychology of panic buying and how this shortage will eventually hit your grocery bill and your commute.

When you hear the word 'cult', you probably picture white robes and remote compounds. But in 2026, the reality is much more ordinary.
From wellness communities to 'coaching' gurus and high-control religious groups, a new wave of organisations is recruiting young people who are searching for certainty in an unstable, post-pandemic world.
As the Victorian Parliament conducts a landmark inquiry into the recruitment methods of these fringe groups, we investigate how the traditional cult has morphed into something far more sanitised and harder to spot.

What happens when you need a gap year from real life? When you’ve worked hard, climbed the corporate ladder and saved every penny to buy your first apartment in the big city, only to find yourself in a trap?
Tim Abbott was living the quintessential city life. By 28, he had cracked the Sydney property market, secured a stable corporate career, and built a thriving side hustle making memes for over 100,000 Instagram followers. But behind the scenes, a shocking $11,500 quarterly strata bill and the crushing weight of the cost-of-living crisis brought him to breaking point.
Tim realised he was "cosplaying adulthood" in a life he couldn't afford and didn't enjoy. So, he engineered what he calls a "Financial Gap Year."
In this episode of Pivot Club, Sarah Davidson speaks with Tim about his decision to trade his laptop for a tractor. Tim explains how he quit his job in digital marketing, rented out his apartment, and moved to a rural farm in Queensland to work on a timber plantation. Now, living in a caravan and cutting his expenses by 90%, he is on a mission to regain his financial freedom with a massive goal in mind: To save $100,000 in just 12 months.
We unpack the "ego death" of leaving a "cool" city identity for high-vis and manual labour, the unexpected joy found in a simple existence, and how to tell the difference between what society wants for you and what you actually want for yourself.
Join us for an honest and hilarious conversation about taking back control of your own timeline.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has landed in hot water after using a single word to describe former Australian of the Year Grace Tame... difficult.

And in headlines today, Hilary Clinton tells committee she doesn't recall ever meeting Jeffrey Epstein; Talks between Iran and the US have been paused; The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have visited children in a Jordan cancer centre; Instagram is rolling out a new alert system letting parents know if their children are searching for suicide or self harm content; Gold medal winning Summer Olympian Lauren Parker named on the Aussie Milano-Cortina Winter Olympic team; Former Aotearoa Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will soon call Australia home

It was the show that taught us to "smize" while normalising questionable practices, it was America's Next Top Model .
This week, Netflix drops "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model," a three-part autopsy of the 24-cycle juggernaut that defined early 2000s reality TV, but what's the point of it?
We explore whether this reunion of Tyra Banks and her original panel, plus former contestants, actually offers accountability, or if it’s just another "nostalgia trip" designed for a new binge.
And in headlines today, Thirty-four Australians released from a camp holding families of suspected Islamic State militants in northern Syria have returned to the detention centre due to "technical reasons"; The Kremlin has rejected accusations from five European countries that they killed jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny with toxin from a poisonous frog; US media are reporting that the investigation into the disappearance of TV show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother is now leaning away from suspecting family members; Ed Sheeran told the crowd in Sydney that he no longer has a mobile phone because of the lawsuit brought against him in 2015

Senator Fatima Payman remembers the first time Pauline Hanson pulled her burqa stunt in 2017. She was visiting her Dad in hospital and was told to 'piss off back where she came from'.
She tells us how stunts like we saw this week in the senate, have real world implications how there needs to be more accountability in politics and the importance of supporting marginalised communities, particularly in the face of rising Islamophobia.
But while she's dealing with the fallout from Hanson's burqa stunt 2.0, she also loves how the Australian community has rallied around her in support, the ultimate in 'mateship.'

It might still be early in Trump's second term, but he's already positioning himself as a dealmaker on the world stage; from brokering peace between nations to preparing for a historic summit with Putin in Alaska this week.
But with Ukraine's leader notably absent from the Putin meeting, and tensions escalating in Gaza, we're asking whether Trump's legacy as a peacemaker is actually working or if some conflict resolutions remain out of reach.
And in headlines today US President Donald Trump is deploying 800 National Guard troops to Washington DC, and putting the city's police department under federal control; Australia has been urged to go further than recognising a Palestinian state by following up with sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel; Prince Harry and Meghan have extended their partnership with Netflix with a multi-year, first-look deal including another series and Christmas special of With Love Meghan; Lifeblood are hoping a little bit of sibling rivalry will help increase their blood and plasma supplies, encouraging middle children to step out from the shadows of their over achieving older siblings and extroverted younger ones to roll up a sleeve

It’s 2025, and we’re still whispering the word period.
Despite being a natural, regular part of life for half the population, periods are still wrapped in shame and silence. They're sanitised in ads, tiptoed around in schools, and often treated as something to hide — even at home.
We’re unpacking why the stigma still exists, and how it continues to impact women and people who menstruate today.
Plus, the 3 simple phone settings experts say you should change now to help keep your kids safe online — without totally invading their privacy.
And in headlines today Opposition leader Peter Dutton has been narrowly declared the winner of last night's third leaders debate; Labor has promised to protect women from financial abuse, making perpetrators liable for debt created in their victims name and blocking them from getting their victims super after death; The Coalition has promised an extra $21 billion to be spent on defence if they win at the election; A 4.6 magnitude earthquake has struck the Hunter Valley town of Singleton shaking residents of parts of Sydney awake just before 3am; The Pope now lays in state ahead of the funeral to be held on Saturday attended by dignitaries including Prince William; The Academy who oversee the Oscars, will now enforce a rule that all who vote in the awards will have to prove they have watched all the movies that are nominated.

Well, they started a podcast together, called Dying For Sex.

What started as a typical sleepover in Wisconsin in 2014 turned into one of the most chilling true crime stories in America.
Twelve-year-olds Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier lured their friend, Payton "Bella" Leutner, into the woods with a plan to kill her as a sacrifice to Slender Man, the creepy internet figure.
Both girls were charged as adults in a case that stunned the world.
Now, with Morgan’s 2025 release from psychiatric care, the case is back in the spotlight, except this time we’re having conversations the media steered clear of at the beginning.
Why did this happen? How did this happen? And what was going on mentally and psychologically for those two little girls?

It’s no secret that as the school holidays draw to a close many parents are preparing to send their kids back to school for another year.
But that reality looks a little different for those families who chose to unschool.
Different from traditional homeschooling, unschooling is an entirely separate frontier of education… and it’s got people divided.

We can’t ignore the number of domestic violence related crimes carried out across Australia this year.
For a lot of women, domestic violence has left them with nothing; no home, no financial stability, and unfortunately in a growing number of cases, no life.
Leaving a domestic violence situation can be terrifying, overwhelming and often there are so many moving parts, it can be hard to know where to start.
In today’s episode we’ve collated a list of practical things you need to remember before what can be one of the most dangerous, important moments of your life.
If you or anyone you know needs to speak with an expert, please contact 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) — the National Sexual Assault, Domestic and Family Violence Counselling Service. If you are in immediate danger, call 000.
Mamamia is a charity partner of RizeUp Australia, a Queensland-based organisation that helps women and families move on after the devastation of domestic violence. If you would like to support their mission to deliver life-changing and practical support to these families when they need it most, you can donate here.

“We can bury anyone: Inside a Hollywood smear machine”.
That’s the New York Times headline that meant we had to bring you this episode of Mamamia Out Loud today.
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni made headlines just a few months ago for their roles in one of the year’s most-watched films, It Ends With Us. But what was happening off-screen turned out to be an even bigger story.
In this special episode, Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright unpack the facts behind Blake's legal complaint against her co-star and director Justin, which alleges sexual harassment and an orchestrated campaign to destroy her reputation.
Plus, what this lawsuit means for Hollywood power dynamics, celebrity reputations, and the way narratives and the manipulation of public perception are shaped in the digital age.

End of year celebrations come with… lots. Lots of eating, lots of socialising, and lots of chances to drink alcohol.
For a lot of us, social drinks to tie a ribbon around the end of the year is par for the course. But for some people end of year drinks can be a nightmare, a chance to slip into risk drinking behaviours.
Today we meet three women who actually gave up drinking, all in very different ways and learn what advice they have to share as we charge ahead through the festive period.
If you’re facing a sober Christmas and think you’ll be struggling, know you’re not alone. You can always reach out for help amongst your own community or speak with an expert. Contact Lifeline on 13 11 14, or visit Mind The Sip and Sober In The Country for more info.

When Louisa Hope walked into Sydney’s Lindt Cafe 5 years ago she didn't expect her life would change forever.
Louisa is one of the Sydney Siege survivors. She and her mother were held at gunpoint and trapped for 17 hours before the gunman executed cafe manager Tori Johnston on his knees in front of her. Another hostage, Katrina Dawson was killed moments later in gunfire when police stormed the cafe.
Louisa joins Mia Freedman to talk through what happened that day and how she feels five years on.
Towards the end of the siege, Louisa was shot in the foot and went to The Prince of Wales Hospital where she spent 3 months as a patient.

You know what they say, the uglier you go to sleep, the prettier you wake up, apparently?
In an age where everyone is time poor and sleep a commodity as valuable as gold, surely adding extra bedtime tasks before you hop under the covers is just taking time away from those precious moments of lights out?
There's a whole side of Tiktok dedicated to hacking your sleep, or 'sleepmaxxing'. From pre bedtime rituals to post wakeup shedding, what do the experts really think of them?

A new phrase circulating the internet is leaving women worried.
'Your Body My Choice' starting increasingly doing the rounds following the election of Donald Trump last week, flipping the pro-choice rhetoric of My Body My Choice on its head.

Fairy smut, spicy reads and sexy books... whatever you want to call it, what was once looked down upon as silly women's literature has grown into a multi billion dollar business.
The rise of genres like Romantasy is seeing legions of women delve into reading like never before, with books once hidden on the back of the shelf book now being turned into huge movies and television shows (looking at you Rivals, 50 Shades Of Grey et al.)
Today we take a look back at romance and erotica for women and why it’s now out of the shadows, and yes, this one's not for little ears.

While the internet has been going through the Erik & Lyle Menendez case with a fine tooth comb, so too has the Los Angeles County top Prosecutor George Gascón.
He's since recommended the Mendendez brothers, who are currently serving life in prison without parole, be resentenced.
But what would life on the outside look like for Erik & Lyle? Now in their 50s, they've been locked up since early adulthood and the outside world has changed drastically.
They wouldn't be the first high profile people released from prison, but what could they learn from others who've walked free before them?

ICYMI: There's a serial killer on the loose in Byron Bay... allegedly.
People are starting to connect the dots between multiple cases of women going missing or being murdered in the Byron and New South Wales coastal areas, including women with their own first-hand encounters.
So how likely is it all these cases and run ins are linked? And what's the underlying lesson we can all take away from these experiences?

Ever found yourself in the dressing room, frustrated, flustered and half naked because the pair of jeans you're wrestling with just won't fit? Yeah, us too.
Turns out not all pieces of clothes are made the same (shocker, we know).
Our friends at Mamamia's fashion podcast Nothing To Wear have been investigating why our clothes don't always fit properly, even when we buy the correct size for our bodies.

Serious question... will you join our coven?
It feels like witches and magic are everywhere at the moment, and we don't just mean because it's Halloween.
From television shows to trending on TikTok, the rise of modern witches is not something to ignore.
But what is a modern witch? Is it all a bit 'woo woo' or something we can all get onboard with?

Listen to part two of Mia and Sharon's conversation here.
Samantha Azzopardi spent 10 years receiving care as a troubled teen. It would be years before the truth came out that she was actually an adult woman.
Her scams stretched decades and impacted families, friends and even children, in Australia and abroad. But it wasn’t money that she wanted…
In this conversation, Mia speaks with investigative journalist Sharon Davis, who has spent the past few years working on the successful podcast Finding Samantha. Sharon worked with colleagues Tim Desmond, Nicoline Greer and Liam O'Brien from RTE in Ireland, tracking Samantha's crimes. What she didn’t expect was the way her own life would become entangled in this story.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Mamamia's But Are You Happy? podcast, it’s that things aren’t meant to be perfect. But try telling that to a perfectionist.
Zoë Foster Blake, a self-described perfectionist, doesn’t always see it as a positive trait. In her conversation with Clare Stephens, she shares what she’s learned about embracing failure, recognising when she needs space to recharge, and the interviews and events she chooses not to do.
Is Zoë Foster Blake happy? You’ll have to listen to find out.

A former First Lady putting her story to publication may not be unusual, but Melania Trump's memoir feels hotly anticipated.
With very little shared ahead of its release, except of course her pro-abortion revelation, we've all been left wondering... what is she saying with this book?
And is the timing of this memoir release suspicious? Were on the case.

Yes, you read that title correct... today we meet the woman who got her dog a vulvoplasty. It's just one example of how far people are willing to go for their pets.
But when did dogs go from sleeping in the kennel outside to being thrown extravagant birthday parties?
Are our four-legged friends really more than a companion we take on the daily walk?

There's a Cut article doing the rounds proposing some of us are in search of a 'dumb job'.
Now, while we know no job is dumb, it does beg the question of why so many people are searching for greener, simpler pastures.
Is it general work strife? Or is there something deeper going on...

Last month a member of the South Australian parliament introduced a bill that would drastically change abortion laws.
The bill has sparked fierce debate; some calling it cruel, others saying it represents a more humane approach.
But what are the real life consequences of such major changes to laws around pregnancy, birth and abortion? And what does it mean when members from the same party are against it.

It's been hard to ignore coverage of the latest Netflix arrival, another instalment of the Monsters series; this time focusing on the case of Erik and Lyle Menendez.
Even harder to ignore, the backlash creator Ryan Murphy has copped from the Menendez family since the series release.
One side claims the depiction of people and events is untrue, the other says it stuck to the story closely.
So who's right? We're factchecking Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story
Plus there's a deeper question the show has presented us with that we must consider...

What's a good size for your boobs? The topic of how big or small a woman's chest should be has been up for debate for as long as we can remember.
It's recently been reported a rise in breast reduction surgery, linked to a desire reclaim the breast size narrative.
And while the appearance of smaller breasts is currently in vogue, surgeons are warning it's a procedure not to be taken lightly.

Wordnesia is very real. That moment when words, yes including our own names, go from everyday acceptable to downright bizarre happens to most of us.

That inquiry has now been tabled with 25 recommendations to the Government. Today we unpack what they've discovered.

It's the case that has shocked France and led to protests outside of an Avignon court house.
For 50 years, Dominique and Gisèle Pélicot were married, but for a decade of their marriage, Gisèle was being raped without her knowledge — drugged and sexually assaulted by dozens and dozens of men.
If this case were to unfold in Australia, what kind of laws would there be to protect victim survivors from ever having to experience this again?

Today we find out what the parents of children with Autism want us to know.

Would you buy a product suggested by an AI influencer? You might've already done so without even realising.
The presence of fake, or AI generated, influencers across the internet has become even more present.
But who's behind these virtual creators? And who's pocketing the profit from them?

The theme for Women's Health Week 2024 is Your Voice, Your Choice; something that not all women experience when seeking medical help for their pain.
As the women's pain inquiry wraps up one thing is clear, more needs to be done to address women's very real pain.
Today we sit down for an exclusive first interview to hear from Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan about the first-hand accounts she's taken from this inquiry, and what happens next.

You know how the saying goes... spring has sprung!
With longer, sunnier, warmer days comes a bunch of other things too.
Like more interest in the property market, stuffy noses thanks to an increase in the pollen count and the overwhelming desire to frantically clean and declutter our homes.
We have some compelling theories (and expert advice) as to why we act the way we do during spring

Earlier this week new laws were introduced into Afghanistan restricting the rights and freedoms of women.
Under the Taliban's vice & virtue laws, women's voices and faces have been banned in public spaces in an effort to avoid temptation or tempting others.
The rules have sent a shockwave across the world, raising questions of how this can be ethical or legal?
We find out what can be done, if anything, to claw back the rights of women in Afghanistan.

Abortion is shaping up to be one of the biggest election topics this year, with many asking the question If Kamala Harris wins the election... will Roe V Wade be reinstated?
So let's unpack that question, and the many others that surfaced following the DNC.

We know there are chemicals in some of the things we buy that aren't the best for our health, but we maybe didn't consider that they might be in nearly everything.
New research from the University of Adelaide's JBI and the Minderoo Foundation has found harmful chemicals in plastic can increase our risks of developing a list of health conditions and the problem is, we don't know which plastics contain them and in what quantities.
So how do we stop ourselves from absorbing plastic chemicals when they're in so many of the things we use every day?

The Blake Lively v Justin Baldoni feud over their new movie 'It Ends With Us' has taken over our algorithms and created headlines across the globe.
But is Lively really the mean girl she's being painted as? Or is there something more at play here? Is she perhaps too powerful in her career now, able to make decisions as big as taking over control of a movie from its intended director and producer?
We discuss the power play at hand with the release of this movie, the business deals and the role Lively's husband Ryan Reynolds has played as the movie's cast and crew back her in the power war.

A new Tik Tok trend of women filming themselves getting an IUD inserted has highlighted how painful the procedure can be for many.
It's revealed that in many cases, women's pain is not taken seriously and it should be something that doctors review and reconsider when it comes to the insertion of the birth control device.
But is seeing other women's pain helping or hindering the process for those whoa re considering getting the device themselves? We look at exactly how IUD insertion works and what changes your efforts posting your experiences online have achieved.

How much sex are you having? It's a question so many of us are often wondering what the correct answer should be.
Turns out, there isn't a one size fits all solution when it comes to sex and intimacy.
Sometimes we have to seek the help and advice of a professional, and although the thought of spilling your guts to a sex therapist can be daunting, we really shouldn't be worried at all.

The Olympics didn't always look how they do now.
In years gone by many sports have been added and then axed from competition (looking at you hot air ballooning).
When we look back on the olympic sports of yesteryear one must ask the question, why were they added? And how do we get them back into the olympic arena?

Climate control at the office is fiercely debated amongst the sexes; women often feeling the need to rug up and b.y.o an under-desk heater, while men feeling virtually unaffected by the cooler conditions.
But it’s not just at the office where women are more likely to report feeling cooler temperatures.
Apparently there’s some real science to the age old adage that women do feel the cold more than men, and we’d like to know why.

Vice President Kamala Harris could have a long road ahead of her, if found as the successful Democratic nominee for this upcoming US election.
While it won't be the first time a woman has vied for the top job, commentators are tipping this race, against former President Donald Trump, to be one of the most interesting in recent memory.
So when stepping up to the plate, what can Harris learn from other women who've been successful in position of power before her?

ICYMI: Joe Biden has bowed out of the race for President at the upcoming U.S election.
What's followed is analysis, speculation and much, much commentary about whether his Vice President Kamala Harris will replace him as the Democratic nominee.
The fact Harris could be the first female President of the United States aside, is she actually the best option for the dems? And if not, who is?

Right now, across the world, Australia's athletes are gathering for last minute training and competitions ahead of the 2024 Olympic games.

Today we meet first time Olympian Alanah Yukich & fifth timer Shane Rose before they pull on the green and gold for Australia.

Earlier this week the world mourned the death of actress Shannen Doherty.
Her battle with cancer was made even more painful being forced to battle her now ex-husband who was having an affair during her treatment.
Shannen’s case isn’t isolated, it turns out many women have experienced a very similar thing. So why do some men cheat on their sick partners?

Breaking into the property market, or taking the next step to securing a new home, can be a risky one.
Sometimes the cheaper, easier alternative to purchasing a house is looking at an apartment.
But buying an apartment comes with its own set of rules and risks that you might need to be aware of before signing on the dotted line.

The world has watched on in shock following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
The shooting took place in Butler, Pennsylvania, with the Republican candidate speaking at an election campaign rally. We have the latest updates for you.
So apparently there's a competition amongst the world's most prolific sperm donors to have their samples used as many times as possible.
The new Netflix doco The Man With 1000 Kids goes into great detail about it, and raises some important questions around the regulation and responsibility of donation clinics.
But what about the men donating to these places?
Today we meet a donor-conceived woman, who in her adult life, made some pretty confronting discoveries about where she came from.

POV: You're about to hop on a 12-hour flight, are you picking your favourite movie? Maybe you're reading up on the in-flight meal service. Or maybe... you're staring at the back of the seat in front of you.
There's a relatively new trend of raw dogging your flight, where people basically just sit and stare into space until the end of their travels.
That can't be good for you...right? We're asking an expert about what happens to the body on those extra long travel days.
So if you're staring down the barrel of a long haul flight for Euro summer... listen to this first.

This Barbie is pregnant!
In case you missed it, Margot Robbie is expecting her first child, and while that's usually exciting news to share, we can't help but notice it wasn't Margot who shared it herself.
While it may have been strategic on her behalf, Margot isn't the only celebrity to have their baby news stolen by paparazzi.

The Paris Olympics are just 16 days away, and following a snap election, the French political climate is a bit of a mess.
After initially bracing for a far-right victory, results from the ballot box are skewing a way many hadn't expected.
And while the French political system is slightly more complicated than the Australian one, today we're demystifying what's just gone down in the Games host nation.
Plus answering the question: what impact will it have on the upcoming sporting events?

And while there are so many things to celebrate, there’s also still so much for non-Indigenous Australians to learn about, like the significance of a Smoking Ceremony.

So, what’s in and what’s out? And maybe more importantly, is there any relief for us during a cost of living crisis?

You might’ve seen stories about nuclear power sprouting up in your news feed lately.

If you’re not sure how to feel about that, this is the episode for you. We’re hearing arguments from both sides about just how cost effective and clean nuclear power can be.

If you’ve been thinking “boy, it’s really cold this winter” you’re not alone.
Every June we ask the question of why our homes feel extra cold, and more importantly, how can we stay warm?
Apparently, there’s a lot of easy changes we can make to keep us toasty across the next few months…

Julian Assange is expected to return to Australia a free man, after reaching a plea deal with the United States Department of Justice.
Since 2012 the WikiLeaks founder has been evading extradition from both Sweden and the US.
So why now could we see Assange essentially a free man? And what has to take place in order for that to happen?

It’s been 14 years since Julia Gillard was elected as Australia’s first female Prime Minister.
And while many still look upon that milestone fondly, we have to wonder… how long until we see another woman in the top job?
Let’s take a look at the current political lineup and ask political journalist Amy Remeikis how long she thinks we’ll be waiting.

Have you heard of the 78’ers? They’re the group people who first marched through the streets of Sydney in celebration of the queer community.
Unfortunately, not everyone was keen to partake in the partying, resulting in arrests, protests and violence.
Almost 50 years on from the very first Sydney Gay & Lesbian Made Gras and where are we at? We ask some of those original 78’ers their thoughts on just how far we’ve come.

With just over a month ’til the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, we’re been wondering… how do you even pull an event of that scale off?
We asked the President of the 2032 Brisbane Games Organising Committee how he’s preparing for the world to head down under.
Plus what happens when residents from a host nation aren’t happy with the games rollout? You might want to stick with bottled water during this episode.

How much would you pay to be cryogenically frozen after death? Apparently around $150k should do it.
A Sydney man has just become the first Aussie to be frozen, with the hopes of being thawed out when technology to do so eventually catches up.
Today we speak to a man who freezes people for a living in the hopes someone will do the same service for him when the time comes.

In Australia the current age to sign up to social media platforms is 13 years old, but research suggests that is too young and that social media is actually rewiring kids brains to become more anxious, contributing to an epidemic of mental illness.
In this episode of The Quicky, we discuss the 36 Month Movement with it's spokesperson and co-founder Nova's Michael 'Wippa' Whipfli about why he wants to increase the age of social media sign up from 13 to 16 and what difference that could have on kids mental health.

Content Warning: In this episode, we do discuss domestic violence in detail. Please take care when listening.
The rate of men killing women in Australia is alarmingly high, with now one woman being violently murdered every four days. Three women were allegedly murdered in the space of 48 hours this past week.
One thing that pops up time and time again is how women can better protect themselves against these men. But would learning self defence actually help?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the pros and cons of taking matters into your own hands when it comes to protecting yourself, and how martial arts might just help to bring down the heartbreaking statistics.
If you, or someone you know needs help, call 1800 RESPECT - 1800 737 732

On May 21, Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 was flying 211 passengers when it hit some unexpected turbulence. Many passengers suffered head and spinal injuries, and sadly one passed away after it's believed his heart gave out.
But what happened? What is turbulence? Can pilots avoid it? Is it deadly?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the report explaining exactly what happened to flight SQ321, if turbulence is getting worse, and if so, what can we do about it?

On Friday morning Australia woke to the news that Donald Trump, former President of The United States of America, was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records.

In this episode of The Quicky, we take you through exactly what Trump has been found guilty of and the ripple effect it could have on the US election in a few months.

On Sunday night, families living in a makeshift tent city in the Tel Al-Sultan neighbourhood in the southern Gaza city of Rafah were settling in for the night when airstrikes hit, burning their camps to the ground, killing dozens of civilians.
This was supposed to be a safe zone for people already displaced by the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take you to the streets of Rafah to look at what will happen to the displaced Palestinians who now have nowhere to go.

Did you know that fashion used to be in a cycle. Every few decades, something that went through the stages of a fashion trend would return to the front of the pack.
But that rotation is broken! Now, it's everything everywhere all at once. And we might be destroying the planet to keep it up!
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to style queen and Mamamia's own Leigh Campbell to find out why fit checks and ootd's are killing the fashion cycle.

While Millennials and Boomers have been fighting, and Gen X have been largely ignored, Generation Alpha have snuck up behind us all, and we’re a little shook.
Sometimes it might feel like they’re speaking a different language, but Gen A are simply a product of the world they were born into.
That doesn’t make it any less confusing… luckily Ashley Fell has done the research so you don’t have to.

"I wish you could experience it so you would really understand"
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder has often been summed up as a person being extremely tidy, or having a quirk where they repeat the same action multiple times.
But for people living with the anxiety disorder, it can be crippling.
On today's episode of The Quicky we hear from someone with lived experience of OCD and also an expert to help us understand more about an often overlooked condition.

You’d be forgiven for thinking Harry & Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were back in the royal fold, given their recent tour of Nigeria.
But alas, they’re still out of favour with the current working royals.
But wasn’t this hybrid working model of royal-but-not-fully-royal life what the Sussex's suggested to the Queen back when they were trying to move out of the family fold? Have they shown up the struggling firm by exposing how it could have been for them had they kept the couple on the books?
The Quicky team looks into whether this Invictus Games tour of the African nation, is a political manoeuvre or a diversion tactic.

Warning: Please note this episode discusses domestic violence and an assault. If that is triggering for you, please take care when listening.
A video was recently leaked to US news service CNN of a man in a towel assaulting his girlfriend in a hotel hallway in 2016.
That man is Sean Combs, aka P.Diddy, now known as just Diddy. And the woman he was assaulting was his girlfriend at the time, RnB singer Cassie.
So what happens now that we have actual video evidence of this? And what do we make of the apology video that followed?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to The Spill's Laura Brodnik to take a look at exactly what Diddy did, and what happens now.
If you, or someone you know, needs to speak to a professional you can contact 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737732

Over a third of our life is spent working, which means we spend a lot of time with our colleagues. But do you know what makes you a good, bad or down right annoying colleague?
Do you break the headphone rule or bring in stinky lunches to the shared kitchens? Or are you the one everyone wants to get coffee with and brings all the goss?

Recently, yet another Australian school has found itself in the midst of controversy surrounding the behaviour of some of their male students.
The students had created and circulated a spreadsheet with the names of their fellow female classmates. It included photos of the girls alongside a ranking system from wifeys, cuties, mids, objects, get out and unrapable.
When news broke about this, a lot of people asked why?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a man who, as a teenager, said something horrific about a female peer, to find out why he said it, and what he thinks about it all these years later.

What’s in a name? Apparently some of us have a long rich history behind our monikers… others were plucked from pop culture.
Every year the list of top baby names is released there’s always a frenzy to compare and contrast, predicting how many Matilda’s or Olivia’s will be entering the year one classroom in a matter of years.
How does a baby name even become popular, or lost to the sands of time? We’re diving into the data on today’s episode.

It feels like there’s been an increase in the number of knife related crimes in our community lately.
And while statistics might show they’re actually on the decline, there’s still more we can do to lower that number even further.
But it might not be as easy to resolve like the gun amnesty achieved in the 1990s, so how do we actually stop people from using a knife as a deadly weapon?

Hot flushes, night sweats and mood swings… oh my!
Most women might have to deal with symptoms associated with menopause, but at least their saving grace has been found in a variety of medications.
Those medications, known as Hormone Replacement Therapy, might come in a wide array of applications - but what happens when some of them become scarce in supply?
That’s exactly the predicament many Australian women are finding themselves in at the moment.
So, why is there a shortage in supply and is it something we’re just supposed to get used to?

Ever heard of sleep hygiene? No, it’s not the act of washing your feet before you hop into bed… although, that probably wouldn’t go astray.
It’s more the steps you take to ensure a good night’s sleep.
So, what is best practice at bedtime? We’re getting between the sheets with a sleep expert to find out more.

A little bit gossip never hurt anybody… or so we tell ourselves.
What we know gossip to be now, is very different from how it once was.
From its old timey use during childbirth, to the more modern day concept of swapping secrets, and even its application as a tool for women’s safety, gossip has been through many, many phases.
So how do we feel about gossip in 2024?

Whether it be after a night out, or after we’ve dropped the car off for a service, most of us have booked a lift from a stranger through an app like Uber or Didi.
But what about letting our kids ride solo in an Uber? The ride share company has just announced it’ll start allowing teens to book a trip alone in select cities across the country.
Should parents be worried about their safety? Or relieved they won’t need to ferry them from activity to activity. We ask a child safety expert all about it.

The concept of generating buzz around an upcoming film is not a new one. Celebrities have been engaging in wild stunts and bizarre promo in the hope to get bums in seats at their latest flick.

So what is method dressing? And what effect is it having on the success of these movies?

Egg donation is not a common practise here in Australia.
Many women don't consider doing it unless they are specifically approached by someone they know to do so. So what would it take for you to donate your eggs to help a couple who haven't been able to conceive themselves?
We speak to Stef, who has undergone the full process of egg donation to demystify what it takes to give the ultimate gift to a couple desperate to start a family.
For more information on how to become an egg donor yourself, you can find details at IVF Australia.

When is the last time you paid for something with cold, hard cash?
We saw a decrease in cash transactions during the COVID-19 pandemic, but it turns out, we we're looking down a cashless barrel long before 2020.
With experts arguing that a cashless world offers us convenience, transparency and stability, it's left others feeling worried.
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at what a cashless Australia might look like, who is left vulnerable, and just how likely are we to really get there?

Lemon juice, tea tree oil, baking soda & vinegar. All items you'd likely find in your pantry, but they are also being used in a lot of homes as natural cleaning products.
We're constantly told that the chemicals in household cleaning products are harmful to us and our families, so a lot of us are seeking natural alternatives that can be found around the home, but do they work?
In this episode of The Quicky we dish the dirt on which products really will help keep your home clean and fresh and which are just bad science experiments.

Please note, this episode speaks of child abuse.
The Franke's. They were a stereotypical American mormon family from Utah. In 2015, Ruby & her husband Kevin started posting vlogs of their day to day life with their 6 kids.
But over the years, loyal fans started voicing their concerns at how the parents were disciplining their children.
In this episode of The Quicky we discover what happened when the cameras weren't rolling inside the walls of the Franke house, and how this seemingly normal, albeit strict, mum of 6 was torturing her own children.

Maybe you're in different cities, states, or maybe there's an ocean separating you? Whatever the case, we know you love and miss your bestie, and we know it can be hard to maintain those relationships when you don't get to see someone face to face as often as you'd like.

And a quick shout out to team Quicky's long distance besties, Sharna and Anna.

If you ask any of your friends, family or colleagues how they are on any given day, chances are a number of them will respond with 'tired'.
We get it. Between work, families, keeping up a household, thinking of the menu for the week, exercising, self care and everything else you've got going on...it's no wonder we're all tired. But just how tired is normal? At what point does it tip into chronic fatigue territory?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak with a medical professional to see if our tiredness is normal, and what can be done about it.

ICYMI: There's been 13 rate rises since 2022. Homeowners are wondering when will increases to their mortgage repayments slow down? Others are asking the question what should I do with my home loan right now?
While economists and other financial experts might not see eye-to-eye on a timeline, the good news is, they all agree rate cuts are coming.
So, should we be looking to buy now? Wait to see if there’s a drop in house prices? Or even refinance on a good rate? It’s all up for debate in today’s episode.

Let us all take a moment for our favourite internet personalities who are mourning the potential ban of TikTok in the US.
After passing through the United States House of Representatives, a bill to block the social media app from use across the country is sitting with the senate and is looking more and more likely that access to app will eventually be blocked due to privacy and propaganda concerns.
So with action to bar Americans from accessing TikTok so rapidly advancing, could something similar happen in Australia too? On today’s episode of The Quicky, we’re on the case.

Six years. That's how long Vladimir Putin will remain in power in Russia... for now.
Earlier this week he was victorious in the country's election - winning in a landslide result of 87.3%. But why did Russia even hold an election when it was almost certain that Putin would be re-elected?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at what happens now for Russia and the rest of the world, particularly Ukraine, as well as claims of a rigged election.

The Lady Vanishes Podcast has kept us on the edge of our seat for the past 5 years as it investigated the case of missing Australian woman Marion Barter.
Five years later, that podcast has come to an end. But are we any closer to knowing the truth about what really happened to Marion?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to the executive producer of The Lady Vanishes, about the decades worth of evidence they sifted through and what was realised since the investigation began.

You've heard all the stories about how you're supposed to treat your technology right? Like not charging your phone overnight, or near your body. That Siri and Alexa are always listening and tracking us. Or that you dump your phone in rice when it's wet.

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak with our resident tech expert, Trevor Long, to find out the fact from fiction when it comes to our devices.

They're the puppet masters of our favourite reality TV shows.
From the moment a celeb is recruited or a person is plucked from obscurity to star in the latest cooking, dating or survival show, Reality TV producers are back there, pulling the strings, recruiting the biggest personalities and making sure each and every episode will be packed full of drama and scandal.
So why do they do it? What war stories can they share? And who are worse, the normies or the celebs? Reality TV producers spill the tea on what really happens behind the reality TV curtain from MAFS to MKR and Masterchef.

Sam Kerr. We know her. We love her. But our love was called into question this week, when it was revealed that in January last year, after our star Matilda had been out celebrating, a drunken taxi ride in Twickenham ended with her throwing up and allegedly arguing with the cabbie over the fare.
Police were then called where Kerr reportedly got into an altercation with a white police officer, allegedly calling him a 'stupid white bastard'. She's since been charged with racially aggravated harassment.
But what exactly constitutes racism? Can a person of colour be racist towards a white person?
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at exactly this with Craig Foster, who admits to reevaluating his initial opinions of Sam following the news.

Growing out a fringe, recovering from a BBL, even accusations that she might be Banksy? These were just some of the conspiracies clouding the Royals last month after Princess Kate was not seen following a planned abdomen surgery for a serious but undisclosed health condition.
And earlier this week, hoping to put an end to the conspiracy theories, a photo of Princess Kate and her three kids on Mother's Day was posted to the official Instagram of Kate & William. Hours later a kill notice was issued because the photo had been manipulated.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to our resident royal expert, Holly Wainwright about what exactly happened following that photo and what it means for the Royals now.

Some of Australia's elite all boys schools have been making headlines again - one for all the wrong reasons. Following an exposé revealing female teachers at a Sydney school felt unsafe and marginalised by the toxic behaviours of both students and other teachers.
This follows from numerous other reports in recent years, including 2022 when a separate Sydney school expelled six students after a brutal hazing ritual was exposed.
So, is it time to dismantle the all boys school system? In this episode of The Quicky, we speak with a man who works with students across Australia teaching healthy masculinity.

Imagine picking up the phone and realising that your Dad is an ASIO spy?
That happened to Julian Schiller when he was just 12 years old. Since then he has had to navigate the minefield of secrets that envelops ASIO employees due to the nature of their work, to tell the story of how his Dad's job took him from relatively mundane tasks to life threatening situations every day.
With our politicians exposed as targets of foreign operators, he explains why countries like Russia and China still have their eyes on us.

After new data was made available exposing the gender pay gaps across Australian industries, it made many women wonder, if the men up the corporate ladder are getting paid so much more, could the men beside me also be getting a higher salary?
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at which businesses are still behind when it comes to the gender pay gap, what is being done to change that now that it's out in the open and what to do if you find out you're being paid less than your male colleagues.

What is going on with The Royals? A surgery following King Charles enlarged prostate, William's sudden leave, and until yesterday we hadn't seen a glimpse of Princess Kate in public for months, after undergoing a planned abdominal surgery for a serious but undisclosed health condition.
The internet blew up with conspiracies of what might've really happened to Kate, everything from BBL's to bangs. But why are we so distrustful of the information the Royal Family has given us?
In this episode of The Quicky, we'll take a look at what is going on with the British Royals and why we feel like something terrible must have happened.

Last year when the popularity of weight loss drugs surged, it lead to a worldwide shortage, that is still going on today. In a bid to assist with those shortages, some compounding pharmacists mass-produced their own versions of popular weight-loss drugs.
Earlier this week the TGA, which regulates medicines in Australia, proposed a change which would effectively ban compounded injectable weight loss drugs from being made or sold in Australia, due to concerns the drugs may be unsafe or ineffective.
In this episode of The Quicky, we shed a light on the safety and effectiveness of compounded drugs compared to their commercial counterparts.

Dupes! We love them. They save us money. We feel so clever when we find them.
From makeup to clothing, shoes and even water bottles, companies seem to be getting away with mimicking popular products. But how do they manage it? And what does it mean for the original creators?
In this episode of The Quicky we look at dupe culture and the impacts and legalities around them.

Charlotte the stingray is an internet sensation. Why you ask? Because she's currently pregnant and despite researchers attempts, no one knows how!
Charlotte has been in a tank in North Carolina, with no male sting rays in sight. So is this a case of sisters doing it for themselves? Or has some kind of cross breeding happened with Moe and Larry, two male white spot bamboo sharks that occupy the same tank?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a stingray expert to find out just how likely it is that Charlotte is about to be a mum to shark-ray babies.

When a patient at a fertility clinic wandered into an Alabama cryogenic embryo storage room in 2020, they caused a chain of events that has left the US state's IVF sector reeling.
Several embryos were destroyed when the patient dropped them. Three couples brought lawsuits against the clinic; which lead to the question: Is a frozen embryo considered a child under Alabama state law? Well, the Supreme Court of Alabama ruled that, yes, a frozen embryo is indeed a child.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the implications of this High Court decision, and the likelihood of something like this happening here in our own IVF clinics.

The spotlight is back on the culture of Australian Police again, after a year of gay-hate crime inquiry revelations, racism from a Northern Territory Police inquiry and just this month, the death of two men, allegedly at the hands of a NSW policeman.
Following on from the deaths of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, the Sydney Mardi Gras board have rescinded the invitation for Police to march in this years Pride parade.
This episode of The Quicky takes a look at the systemic issues within the Australian Police force and how the LGBTQIA+ community is reeling from recent events.

A new, first of its kind study has revealed a link between women who experience long covid and a decrease in their sexual health.
We know so much about how the coronavirus impacted other areas of our health, but this study finally looks at the impact of COVID-19 on 6 key sexual health areas in women, finding those who had contracted covid were more likely to be experiencing sexual disfunction.
So can we do anything about it? How do we discuss it with our doctors and why is the world in general having less sex in 2024?
The Quicky team investigates the link between covid and our low libidos

The Quicky evening news update for Friday February 3rd 2024.
- Police say they are investigating if missing Victorian woman Samantha Murphy’s body has potentially been moved as they reveal it is unlikely that the 51 year old will be found alive.
Ms Murphy left her Ballarat East home for a jog on the morning of February 4 and hasn’t been seen since, the detectives investigating the case saying they are keeping an open mind about her disappearance but that the most likely scenario is that it involved one or more parties, ruling out a medical episode and with nothing to indicate that she left the area on her own accord, leaving them to believe she has possibly been killed and that her body has since been relocated..
The lead detective wouldn’t say how many suspects they are currently following up but clarified that her Husband Mick was not one of them at this stage.
- A currently serving police officer has been taken into custody after presenting himself to investigators looking into the disappearance of former channel 10 reporter Jessie Baird and his Qantas flight attendant partner Luke Davies.
The 28 year old handed himself in at the Bondi police station shortly after 10:30 this morning after calls from police saying they were looking for a third person who may have information to help them unravel what has happened to the pair, neighbours reporting loud arguments in Baird’s apartment Monday night before blood stained items belonging to both Baird and Davies were found in skip at Cronulla. That discovery led police to Mr Baird’s blood stained apartment in Paddington 30 km away.
Detective Superintendent Daniel Doherty said the man, who will be charged with two counts of murder, is the ex partner of Jessie Baird but that no motive has been established at this point, but that they have found a projectile that had been discharged that matched a police firearm and a white van, that is believed to have been used to transport the bodies of the two men after being hired on Monday night, has also been located although the bodies are yet to be found.
- Deputy opposition leader Sussan Ley has called for the Prime Minister to hand over his ticket to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour, saying he’s not a real Swiftie and should give it up for a true super fan.
Speaking to Seven’s Sunrise program Ley says what the PM does on his nights off is of course up to him, and if he wants to see Taylor Swift that’s cool but listening to those who couldn't get tickets ,she sent a message to Anthony Albanese to hand them over to a real Swiftie.
Mr Albanese says he’s looking forward to the gig and says he's already been given a bunch of friendship bracelets to prepare for the night.
- For the first time, the winners of the London Marathon, whether they are able bodied or not, will get equal prize money.
The wheelchair category in London was already one of the highest paid purses for a marathon in the world but from this year, there will be an increase of US $54,000 to the overall prize pool with the wheelchair winners taking home $55,000, second $30,000 and third $22,000.
the London marathon will be held on Sunday April 21 with three Aussies in the wheelchair category, including previous winner and defending champion Madison de Rozario

Our major supermarkets have faced some controversy lately; accused of price gouging customers, stifling competitors and ripping off suppliers.
An investigation by Four Corners earlier this week showed a CEO walking out of a sit-down interview, followed by a subsequent announcement that same CEO would be retiring.
But what is price gouging? And why is the announcement of a CEO retiring so controversial?
In this episode of The Quicky we investigate what our supermarkets are doing and whether we, as the consumers, can be hopeful for improvements in pricing transparency and affordability when we get to the checkouts.

Donald Trump has been directed by a NY judge to pay $354.9 million in fines imposed due to the fraudulent manner in which he has conducted his business, over-inflating the value of properties to score better deals on loans and insurance and to pay less taxes.
That money is what he essentially owes to those institutions he has defrauded, but will he stump up the cash or continue the fight? The question is, can he afford to?
And what of the race back to the White House? Does another civil finding against Trump make him less shiny to his supporters, or more relatable as he's seen to be fighting a corrupt system out to get him?
Today we find out how Trump is handling his BIG HUGE, MASSIVE loss and whether it makes any difference to the leadership in the U.S.A

Over 90% of Australians have a smart phone. And more often than not, they seem to be stuck to our hot little hands, meaning we can be contacted by anyone at anytime, including by our bosses outside of working hours. But that's all about to change.
A new law has passed that gives employees a "right to disconnect" from work, ignoring emails and calls outside of work hours.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what it actually looks like and what implications it might have on us when we decide to hit ignore on the bosses calls or leave them on read.
To read Chris's piece Smartphones mean we’re always available to our bosses. ‘Right to disconnect’ laws are a necessary fix click here.

11 Days Ago, Ballarat woman Samantha Murphy went out for a jog and never came home.
There's been CCTV footage looked at, extensive search parties through local bushland and endless pleas for any information and yesterday police ruled the disappearance as suspicious.
In this episode, we speak with a local Ballarat woman who shares many of the same running routes as Samantha about how the community is feeling, and how the women are banding together to watch each other's backs.

Have you been on TikTok lately and noticed a lot of videos are now silent? That's because Universal Music Group, or UMG, have decided to remove the music they own from the video sharing platform.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to an expert who can tell us why this is happening, as well as Aussie artist Amy Sheppard from the band Sheppard (yes the guys who sang Geronimo!) about how this move will affect her and other artists who rely on the social media exposure to get the support from their record labels.
Check out Amy's new song Small Town Rumours here.

We often think about how the kids and parents are coping in those first few days and weeks of school, but what about those who've been back in the classroom way before the students?
Teachers have been busy getting the classroom ready for the new influx of faces, learning the names of 30 to 100 children to make sure they don't feel alone in their education experience, sometimes taking money out of their own pockets to ensure those in schools with less funding, have the ability to at least write on something or with something.
But despite the difficulties (yes, we include parental interactions in that category) teachers describe the joy they feel when the school year begins again.

Elmo becoming the internet's therapist was not on my 2024 bingo card, but here we are!
Earlier this week, thousands of people unloaded their life problems on the Sesame Street alumni after he asked “How is everybody doing?” on X.
Not well, it seems.
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at why Elmo's post sent us all into existential dread and how we can turn that around.

If 2023 was the year of 'quiet luxury', 2024 is the year of 'loud budgeting', which involves openly discussing financial decisions and constraints and feeling proud to say no to spending non-essential money.
No longer are we putting ourselves into debt for things we can't afford. Takeout, coffees, food delivery services and streaming are just some of the things Aussies are willing to go without to pinch a few pennies.
In this episode, we investigate whether this new way of handling your finances can really help you get there with more in your pocket.

When Trent Dalton's best selling book Boy Swallows Universe hit the small screen this year, it brought with it all the Brisbane 1980's vibes with it.
As Eli Bell navigates his way through his troubling but beautiful life, he is surrounded by markers of a time gone by, with fat back TV's, cassette players, cars with window winders and landline telephones with a dial.
For those who grew up during this time it's a reminder of a simpler life where technology didn't rule our universe, but do we really want to go back to that? And even if we wanted to, could we?
The Quicky team investigates what it would take to turn back tech time.

This time next week the 58th Superbowl will be mere hours from starting. The San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs will go head to head in Las Vegas.
And stepping onto that field is none other than Travis Kelce, aka Taylor Swift's boyfriend! He's vying for his second Superbowl in a row, his third in total.
For the Swifties, Taylors appearance at games throughout the NFL season has been an exciting glimpse into her real life. The NFL bros haven't exactly shared that excitement.
Taylor Swift is known for her love of "easter eggs". She hides little hints of new music, tour announcements, and everything in between for her fans to discover. It's also worth noting that Taylor's favourite number is 13.
In this episode of The Quicky, we'll be breaking down the superstitions and patterns Swiftie's have discovered ahead of the big game that basically guarantees her man will win the Superbowl.

If you're a woman, there's a chance you've probably worn high heels before. So you know how uncomfortable they can be.
Yet, for many different reasons, despite the pain, we continue to slip our feet into 4, 6, even 8 inch heels. For some, they make you feel powerful, others like the additional height they provide, some like how they make our butts and legs look. But did you know heels were never intended to walk in?
In this episode of The Quicky we're going back in time to understand the history of the high heel, how they were meant for men and whether they are considered a feminist or anti-feminist statement.

These three brands of water bottles have taken the world by storm. When a new Stanley cup is released, people camp outside their local target for days to make sure they're able to get their hands on one.

We are in the thick of awards season, and so far we've seen a few Aussies take home some pretty impressive accolades.
We know Hollywood is chock full of Australians. Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchett, Hugh Jackman, Chris Hemsworth, just to name a few. But arguably the most notable Australian to make it big in Hollywood was the late Heath Ledger.
In this episode of The Quicky, as we remember Heath Ledger's passing on January 22 2008, we hear from a friend of the Ledger family and recipient of the Heath Ledger scholarship about just how much Heath did, and still does, for his fellow Aussie actors.

Tomorrow is January 26 and for many that means a day off work to have a bbq with friends, maybe some fireworks or a trip to the beach with family.
But for many, January 26 represents a day of pain and suffering for First Nations People.
In this episode of The Quicky, we discuss the ongoing debate surrounding the 26th of January. The historical significance of the date, its impact on First Nations Australians and the growing conversations around Australia Day.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the loss of babies, so please take care when listening.
Earlier this week was the 51 year anniversary of the landmark Roe V Wade decision handed by the US Supreme Court, protecting a persons right to an abortion.
Fast forward to June 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned that ruling, and the abortion rights of women across the United States were extremely prohibited or gone altogether.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to an expert in women and girls' rights to see where the women of the US are now and if there is any chance of the decision being overturned soon.

We're a few weeks into the new year now, and for some, you may have been able to stick to those resolutions you made on January 1. For others, you may have already fallen off the wagon.
While many of us tackle our resolutions alone, research shows that we are more successful at keeping our goals if we do it with a partner.
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at how we get ourselves an accountability partner and what should we be looking for?

Her entire childhood, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was made to believe she was sick.
Her mother, 'Dee Dee' as she was known, told Gypsy, and the world, that her daughter was terminally ill, confined to a wheelchair with her head shaved. Gypsy was told she had leukaemia, seizures, muscular dystrophy and developmental issues. She was fed through a feeding tube.
In 2015 Gypsy and her then boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn, whom she met online, plotted to murder Dee Dee.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the life of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. How she took revenge on her mother, and where she is now.

Have you ever wondered what happens to your online presence after you die?
Now with technology like AI and holograms, we're seeing a rise in reanimations to create a version of someone deceased to interact with long after they're gone.
We've seen Tupac and Michael Jackson appear via hologram at concerts, Kim Kardashian's famous father was immortalised as a birthday present to her and just last year The Beatles released a new single using AI technology to isolate John Lennon's voice from a late 1970's demo.
But how would you feel if someone reanimated you using your digital footprint? In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at the moral and ethical arguments around what to do with your digital remains.

In recent weeks, a judge in the US has released a trove of documents relating to a 2015 defamation case brought against convicted child sex trafficker Ghislane Maxwell.
In these documents reportedly lurked a list of celebrity names, high flying, powerful men and women who are linked to pedophile and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
So who made the list? Do we find out anything new about Donald Trump, Bill Clinton or Prince Andrew's dealings with the now late millionaire? And what do these documents reveal about the way in which the rich and powerful interact with the justice system.
To read more about Jeffrey Epstein's celebrity friends, find Gemma Bath's story here

Every day we are surrounded by endless information. We are taking things in when we check our phones, turn on the tv, go to the supermarket, get in our cars. It's almost inescapable. Most of us carry phones with us all day everyday. Phones that have the entire internets knowledge at the end of our fingertips.
With our lives now so information saturated, there is research stating that our cognitive function is being impaired by too much information.
A few years ago, entrepreneur Tim Ferriss introducer a concept called the 'low-information diet'. The concept is to limit our intake of unnecessary information to free up time and brain space.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what a low-information diet is and whether it's right for you.

Next week, Aussie kids return to the school yard for their first day of 2024.
There will be those entering those gates for the very first time, full of nerves and excitement, those who are old hats and wander in like 'here we go again' and for some, it might be the very last time it’ll be their first day back at school, facing down year 12 and all that comes with it.
Today we’re looking at the different types of kids at the school gate on the first day, how you can help with those suffering anxiety and how to handle your own emotions when your child walks in and never looks back.

You might have seen some videos on the news and social media about people being stopped by police refusing to hand over personal details. These people often say the police have no jurisdiction over them because they are Sovereign Citizens.
These people have increased in numbers since the Covid pandemic with anti-government sentiment on the rise, many decided it's time to free themselves from the Australian legal system and declare themselves a separate entity.
In today's episode of The Quicky we look at who sovereign citizens are, what they want and why the FBI has declared them incredibly dangerous.

2023 saw 11 shark attacks in Australia, 3 of them fatal.
In February, 16 year old Stella Berry was bitten and killed by a bull shark in Perth's Swan River. It's the first shark fatality for Australia in 2023, and the first in The Swan River in a century.
We all know there are sharks in ocean. We all know that they are dangerous predators. But do you know what to do when confronted with one?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a man who was bitten by a shark not far from the same spot that Stella Berry was killed. We also hear from a shark safety diver who works with sharks every day, about what not to do if you come face to face with one of the oceans deadliest hunters.

We have been exposed to a whole lot of Sussex over the past few years. Prince Harry's tell-all memoir, Spare hit the shelves in January, and it created a complete frenzy with Royal fans and haters, alike.
We've heard about a physical altercation with Prince William, his time in the military and we even got a peak inside the time Harry lost his virginity. But, not all his stories have been well received.
In this episode of The Quicky we look at why Harry's exposés have been a little too much for some to swallow and what happens now he's put all that dirty laundry on display.

Earlier this year, the Therapeutic Goods Administration changed the classification of Psilocybin and MDMA to allow psychiatrists to prescribe them for use in treating some mental health disorders.
But with this change comes questions. Who will benefit from their use? Who will be eligible?
In today's episode of The Quicky, we speak to professionals to break down psychedelics for the treatment of mental health issues and whether this move really does open up the door to new treatments that could end the suffering of thousands. We also speak to a woman who lost her husband who's life may have been saved if he had access to these drugs.

Almost every hour of everyday an Australian woman dies of heart disease. On average, that equates to 20 women a day.
Every February, Heart Research Australia dedicates a month to heart research - they call it RedFeb. On top of asking for people to wear red and donate, they're raising awareness for the under diagnosis and lack of treatment for women with heart disease.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the risk factors that specifically affect women, and what you can do to look after your heart health.

It's that time of year when you might be heading home to see family for Christmas.
Heading home for the holidays can be charged with so many emotions, excitement, comforting, soul charging, but it can also bring about some other feelings.
Maybe you walk in the door of your family home and turn back into the teenage version of yourself, reacting in the same way to triggers you did years earlier?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at why we do this and how we navigate family dynamics at this time of year.

Back in October the world was saddened to learn that Friends star Matthew Perry had died. And earlier this week, a toxicology report was made public showing that the actor had Ketamine in his system when he died in his hot tub in LA.
In this episode of The Quicky, we ask an expert what is ketamine, and why would a known drug addict be treated with a potentially addictive drug?

Back in 2005 a newspaper, owned by Rupert Murdoch, ran a story about Prince William hurting his knee. It raised suspicions amongst the royals. Why? They believed the information was gained by hacking into their voicemails.
This week, Prince Harry won a court case where a judge ruled in favour of him.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what Harry won, aside from the money. Will this case change the nature of the British press?

Sunshine Coast MP Andrew Wallace is trying to stop our kids from watching porn online.
It's not an easy task but other countries are already introducing age restrictions on certain types of websites including those where you can access alcohol delivery, gambling and pornography.
With the links between pornography consumption and violence in the real world against women and young girls, Andrew Wallace believes we can't act soon enough to shut it down

Earlier this week Zac Efron joined an elite group of actors, singers, athletes and broadcasters when he was honoured with his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
While we've seen the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg and even Mickey Mouse accept their star on the famous footpath, have you ever thought about how exactly these stars come about?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at how celebrities get their name on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, and how it has only a little to do with their talent.

Yesterday three Prime Ministers, including our own, came together to call for a sustainable ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
The call came as the UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to demand the same, in a strong show of global support for ending the Israel Hamas war.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said a ceasefire is not an option.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what it will take to make a ceasefire happen - is international pressure enough to force Israel and Hamas to lay down their weapons?

There seems to be two types of people through the month of December.
The first are full of festive spirit, excited for the parties and socialising, soaking up those finish line vibes. The others are in full burn out mode, dragging themselves to the end of the month with less optimism and more dread about what the next few weeks look like.
And while you might fit into the latter, there are actually three very distinct types of burnout that extend beyond a feeling of being tired or too busy.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the three types of burnout and how to combat them to start afresh in 2024.

You may have heard of Incels before - but do you know what it means?
It stands for involuntarily celibate. It's a group of boys and men who group together in online forums to vent their rage and sometimes share the ways they're getting revenge on the women they believe would never date them in the real world.
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look inside the incel movement, the ways in which they are enacting their revenge and why 'chadfishing' might even catch you out.
To learn more about this check out the SBS series Inside The Incels here and here.

For two weeks Australia has watched on as witnesses have described what they believe went down in Parliament house in 2019.
Both Bruce Lehrmann and Brittany Higgins have endured attacks on their credibility and honesty as they have been cross examined over the night they returned to their place of work after a night out drinking.
But with the end of the trial nearing, what happens If Bruce Lehrmann loses? Will he face a similar situation to former Australian soldier Ben Roberts Smith who has essentially been named as a war criminal after his defamation trial?
The Quicky team takes you through the trial so far and the implications of a case that never got an answer in a criminal court.

What time do you eat dinner? Is it 6pm so you can eat with your kids? Or maybe it's 9pm after a long day of work? Maybe it's somewhere in between.
There's new research to suggest that maybe we're dining a little too late in the day which may have negative impacts on our body.
In this episode of The Quicky we look at the right time of day to eat your dinner and what we can do if that's not an option for you.

Last month, Australia's high court ruled that it was illegal to keep people in indefinite immigration detention without the prospect of being deported back to the country of origin.
Since then, hundreds of detainees were released into the public. In the past few days, three have been arrested.
In this episode of The Quicky, we break down indefinite detention, who the people are being let out, what they've done since and the new laws aimed at putting them back in detention.

Australia has entered another wave of Covid. The eighth to circulate since the virus first reared its head back in late 2019.
But now, four years on, we don't know what vaccine we're up to or what strain of Covid is circulating. So how do we know that numbers are increasing?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at where we're at with our eighth wave of Covid, new vaccines and whether or not we'll be staring down yet another Covid Christmas.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese recently stood on the floor in federal parliament and apologised to the victims and families of a shocking 1950's and 60's pharmaceutical nightmare.
For women who were struggling with morning sickness back then, a drug was being marketed to them as the cure for their nausea. Thalidomide would help ease a rolling tummy but what those mothers didn't know and what the people who manufactured the drug failed to explore, was the impact this drug would have on their unborn children.
Today The Quicky team looks into the impacts of thalidomide, and the children who still live with it's devastating consequences today.

It's been more than 10 years since Reeva Steenkamp was killed by her boyfriend, Oscar Pistorius. And recently, he has been granted parole to walk free from jail in 2024.
There's been multiple versions of events spoken about the night of Valentines Day in 2013, when Oscar shot Reeva through the bathroom door, killing her almost instantly.
In this episode of The Quicky, we go back 10 years, to the night Reeva was killed and speak with someone who's investigated the evidence to find out exactly what happened on that fatal night.

2020 changed the way we work - most businesses had employees working from home throughout the pandemic. But now, some years on from COVID, despite proving that our productivity increased during that time, we find ourselves still facing the discussion about returning to the office.
While some employees are actively fighting the full time return to the CBD, others are embracing the return - but not for the reason you might think.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at why people are choosing Friday as the day of choice to be back in the office.

We all know how it feels after a rough night of tossing and turning only to have your alarm clock go off way too soon.
We now have the technology on our wrists to track our sleep patterns, providing us with data to show exactly how deep, long and restful our sleep is, but what if you're not getting good sleep? We know sleep is one of the most important aspects of a journey to good health, so what damage does a bad nights sleep do to us.
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at how we can recover from a bad sleep and how to ensure we get the most out of our shut-eye for the rest of 2023.

Since the beginning of human existence, we have had a relationship with the afterlife and those who reportedly inhabit it.
We tell stories of those spirits who aren't able to transition into the next life, spending their time tied to this one, haunting the people who remain, but there is an important role that telling ghost stories has on the psyche of humans.
Could the paranormal and supernatural give us perspective on our place in the universe?

It's Black Friday - the day where retailers all around the world slash their prices so we can snap up a bargain!
While you might be tempted to splash some cash today, there are others who are teaching themselves not to get sucked in by unnecessary purchases.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at how people are staring down a cost of living crisis with money saving ideas that we may not have considered and whether we might be able to learn a thing or two about watching how we spend our money, even on Black Friday.

There's an alarming new trend happening in schools across Australia, and it involved AI and porn.
Deep fake porn has escalated in American and now Australian high schools. Young boys, in particular, are using technology to make videos of their female classmates, posting them online and distributing them across the world.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the technology behind deep fakes, and how we can protect ourselves from it when it's used maliciously against us.

Over the weekend a young fan died while at a Taylor Swift concert in Rio. While her cause of death has not been revealed, much has been said about the fact that the heat index that day reached 59.3 degrees celsius.
Could this be yet another impact of climate change that we didn't fully comprehend, when attending a concert might just be too dangerous for our health?
In this episode of The Quicky we look at the unexpected ways in which climate change might impact us, and what is being done around the world to try and put a stop to it getting way too hot.

The selfie camera has gotten TOO good.
But isn't that what we want? Well, yes, to a point, but our front facing cameras, the ones we take all our selfies with, is no longer giving us the soft focus vibe we used to know and love.
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at whether the selfie camera is changing the way we see ourselves and whether it's really the camera, the phone itself or us that are perceiving the new pictures as worse than the old ones.

Hundreds of patients, including dozens of babies, have been trapped inside Gaza's largest hospital as Israeli troops and Hamas militants are fighting outside.
Claims of airstrikes have seen finger pointing from both sides, there are claims that Hamas is using it as a headquarters, and now, those trying to treat the sick, injured, pregnant and dying are struggling to do so without access to basic supplies.
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at why Al-Shifa hospital has become central in this war, and what happens next to the most vulnerable.

There's a form of elder abuse that's on the rise, and the NSW Ageing and Disability Commission think they know why.
"Inheritance Impatience" is the term being used to explain an increase in elder abuse as younger generations trying to get by are watching as their boomer parents continue to hold the majority of the country's wealth as their life expectancy continues to grow.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at whether money really is causing an increase in abuse in our elder generations.

Many people will claim to be a chocoholic or sugar addict, but can we really be addicted to food?
A new study has suggested that not only are some foods addictive, they can actually be just as addictive as alcohol and almost as addictive as some drugs.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what foods are getting under our skin so efficiently that we really can't live without them.

When OG Red Wiggle Murray Cook retired from performing along with his cast mates Greg and Jeff, many thought it would be the end of the children's entertainers.
But through reinvention, the introduction of the first girl Wiggle and now a diverse cast of men, women and different cultural backgrounds, the Wiggles have been able to evolve and keep the brand moving forward more than 30 years after their invention.
So are they immortal? Can the wiggles continue on indefinitely?
Original red Wiggle Murray Cook certainly hopes so

We often hear about toxic masculinity. And when discussing it, there's one man seemingly leading the virtual pack - Andrew Tate.
We have seen how he, and many like him, can have a direct impact on the way in which men view the women around them. But how do you stop this and teach them about positive masculinity?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the ways the Australian Government is planning to anti-Andrew Tate young Aussie men through the Healthy Masculinities Project, and how it's hoping to turn those young men from dangerous presence to positive partners.

Over the past few days, Israeli troops have moved into the heart of Gaza, surrounding Gaza City and giving those who remain amongst the rubble after almost a month of airstrikes, just a four hour window to leave before they move in.
Israel says they are there to annihilate Hamas, the militant terror group who launched the deadly attack on October 7.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at what will happen once this is all over? Will Israel take control of all Palestinian territory in Gaza? What will happen to those who call it home? And what does this mean for the region and the rest of the world?

Warning: This episode speaks of violence and suicide. Please take care when listening.
Last week 21 year old Lilie James was killed in a Sydney private school, her body found in the bathroom of the school's gym. Her killer is suspected to be 24 year old Paul Thijssen, a man she had dated.
This week the former headmaster of St Andrew's Cathedral School, where Lilie was a teacher and was killed, wrote a letter home to parents and students where he called Thijssen a "delight", "a fine student" and even a "role-model".
Too often we see and hear things like this said by men about men in their lives who have gone on to do unspeakable things to either their wives and partners, or their own children.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the 'Good Bloke Syndrome' and why it's time some men held a mirror up to their own behaviours to understand what is happening to the women of Australia.

It's the first Tuesday of November and that means, today is Melbourne Cup day.
And while for some it's a day to protest, or about the horses set to race for glory, for some it's all about the fashion.
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at the rules that govern what style, colour and even length of outfit you're allowed to wear throughout the Spring Carnival.

This years bushfire season is going to be the worst conditions since the 2019/2020 bushfire season.
So what can you practically do to prepare your home for this bushfire season? Do you need a bushfire action plan if you live in the suburbs or is that something only country folk need to consider? And how do you even know if you're in a bushfire prone area?

More and more Aussies are being duped by job scammers. Offers of large pay days, working from home and minimal hours, with an easy recruitment phase and little to no experience needed.
But what an increasing number of Australians are finding out, is that these job offers are actually scammers stealing from you.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what these scams look like and how you can make sure you don't fall victim to one too.

On Friday the United Nations general assembly overwhelmingly called for an "immediate, durable and sustainable humanitarian truce" between Israel and Hamas.
The motion, drafted by Jordan, had 120 nations voting in favour, 14, including the US and Israel voting no and 45 countries, including Australia, the UK and Canada abstaining from voting at all.
Why would our representatives not support a stop to the fighting to allow Gaza to receive medical aid, food and water?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at why Australia chose to step away, when 120 countries voted in favour of a truce, and why they believe the resolution was incomplete.

On Sunday October 29 in Australia, it was announced that actor Matthew Perry had passed away, found in his hot tub at his home in LA.
Perry was most known and loved for playing Chandler in the iconic sitcom Friends.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the life of this star and how being on one of the biggest tv shows of all time paled in comparison to the work he was doing offscreen.

Facebook groups and pages called 'Sis, Is This Your Man?' have been popping up all over the country. The members of these groups apparently trying to prevent others from wasting their time on, in their opinions, narcissists, cheaters and liars.
The groups are also being used by members to discover if their partners are being unfaithful.
But what are the legal implications of these groups? Can we really put it down to the sisterhood just looking out for each other, or is there something more sinister going on? And what about the men featured in these posts? Are they ruining their reputations?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the fine line between women seeking to protect themselves and defamation.

She was the princess of pop in the 90's and early 00's, before her life took a turn. You've seen the paparazzi photos of her shaving her head and attacking a car with an umbrella, the shots of her driving erratically with her baby on her lap.
In the past few years we've seen the #FreeBritney movement, begging for her release from a conservatorship run by her father. And lately, we see videos of her dancing in her home, some people label her unhinged, others say it's a cry for help.
Today, Britney's memoir, The Woman In Me, drops worldwide and in this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the enigma that is Britney Spears and why her story is one so many of us are desperate to know the truth behind the tabloids.

Australia's Indigenous leaders have now ended their week of silence following the Voice to Parliament referendum.
And while the nation may have failed to pass the constitutional change, the possibility remains for individual states and territories to take the lead.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at how states and territories are considering their unique approaches to the Voice To Parliament and treaty discussions. This exploration offers a glimpse of the nation's journey forward, following from a decision that has left some of us behind.

There is no argument that the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause can be tough, awful, annoying and downright terrible, but should we be letting the world know about the worst of the worst?
There are studies to suggest that catastrophising the symptoms of menopause could actually be making our experience with this stage of life worse, and silencing an entire cohort of women who don't experience these extremes at all.
The CEO of Jean Hailes talks us through the thought process behind asking us not to dive into the depths of the worst of menopause.

You've probably heard about 'The Mental Load', but have you ever wondered what it really is? And how it can impact your relationship?
While women recognise it, struggle with it and seemingly constantly trying to get others in their lives to even see it, we wonder if men are starting to feel the grasp of what it's been like for women to exist in this constant state of to-do list.
In this episode of The Quicky we talk to Maggie Dent, host of the new podcast The Good Enough Dad, to break down where we're at with the men in our lives when it comes to the invisible labour we find ourselves thinking about, as well as two men who are working hard to change the narrative.
If you'd like to see Josh and the Imperfects next year, please find all the details here.

It's now been 12 days since Hamas launched their deadly attack on Israel and the retaliation in Gaza shows no signs of easing.
As the civilian toll continues to rise, and the devastating impacts of this terror plot persist, discussions are underway regarding a possible ground offensive and involvement of neighbouring countries.
The pressing questions now are: What does this mean for the people in Gaza, where casualties are in the thousands? What about Israelis who have lost at least 1400 of their own? And who else might become involved in this conflict?
In this episode of The Quicky, we examine the potential developments as the fight for one of the most bitterly contested regions on Earth persists.

Is the classic 'happily ever after' monogamous setup really the only path to love and commitment? Ever wondered if there's another way to a healthy, happy relationship?
Dan Savage introduced us to 'monogamish' decades ago, and he believes it's high time to rethink our romantic standards. But does the thought of sharing your partner with anyone in any way bringing out strong feelings of betrayal?
In this episode of The Quicky we explore the world of monogamy versus monogamish. We speak to a relationship expert to see if this is the relationship revolution we need or if we should stick to the status quo.

In the end the Voice to Parliament referendum took just an hour and a half of counting to declare a definitive victory for the No campaign.
So where do we go from here? Can Anthony Albanese's Prime Ministership survive this loss? And where does this leave opposition leader and prominent no campaigner, Peter Dutton?
And now, as we all either celebrate or commiserate, where do Australia's First Nations pepple find themselves as the no vote sends a very clear message.

The news this week has shown us moments from a conflict that has shocked, disgusted and saddened us all regardless of whose side you align with.
As adults, we can make the decision to put our devices down and stop scrolling to shield ourselves from the horror being posted across all social media platforms, but for our kids, who have even worse impulse control than us, how do we stop kids from seeing these disturbing things.
In this episode of The Quicky we find out how to keep our kids safe from the harrowing content flooding our timelines.

America, are you okay?
With former President Donald Trump back in court, the government almost shutting down...again, the speaker being voted out...by his own people, and the Republicans fighting over whether or not they can even get enough support to have a meeting about impeaching President Biden, it seems the US government is having a rough time of late.
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at all of the concerns about the American Political system right now.

On the weekend, residents in Israel’s border towns were confronted by Hamas militants who rampaged through towns as they fired thousands of rockets into Israeli territory.
What has occurred in the hours and days after the start of this latest escalation has been brutal, shocking and sad, with many innocent women and children caught up in the conflict.
But while the war has begun again in earnest in this part of the world, and governments around the globe line up behind their chosen ally, the complexities of this struggle are again in the spotlight and leave many wondering if this was the only and inevitable outcome.

A few weeks ago Taylor Swift showed up at an NFL game to support her rumoured beau Travis Kelce. It launched a media frenzy with photos of the two of them going viral. A week later she showed up in the stands again, this time surrounded by some of her famous pals.
Though it seems some of the men are not happy with the Swiftie invasion of their sport.
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at why the men are upset and if there's a lesson in patriarchal influence to be had as two of the biggest names in their field decide to become Romeo and Juliet.

Just over a week ago, news broke that a tree in the north of England had been felled. The famous Sycamore Gap Tree was approximately 300 years old, and stood beside a section of the 1900 year old Hadrian's Wall, which the romans began constructing in 122 AD.
But who cut down the famous tree and why?
In this episode of The Quicky, we look into this intriguing crime to find out why this tree was so significant, and what might happen to it now.

When you think 90's supermodel you think of the big four, the OG's..Cindy, Christy, Linda and Naomi.
These four women were the first supermodels. They graced the pages of magazines, appeared in music videos...they were everywhere and everything.
And as a new documentary takes us behind the scenes and into the world's of these women, we've learnt they started as so many others did, as vulnerable young women at the mercy of a cut throat fashion industry.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the influence of the original supermodels and whether their brand of body image is any worse or better than those we see on our screens and runways today.

2023 has been a turbulent year for flying.
Between hundreds of people being stranded in Vanuatu last week because of technical issues. Qantas allegedly selling tickets for thousands of cancelled flights. And a lot of flight delays. There have been a lot of ongoing problems with flying around – and out of – Australia. And people are paying a lot of money for the privilege, with international airfares up by more than 50% from pre-pandemic levels.
With all of this in mind, you might be wondering how travellers are going to fare over the upcoming holiday period, and what you can do to try and ensure cheaper, smoother trips.
In this episode of The Quicky, we’re going to look at what has been happening in Australia’s aviation industry this year and what consumers can do to try and navigate the chaos.

In this episode of The Quicky, we’re going to look at what’s going on inside men’s heads when it comes to this Roman Empire question but more importantly, we’re going to talk about why women are so obsessed with asking this question to begin with.

Nearly five months ago, Hollywood writers went on strike, bringing the TV and movie industry to a standstill.
The Writers Guild of America, which represents more than 11,000 screenwriters, led the demands for better pay, staffing minimums and protections against AI on the work of writers.
Now, after a tentative deal was reached with entertainment companies over the weekend and accepted on Wednesday, writers are free to return to work this week. This has been one of the longest strikes in the Writer’s Guild’s history – so what has it achieved?
What does the deal outline? And what does all of this mean for us as TV and movie watchers for the rest of 2023?
Today we’re going to look at the writer’s strikes and what writers managed to negotiate for themselves after months of protesting.

Julian Assange has been one of the most divisive and talked-about figures of the past two decades. In 2006, Assange founded Wikileaks and came to international attention in 2010 after publishing a trove of leaked classified US military documents about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Alongside those documents Wikileaks published shocking footage that rippled around the world of a US airstrike in Baghdad in which an American crew shot down Iraqi civilians, including two staff working for Reuters news. For the publication of this classified information and other allegations, Assange has been a wanted man for many years.
Now, a large group of Australian politicians are joining forces to lobby the US government to stop their legal pursuit of Queensland-born Assange.
So, why after more than 10 years is this group of MPs stepping in now?
And will they succeed in finally bringing Assange home a free man?

Over the years we've seen some pretty interesting baby names, from Apple to North, even Pilot and Cricket. And then there's Elon Musk's son X Æ A-12 - supposedly pronounced 'Ash'.
But this week, Australian journalist Kirsten Drysdale made headlines after naming her newborn boy something seriously controversial: Methamphetamine Rules.
Drysdale was testing the limits of Australia’s Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages to see if the name could possibly be approved and to her surprise…it was.
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at the names you can and can't name your new bundle of joy, and just how Methamphetamine Rules slipped past the approvals.

Australia is closing in on the referendum that could change the constitution and establish an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament. The referendum is going to be held on Saturday October 14th, where Australians will be given the opportunity to vote on enshrining recognition of First Nations people in our constitution.
But while the idea of a First Nations body speaking directly to government might be a first for Australia, it’s far from a first for the world.
There are a number of other countries who have representative bodies and mechanisms built into their governments, some for a really long time, including in Aotearoa New Zealand. So, how do those systems work? And what lessons can we learn from them?
Today, we’re going to take a deep dive into how some countries have built First Nations recognition into their parliaments – and how effective they’ve been.

2023 has been the year of the celebrity breakup. Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn, Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez, and most recently, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas.
But have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of these relationship breakdowns? Who writes those 'shared statements' some chose to post on their Instagram - always declaring a mutual decision and promising to always love one another?
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look behind the curtain to see the machine that is the PR spin doctors, ensuring their clients look good during their most challenging times.

The goal of the new legislation is to ease pressures of Australia's housing crisis.

The case began in 2017 and had since been through a mistrial, character references from famous friends, accusations of pressure from the Church of Scientology.
In this episode of The Quicky, we unpack the Danny Masterson case from start to finish.

Last week an inquiry began in NSW, with tearful evidence from a woman named Naomi Bowden, who recalled the treatment she received at Wollongong Hospital after the stillbirth of her baby Bella more than a decade ago.
In her written submission, she had described how she felt when police took her baby’s body from her after being forced to identify her newborn, how the baby had been placed on her chest floppy, white and unresponsive despite what had appeared to be a textbook pregnancy, how weeks later at an appointment, staff questioned her about where her baby was, overworked nurses not having the time to read through her notes.
This is the first of thousands of submissions to the inquiry regarding a phenomena known as birth trauma, sometimes referred to as obstetric violence or obstetric rape, where women have had experiences during labour that have left them scarred physically, mentally and emotionally.
Today, the Quicky team looks at how this inquiry hopes to change things and how the truth telling will not be easy.

One year ago, the world woke to the news of Queen Elizabeth's death.
In the aftermath, there was speculation about the potential repercussions. Some predicted that this could mark the beginning of the end for the British monarchy. Others said it might serve as a catalyst to establish a republic in Australia and that other Commonwealth countries might also pursue their independence.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the past 365 days with King Charles on the throne, whether his reign has had a positive or negative impact on the Royal Family and what the experts think will happen next.

50 years ago a woman was taken hostage in a bank and had her life under threat for 6 full days. When she was finally released with her fellow hostages she was acting differently to the way many thought she should.
She was angry at police for putting her life in danger during negotiations. This led to a term that remains controversial to this day...Stockholm Syndrome.
In this episode of The Quicky, we find out if Stockholm Syndrome actually exists and what happens to someone who finds themselves threatened and at the same time befriending the person who has put them in harms way.

The Burning Man Festival in the US is known for its barren, dry landscape, the outrageous outfits and art, and now, pouring rain that has turned the dusty ancient lake floor, into a sticky, muddy, mess.
But while the festival attendees are waiting to see when they will be allowed to dig out their vehicles and get out of there, rumours are spreading that a deadly disease is making its way through the makeshift city.
Today we look into the conspiracy theories doing the rounds at Burning Man and how they have managed to spread like wildfire, even in the rain.

A few months ago, an Australian woman underwent brain surgery. What the surgeons discovered was a world first...a parasite living in her brain.
So how does a parasitic worm end up in your brain? The experts say it came from a carpet python, but she'd never been in contact with one.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at exactly how this worm ended up living and infecting a human brain and find out whether we need to be concerned about another case of animal to human transfer.

On Wednesday we saw the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese officially announce the date Aussies will head to the polls to vote on The Voice To Parliament.
The Voice discussion has left many Australians confused. What does it do? What can it potentially become? Will it make a difference? Why do so many First Nations people oppose it?
In this episode of The Quicky we speak to the Prime Minister himself to see if we can finally get clarification on the questions we've been wanting to know about The Voice To Parliament.

This week, outgoing Qantas boss Alan Joyce and Jetstar CEO Steph Tully were questioned by a Senate enquiry about the Australian airline market, skyrocketing airfares, flight cancellations and unused pandemic credits.
We learned that Qantas and Jetstar were holding on to close to $500 million of our unused flight credits, that all have an expiration of December 31 this year.
In this episode of The Quicky we find out why airfares are still so high, and just why haven't we all cashed in our flight credits.
For more information on how to use your Qantas credits, Jetstar credits or Virgin credits.

Late last week India celebrated as it became the fourth country to land on the moon.
It was an unmanned mission, with two robots deploying onto the moons surface. But it's the where and why that's raising some questions. India landed on the moon's rocky south pole - the first nation to do so, to study orbit, atmosphere and resources like lunar ice.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the moon, what’s on it, and why space agencies around the world are racing to get there first.

Bradley Cooper has caused some controversy this week. The trailer for his latest movie Maestro, where he plays the famous conductor Leonard Berstein, showcases Cooper wearing a prosthetic nose in a bid to make him appear more like Bernstein...or, as many people have complained, more jewish.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at why people are so outraged by the choice to give Cooper prosthetics and where we should be drawing the line when it comes to actors playing characters from minority groups that they don't belong to.

You've probably come across a child influencer or two while scrolling through social media. Some have millions of followers...and in that world, followers usually equals money.
But where is the money these children earn actually going?
A new law was passed in the US this week to protect child influencers and ensure kids featured in social media videos are paid for their influencing work.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at those laws to see if our Aussie influencer kids are also being adequately protected.

Last week we watched on as fires wiped out parts of the Hawaiian island of Maui.
For many Aussies, it brought back memories of our own wild fires in the Summer of 2019 and 2020. And just like the situation we found ourselves in back then, there are mixed messages about whether tourists should be visiting and spending their money in a community that desperately needs it, or if they should be staying away to let those communities heal.
In this episode of The Quicky, we find out of travel to Hawaii should be suspended or if tourist dollars can go some way to helping a community rebuild after tragedy.

The Kardashians have been spruiking something. Something that most of us couldn't dream of affording and it has left doctors questioning.
Recently Kim Kardashian posted on her Instagram a photo of her in front of a full body scan machine. The same machine was seen in a recent episode of The Kardashians reality show, where mum Kris Jenner, underwent the scan. But what does it do? And how much does it cost?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the full body scans, the cost, and whether or not its the way forward for our health.

Tonight, the Matilda's are hoping to take another step forward on their record breaking journey through this Women's World Cup.
There is a squad of 23 women who suit up for the matches, but there is also a group of women who came close to being a part of it, only to be cut at the final stage and forced to watch on from the sidelines.
In this episode of The Quicky we speak to Chloe Logarzo about what it's like to watch on as her teammates and friends make history knowing you were so close to being part of the fairytale.

The contraceptive pill. Its job is to stop unwanted pregnancies. But did you know there's a huge variety of options for what brand and type of pill you can take?
But when you look at the list of oral contraceptives on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme there's quite a few of those available in Australia not on it, in fact, most of the contraceptive pills available here in Australia are not on the PBS.
In this episode of The Quicky, we find out why some contraceptive pills have been allowed on the list, and why the new generation of the pill are not, and whether that will be changing anytime soon.

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are fighting. Like actual fighting.
With one challenging the other to a cage fight, there's been an escalation that might see the billionaires enter the UFC octagon for real.
If you're wondering why, you're not alone.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the motivation for these two men to continue publicly baiting each other for a fight, and whether it might be nothing more than a good old fashioned PR stunt.

53 years ago this week, a little orca, just 4 years old, was captured by humans in Puget Sound, off the coast of Washington State and transferred to Miami Seaquarium.
For the past 5 decades the orca, known as Tokitae, formally known as her stage name Lolita, has lived in a tiny tank and forced to perform for the public 3 times a day for almost 45 years. She was retired from these shows in March last year after suffering from some health issues.
After years of protesters calling for her release, it seems those dreams may be coming true as soon as next year.
In this episode of The Quicky we find out how a billionaire, a group of friends and a new owner are working to free one of the oldest captive orcas into open water and how she may still have the chance to reunite with her family.

Joe Biden is 80 years old and for the first time in history, the U.S has an octogenarian President.
You'd think that would make him the oldest among his Political colleagues in Washington right? But no.
In the past few weeks some of the elder statesmen and women of the capital have been showing their age and have left many wondering, how old is too old to run a country?
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what is known as Gerontocracy, where the older generations control the politics and the power and whether there should be a maximum age limit in Government.

The Victorian government recently began it’s plan to phase out gas in the state’s homes by announcing they were banning any new gas connections to newly built homes starting from January next year.
But why have we turned on gas? it used to be sold to us as the more affordable and more environmentally friendly option to electricity, and does this Victorian move mean the rest of the country is about to follow suit?
Today we look at what it will mean for Aussies to try and remove gas from our lives, and what happens in our kitchens and lounge rooms as a result.

Did you see the moon last night? Big and glowy, lighting up the sky.
It was a supermoon, and it won't be the last one we see this month. August is set to be a big month for moon watchers with two lunar events occurring. The supermoon we witnessed last night, and later this month, a blue moon.
We know the moon changes the tides, but what else can it do?
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at how the moon cycle influences our moods and behaviours...can we really blame the moon for our craziness?

This week we heard the Australian housing market continued its growth in July. But while house prices are still going up, they're not going up as fast as they have been, and it could be due to a group of Aussies who have just fully realised the impact of all these rate rises. Experts have raised concerns about the potential effects on property values, housing affordability, and overall financial stability.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at how those who have just, or are just about to fall off the mortgage cliff can halt the fall and what it means for the housing market.

Australia loves soft drink, but with growing concerns around our health, doctors are calling for a sugar tax.
But what exactly is a sugar tax? Would it impact all food items that contain sugar, or just soft drinks? And does it actually work to motivate people into choosing healthier options when perusing the supermarket aisles.
In this episode of The Quicky, we explore the concept of a Sugar Tax in Australia and find out where that money goes once it's in the governments hands.

On Friday, the UN claimed that the era of global warming was over, that now, we have entered a new phase of climate change - global boiling.
The evidence is clear, the world is getting hotter and with wildfires now forcing people to flee parts of Greece while also threatening several other European countries, those places we flock to during Australia’s colder months are starting to look like they may not be the ideal escape in the future.
We look at where our European and Australian Summer holidays are headed as the UN tells us climate change isn't on the horizon... it’s here

Twitter is dead...no, not literally, the website and app are still alive and well, but it's not called Twitter anymore. And the little blue bird is gone. New owner, millionaire Elon Musk, has rebranded it as X.
The response has been varied. Some say it brings the social media platform into line with his other businesses and makes it completely his...others say it's the final nail in the coffin and have found the exit door.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what the hell is happening at Twitter...I mean X, headquarters and why this might be more than just a new logo.

When July 1 comes around, many Australians get a little excited for a boost in their bank accounts in the form of a tax return.
But this year is a little different for many of us. This year, a crucial tax factor is missing, one that 10 million of us have been enjoying since 2019.
In this episode of The Quicky, we find out who this tax change will impact and other ways in which you might end up having to negotiate a payment plan with the ATO this financial year.

Everywhere you turn right now, it's almost certain that you will see the colour pink. It's in our stores, on our social media pages and our TV's, all in celebration for a doll, well actually a movie about a doll, that for years we were told was doing young women a disservice.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the powerhouse that is the marketing campaign of the Barbie movie. How they took a toy that had seen a decline in sales and relaunched it to become a best seller. And whether confronting your products faults can go anyway to absolving them of their past mistakes.

There's a new wave on 'skinfluencers' hitting our social media pages of late and one of those posting is 11 year old Pixie Curtis.
In videos and photos posted to her Instagram, the tween is often seen boasting about her luxury items, from haircare, fashion and even cars. She's also posted shopping hauls showcasing a number of beauty products and skin care that has some people concerned she may actually be damaging her skin.
With the rise and influence of social media, younger and younger Aussies are getting into skincare routines - but how do we know what's safe?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to our resident beauty expert Leigh Campbell about exactly what damage these tween skinfluencers may be doing to their delicate skin.

A recent ABC Four Corners report highlighted the difficulty some young Australians face in securing gender affirming care.
With long waitlists and gender distress growing, some are concerned a culture war over this type of care is interrupting a much needed service.
So what exactly does this care entail? And why is it dividing not just public opinion but the medical profession too

Michele Bullock, an RBA employee for nearly 40 years, was announced on Friday as the new Reserve Bank of Australia Governor, taking over from Phillip Lowe, whose reputation has taken a blow over promises on interest rate rises that left many scrambling when they occurred earlier than expected.
Will her appointment be a success story for women breaking through the glass ceiling, or is the timing of this promotion, amid a cost of living crisis and the bank having to constantly increase the cash rate, setting her up for failure?

Last week the Royal Commission into the Robodebt scandal handed down its findings.
But not all of the report was made public. The scheme was labelled "cruel and crude"...so why the secrecy around who will be facing criminal charges?
In this episode of The Quicky we take a deeper look at the Robodebt Royal Commission, what it discovered and whether it goes any way to giving those who were impacted a sense of closure.

Last Monday the global temperature reached 17.01 degrees celsius, breaking a record. Then, the very next day, it broke a record again reaching 17.18 degrees celsius.
Now those numbers might seem surprising given how high the mercury reaches here in Australia during the summer months, but for climate scientists, it's a milestone that many hoped we wouldn't reach so soon.
Right before the records fell, the UN also confirmed that El Niño is back, set to bring drought and scorching temperatures.
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at what this means for Australia as we brace for another hot dry summer.

Earlier this week we heard the news that Australia had recorded another case of an athlete suffering from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). The thing that made this case unique was that it was a female athlete that was diagnosed.
The story of Adelaide Crows AFLW Premiership player Heather Anderson has a tragic ending, but could her death start a conversation that has so far only focussed on men in sport?
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what this landmark case means for women in sport and if there's anything we can do to protect us from damaging our brains when we're enjoying the sports we love.

Recent headlines have been buzzing with claims that the artificial sweetener, Aspartame, which can be found in diet soft drinks may be linked to cancer.
For decades, Aspartame has been widely used in low or no sugar products available in supermarkets. However, an upcoming report, could potentially alter our perception of this popular sweetener.
In this episode of The Quicky, we break down whether diet drinks are causing cancer and how concerned we need to be about consuming them.

The Reserve Bank of Australia will meet tomorrow to decide if inflation has started to come down enough to not call for another rate rise or at least leave them on hold for this month.
But while we were delivered seemingly good news about inflation recently, the numbers aren’t exactly what they seem and that will play a big factor in whether home and business owners will be expected to fork out even more when it comes to mortgage payment time.
Today we’re speaking to economist Richard Holden about the chances of yet another rate rise.

Taylor Swift has broken the internet...again.
This week tickets to her five Australian shows have been on pre-sale and it was pandemonium with over 800,000 Swifties trying to fulfil their wildest dreams to see the pop star perform live.
In this episode of The Quicky, we'll take a look at the issues people are running into, what lessons we can learn from this for future gigs and what Taylor Swift has (accidentally) taught us about how ticket sales systems should be improved.

We've heard all the parenting terms...helicopter, hands-off, gentle, authoritative, the list goes on and on.
But with so many styles of parenting nowadays, how do you choose which one is the right one?
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at the parenting styles of the past to see which generation nailed it and who's still struggling with the fall out of their own parental guidance.

Do you use your pets name, kids birthdays or favourite sporting team in your passwords? Chances are you do, and it turns out you're not alone.
And it's not only that. New research shows that we also love to use the same password for multiple accounts, only making it easier to hack into our precious digital lives.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to an expert to find out how to manage the hundreds of passwords we now require.

Over the weekend, we watched as Russia teetered on the brink of civil war, capturing the world's attention. We woke up Sunday to an unexpected turn of events involving a deal with Belarus. But what happened in the lead up to that deal...and what does it mean?
In this episode of The Quicky, we're breaking down exactly what happened and where Russian President Putin stands now with the war in Ukraine, after his own man told the Russian people that the reasons behind the conflict are all a lie.

When Kathleen Folbigg was jailed in 2003 John Howard was the Prime Minister, MySpace was emerging as a new social network and iPhone's were still four years away from launching.
Walked out of jail just over two weeks ago, she faced a world full of unfamiliar things.
On her first night of freedom, she ate pizza and drank something that was popular when she went to jail: Kahlua and Coke. But now that the rush of being free has subsided and the reality of life on the outside kicks in, what will life be like?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a man who also spent time behind bars for a crime he didn't commit, and find out what life after prison is really like.

Earlier this week the legislation that will allow Australians to vote on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament was passed, ending months of debate. All we need now is Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to set a date for Aussies to head to the polls and vote.
In the past few months we've heard arguments from both the 'yes' and 'no' camps. And amongst those, we've heard all kinds of conspiracies about just what The Voice will have the power to do.
In this episode of The Quicky we're going to bust some myths surrounding The Voice to Parliament.

It seems like every month brings a new court case against Donald Trump.
Right now, he's facing 34 criminal charges in Manhattan including falsifying business records and 37 charges in a Miami court for taking classified documents from the White House. So far only the civil case against him has given any results, and that holds no criminal weight allowing Trump to walk free despite a court finding him guilty of sexually assaulting E Jean Carrol in a change room in the 90's.
So the question still remains, what court action can stop him from becoming President once again?
In this episode of The Quicky we find out there's only one thing stopping Trump from taking office and it's nothing that can be influenced by a judge or a jury.

Ozempic. I'm sure you've heard of it by now.
It's dominated the conversation around weight loss, celebrities have been called out for lying about using it, and others scolded for taking up a valuable resource for weight loss when diabetics rely on it. But we can't ignore the facts...Ozempic is working.
In this episode of The Quicky we speak to a doctor about the health impacts of a drug like Ozempic and how it could be changing the narrative around body image for everyone.

On Sunday night a group of 35 wedding guests boarded a bus back to their accommodation after enjoying a night with their friends at a wedding in the New South Wales Hunter Valley.
Police are still trying to piece together exactly what happened next.
The crash has taken the lives of ten people, while others are fighting for theirs in hospital.
While the survivors and community try to come to terms with what has happened, another group will be fighting against trauma they've witnessed...the first responders.
In this episode of The Quicky, we find out what it's like to get the call to something like that crash, the training involved to be able to put all emotions aside to save others, and the ways in which that trauma can return years after the site is cleared.

Do you remember being asked what you wanted to be when you grow up? Some kids might say fire fighter, doctor or teacher and some will say they dream of one day heading out to space as an astronaut.
But fast forward 20 years or so and very few of those dreams become a reality...except for in this case, the dream for one of those kids is becoming a reality.
Katherine Bennell-Pegg has just recently started training to become the first Australian to go to space with our flag on her uniform.
In this episode of The Quicky we find out what it takes to become a real life astronaut. What Katherine still has to overcome and what it feels like to be heading out of this world.

Do you track your significant others?
For more than a decade now, we've had access to GPS technology that only seemed to exist in movies, but in 2023 it's easy to track someone's phone with or without their knowledge and permission. We can even throw a device into someone's pocket, wallet or car to keep tabs on someone's location.
For some it feels a bit creepy, for others it strays into coercive control, and for some it's peace of mind.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the ins and outs of tracking our significant others, is it healthy or harmful?

Last week justice Anthony Besanko found in favour of three newspapers when he decided that claims they made about former SAS soldier Ben Roberts-Smith being a war criminal, were mostly true.
So now that a judge in a civil trial has found that to be true, could this lead to a criminal conviction too?
Today we look at the case that has brought the Victoria Cross medal winner undone and what that means for him and others in the SAS who have been accused of the same.

The cost of living crisis is really biting hard as we hit the 6 month mark of 2023.
Grocery prices, rents, interest rates, fuel prices...everything is going up and up and up.
For many Aussies, even those who are employed and earning a wage that, until recently, was able to cover their basic living costs, the current economic climate is stretching their budgets incredibly thin.
So amongst the doom and gloom from economists and financial experts, can anyone put a positive spin on the cost of living crisis?
In this episode of The Quicky we speak to money influencers to find out what they know that we don't about making the most of our money in 2023.

In a noticeable trend of 2023, yet another man in a high-profile job has made the decision to step away.
From football coaches to television hosts, politicians, and players, these men are choosing to step away over the relentless pursuit of professional success at the expense of their personal lives.
Have men realised that they too can't have it all?
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the challenges facing Aussie men in 2023 as traditional gender roles continue to shift and evolve and the significance of these high-profile resignations and how they may pave the way for more men to seek a balance between their work and personal lives.

While many Aussies have grown accustomed to the comfort and convenience of working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, some employers are now urging, or even demanding, their staff to return to the office.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the debate between returning to the office and embracing remote work. We look at why employers want us back at our desks, is it all about making sure that expensive real estate doesn't go to waste, or is there a real argument to getting us back amongst our colleagues?

Do you remember when we all queued up to roll up our sleeves to receive the COVID-19 vaccination? We made a commitment to getting the shot, not just to protect ourselves from the impacts of the virus, but also to safeguard our family, friends and strangers around us.
Recently, however, our motivation to get vaccinated has definitely waned. As a result, we are now confronting not only a fifth wave of COVID-19, but also its companions...two other viruses.
In this episode of The Quicky we explore what challenges await us this winter and why we need to address the presence of three viruses during the colder months.

During the week a 95 year old woman, suffering with dementia, was tasered by police in her nursing home. The whole country was shocked.
Now there are questions. Questions about what's going to happen go the officer involved. Questions surrounding the conduct of police. Questions about what happens now that a family had to say goodbye to their beloved gran.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a former magistrate about whether he's seen anything like this in his career and what we should learn about how Australia treats its ageing population and how police should be accountable for their actions.

Stan Grant says he always dreamed of being a journalist. And last week he walked away from his dream after facing a systemic racism and vitriol thrown at him.
It's not a new thing. Adam Goodes and Yassmin Abdel-Magied have also experienced overwhelming hate, leading to the pair both stepping away from the spotlight.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at what happened to Stan Grant, how his employer handled a wave of racist trolling and how every Australian is part of the problem...and can be part of the solution.

Nitrous Oxide, commonly known by various names such as laughing gas, cream whips, hippy crack, nos, whippits, or nangs, is a gas that induces a short-lasting euphoric high lasting around 30 seconds. Due to its accessibility, it has gained massive popularity as a recreational drug among Aussie teens.
And while there are a growing number of Australians using the gas, some are discovering that it can result in severe consequences.
Teenager Molly Day is now facing the harsh reality that she may never walk again after developing an addiction to this substance.
In this episode of The Quicky, we delve into the realm of Nitrous Oxide to explore whether this readily available drug truly provides the safe and enjoyable high that many individuals perceive it to be.

The new Labor Government promised to reduce emissions by 43% by 2030...but last week, Australia's Environmental Minister Tanya Plibersek, green lit a new coal mine in central Queensland, the first to be approved under the new government.
Considering our awareness of the detrimental impacts of coal and its contribution to global warming, it raises the question of why, in 2023, we are still granting approval for new coal mines?
In this episode of The Quicky, we find out what went down in Isaac River and why the environment minister said yes, when the majority of Aussies said no.

In this episode of The Quicky, we delve into the costs and benefits of hosting the world's largest women's sporting event, examining whether the rewards will outweigh the expenses in the long run.

We already know that being sexually abused and harassed by your colleagues is against the law. But as we've been finding out in recent years, there are some industries where these behaviours are left unchecked.
This week, one of the court cases linked to sexual assaults in Australia's mine sites ended with a guilty verdict.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what this means for others who are still fighting for justice and whether the reviews, inquiries and guilty findings have done anything to change the culture where we dig up the ground.

A few weeks ago the news broke that Taylor Swift had broken up with long term partner, Joe Alwyn...not long after, the rumour mill was spinning stories of a multitude of men Taylor was apparently dating, one being lead singer of the 1975, Matty Healey.
Taylor Swift is one of a string of celebrities who we can't seem to allow to just be single. Jennifer Anniston, Emma Watson, Mindy Kaling, just to name a few. We are constantly monitoring these ladies to see if they have finally paired off in a way that suits us.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at why there are certain stars we just can't accept being single and why people are so invested in the romantic lives of Hollywood.

Have you heard of 'Birth Control Tik Tok?' It's the side of TikTok showing influencers promoting "natural" birth control and encouraging women to stop taking hormonal contraceptives.
There's varying degrees of scientific accuracy in their claims - and theories that they are playing into the global shift towards right wing politics that is starting to limit women's control over their own bodies.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look into why some people are demonising the pill and if hormonal contraception is really the enemy.

At what age did you start to achieve those milestones that would be a confirmed step into adulthood?
Things like getting your first full time job, getting your drivers license or having your first real relationship?
A new concept claims that today's emerging adults are delaying some or all of those traditional adult achievements by adopting what's called a 'slow life strategy'.
In this episode of The Quicky, we're looking at the shift in how we view the age at which we should be getting on with our adult lives.

Last week, Federal MP Monique Ryan’s former chief of staff Sally Rugg, settled a case out of court that many had hoped would shed some light on the wording we all probably have a version of in our own current employment contracts
What is considered reasonable additional hours?
Today we find out how a plane ride, a case of covid, a decision by the prime minister and one comment, almost led to us getting clarity on a vague term in almost all of our employment contracts regarding overtime.

The relationship women have had with their pubic hair over the centuries varies depending on culture, fashion or the movement of the time. But we know, in 2023, the majority of you don't have any at all, choosing to wax, shave or laser it away.
But, what if being bald between your legs isn't the healthiest choice? Did you know pubic hair actually has a purpose?
In this episode of The Quicky, we find out if we are doing out lady gardens a disservice by going bare down there, and, if we have, what can we do to support a healthy and happy vulva.

When Queen Elizabeth passed away last year, her first son, Charles, was immediately elevated from The Prince of Wales to The King. Now after a transition period of eight months in the making, Charles will officially be crowned this weekend at the Coronation.
While most of us have never actually lived through a coronation, we do know a few things about it.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at what the coronation involves, what changes from here, what does it mean for the future of the Monarchy and as Australians, is it a moment of reflection on the relevancy of our place within in?

Joe Biden has recently announced that he will indeed be running for reelection in the 2024 US election. If he wins, he will again be the oldest President elected to office at 82 years old.
After the 2020 election, it was widely assumed Vice President Kamala Harris, who was the first woman to hold the job, would be ready to step up for the next election. But what happened?
In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at how old is too old to run for President and why Kamala's popularity has been on the decline since taking office.

Student HECS debts are about to rise, with the biggest indexation increase in over thirty years. It means for some, the debt will be increasing at a rate higher than they're able to pay it back.
While thousands of Australians will be affected, and with the cost of living rapidly increasing, what does it mean for our financial futures?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the things affecting our borrowing power preventing Aussies from getting a home loan.

When 23 year old Bella Fidler went on a girls trip to Bali last December, she thought everything would be fine. They'd lay by the pool, drink cocktails & make memories to last a lifetime.
But instead, when they flew home, Bella and her friends had no idea about the unwelcome stowaway coming back with them. Bella contracted a deadly disease from the island paradise and upon returning home she walked into a Gold Coast hospital...and never left.

Hackers...we've all heard of the many different ways they attempt to steal our money, identity or personal information. Recently a hacker claimed Australians are the easiest targets in the world when it comes to taking our money - and the records aren't proving them wrong.
Australia was scammed out of more than $3 billion last year alone.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look into the ways scammers are singling us out and how we can be smarter than the people infiltrating our finances and personal details on our phones, email, text or even sometimes in person.

Have you thought about what you want to happen to your body after you die?
There's plenty of options for you, from cremation to burial, you can even become a tree if that's what you wish.
China is now running out of land for cemeteries and turning to burials at sea - but just how environmentally friendly is this?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the most environmentally efficient ways to deal with our earthly remains after we pass, while also not just shifting the eco damage somewhere else.

It's estimated that Aussies lost over $25 billion gambling in 2018-2019.
In this episode of The Quicky we look at how Aussies are being groomed form a very young age to gamble and hear from women who lost everything because of the addiction.

A recent episode of the iconic kids ABC show Bluey, has upset some parents.
There are claims of body shaming, fat shaming and poor behaviour modelling for kids.
It has raised the question about how we discuss weight in front of and with our kids, so that they are aware of the health implications of being overweight while also making sure they know that weight isn’t always an indicator of a person’s health.
So how do we talk weight, weight loss and health with our kids and ourselves in 2023

It's well known that Aussies make up the largest cohort of nationalities in Bali at any one time...aside from Indonesians of course. We jest that the island paradise is essentially another Australian post code. But since early last year, another country has been represented in higher numbers on the island paradise...and it has some locals offside.
Since the invasion of Ukraine started, Russians have been fleeing their native land with many heading to Australia's favourite holiday destination.
In this episode of The Quicky we'll take a look at why Russians are fleeing to Bali and why some of their behaviour has some locals calling for them to be sent home.

Today is April 20, a day that cannabis producers, consumers and advocates will come together to celebrate marijuana.
It's a national day for cannabis culture in the US, and many are saying it's time Australia follow the lead of many American states and legalise marijuana for recreational purposes.
But there are some who are concerned that this will open up the door for misuse and that it will end up having impacts on those who partake.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the pros and cons of cannabis use and whether legalising it has created a monster or a pathway for relief.

To say things are a little tight at the moment might be a bit of an understatement.
With rent, groceries, and just about everything else is now more expensive, how do we help ourselves when the cost of everything is going up? How can we make a difference to our savings accounts when so much more is going out while not a heck of a lot is coming in?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to people about their tips and tricks to make ends meet and a financial expert who can find out how we can start making every dollar count.

In 1993 Paul Denyer murdered three women. He was nicknamed the Frankston Killer.
While he was caught and brought to justice, his 30 year parole period has now come to an end, leaving the families of his victims devastated and those in the community again fearful for their safety, much like they were in 1993.
In this episode of The Quicky we find out why so many people say the man who took the lives of Natalie Russel, Elizabeth Stevens and Deborah Fream, shouldn't get parole, and why many believe Denyer will kill again.

In case you didn't already know, the 90's are making a comeback. Everything that was once old, is new again, or revisited, reimagined or remade.
But why, in 2023, are we so keen to live in the past? Are we trying to escape the world we exist in now? Or is it simply that we find comfort in the familiarity of 90's nostalgia?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at nostalgia, what it is, what it does to us and whether it can be taken too far.

Fentanyl is described as one of the deadliest opioids in the world, and on Friday we found out that's what killed Gangsta's Paradise rapper Coolio.
With Fentanyl now an epidemic in the US, there are fears the drug may make its way down to our shores with border police already intercepting a major shipment, the equivalent of more than 5 million fatal doses.
In this episode of The Quicky we find out what makes it so deadly, and why Fentanyl is being touted as worse than heroin as overdose deaths climb.

Mainland Australia is now held exclusively by Labor governments, with only Tasmania representing the Liberal Party at all in this country in 2023. A far cry from the dominance the Liberals held in 2019.
So as yet another Liberal party member resigns over the decision not to support the Voice To Parliament, are the Liberals putting themselves further out into election wilderness?
In this episode of The Quicky, we find out what's poisoning the Liberal party pool and how they can hope to come back from relative obscurity.

Squatter...Just the word itself conjures up a stereotypical image of a dirty person looking to inhabit a property. But the laws around squatters rights are more complex than simply someone who refuses to move out of your house.
With rental markets getting tighter, and people are facing the harsh reality of losing their homes at the end of their fixed rate mortgages, there are concerns more Australians will turn to squatting rather than face the alternatives.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at Australia's history of squatting and the rights of both the squatter and the property owner.

We've been hearing for weeks now that the arrest of Former President Donald Trump was imminent and yesterday, those rumours finally became reality for the former President appearing before the court in New York.
He's been formally charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
Of course, Trump has called it 'Political Persecution' and has called on his followers to protest. So now we're left wondering how this whole thing is going to play out, after all, no former President has ever faced criminal charges before.
In this episode of The Quicky, we find out what happens to a former President facing jail time and what this means for his campaign to become President once again.

Kids across the country are obsessed with Prime Energy Drink which has recently made it way to Australian shores.
The interest in the drink has parents, schools and health experts concerned with the impact it could have on Aussie kids health, while adults are behaving badly in their attempts to get a hold of a bottle.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a dietician to see just how bad this actually is for kids, and we hear from kids on why they can't get enough.

We all know Aussies love their animals, but did you know there are more pets than humans in Australia?
Most of us would do anything for our fur babies, but when it comes to our interactions with the vet, sometimes our behaviour is completely inexcusable.
Vets are in short supply, they're experiencing burnout, copping abuse, and sometimes the pressures of their career is pushing them into very dark spaces.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a vet who tells us her and her colleagues are struggling and what can be done to help them.

Remember when you and your partner moved in together? How exciting it was to set up house like you're in a real adult, grown up relationship?
Fast forward in time when the sparkle of all that newness has been replaced by the day to day realities of life, housework, parenting, bill paying... all the things that take the sexiness out of togetherness and suddenly you look at your partner and wonder, are we more like roommates now than lovers?
Today we look into the curse of roommate syndrome and find out how we can turn it back from domestic to romantic.

Earlier this month, the locals in Menindee woke up to discover millions of fish had died in their neck of the Darling Baaka River. And it's not the first time this has happened.
So what's causing fish to die by the millions this time? Last time it was blamed on the drought, but there's no drought now? So what is it? And what impact does it have on the locals living there?
In this episode of The Quicky, we find out if our river systems are sick and what can be done to nurse them back to health.

Earlier this week 6 people, including 3 children, were murdered when someone opened fire in a school in Nashville.
Australian actress Tammin Sursok lives in Nashville and received a call that no parent would ever wish to answer. Her daughter's school was in lockdown because there was an active shooter.
In this episode of The Quicky we speak to Tammin about what that moment was like, and if anything can be done to reverse Americas obsession with the second amendment.

Since it first aired, the hit TV show Succession - which follows the internal power struggles of a rich family and their media empire - has had people speculating over whether the show is based on the Australian media moguls, the Murdochs.
But just how much of the script is actually based on the Murdoch family? The final season begins tonight, fans hoping to finally see how this power hungry family pans out and who will end up controlling Waystar Royco.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Paddy Manning, a journalist who has covered the Murdoch family for decades to find out where the real life Murdochs and fictional Roy family's lives align. What will happen when Rupert marries for the fifth 'and final' time? And what happens when the family patriarch dies?

We've been hearing a lot about anti trans rallies happening around the country this week.
A British Women's Rights activist has been holding speaking engagements outside Parliament Houses, attracting groups aligned with the material she's sharing. In Melbourne, Neo-Nazi's showed up and shared the space with a local Liberal MP.
So who is this activist? Are her words about spreading hate? Or does she really want to make spaces safer for women?
In this episode of The Quicky we speak to trans non-binary activist and Deni Todorovič about how they feel being at the centre of an anti trans storm.

Right now, it's Harmony Week here in Australia, and March 21 marks Harmony Day, a day where businesses, schools and organisations are told to wear orange in celebration of Australia's recognition of diversity and multiculturalism.
The federal government's website labels it as a day which celebrates "our diversity, and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds".
But March 21 is not recognised as 'Harmony Day' anywhere else in the world. In fact, it's observed as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the dark origins of March 21.

Egg donation. It's a life-changing gift. In Australia it is illegal to pay a woman to donate her eggs but some women, like Stefania, do it out of the kindness of their heart. The only problem is, Stefania's husband isn't keen on her doing it.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Stefania about why she wants to donate her eggs. We also speak to a family creation lawyer about what she can legally do.

The US is in a 'banking crisis' with a number of banks going bust and potentially hundreds more on shaky ground. The same has also been happening in Europe over the past few weeks.
It's got us wondering, with the global financial systems now being so much more interconnected, could that happen here in Australia?
In todays episode we speak to an expert to find out the likelihood of one of our big four going under, and what would happen if they did.

If you're in New South Wales you're probably aware that there's an election coming up in a week's time.
Running in that election is current Premier Dominic Perrottet, hopeful to be re-elected.
In this bonus episode of The Quicky, we sit down with the Premier and his wife to talk about where they stand on a woman's right to safe pregnancy termination, how politics expects to attract more women when they continually prove the job has a terrible work-life balance and why people are so obsessed with the fact they have seven kids.

Australians will soon be asked to vote in a referendum to constitutionally recognise Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people through a First Nations Voice to Parliament.
There's been a great divide since Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced his plan for the Voice. The political debate has those who say the is the change we've needed, and others saying it's not necessary and we already have a version of this in place.
In this episode of The Quicky, we answer the questions you have about the Voice to Parliament.

Since November last year between 800-1200 schoolgirls across Iran have been falling ill.
It's a terrifying crisis, and one who don't have answers for yet. There are theories as to why this is happening, from targeted attacks, to mass hysteria. But under it all, is a fear that this is retribution for daring to speak out against the regime.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look into this mysterious case of mass poisoning, and the fear it will end a generation of women's education.

Two years ago Kirsty Bryant was excited to meet her first baby. But after a traumatic birth experience, she needed a hysterectomy to stop a haemorrhage and save her life.
Left without a uterus, Kirsty had to grieve the future babies she had envisioned for her family, until she stumbled across a medical trial that is changing all that.

How often are women's health conditions misdiagnosed? Well, it turns out, quite often.
The medical system all over the world has been, and remains, led by men, for men, using men as the yardstick for conditions and the medicines to treat them.
That means women are at risk of adverse reactions to medications, different outcomes to surgery and treatment and misdiagnosis all due to gender bias.
In this episode of The Quicky we look at how we deal with a system that's supposed to help us and heal us, when it may not even really know what's going on with us in the first place.

It's the case that's been unpacked on Netflix's new docuseries, Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal. A story with five people dead under unusual or suspicious circumstances all seemingly connected to one very powerful and influential family, the Murdaugh's.
Last week, Alex Murdaugh, the prime suspect for two of the five deaths, was convicted of murdering his wife and son.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Michael DeWitt, a local reporter who has been covering the case since the very beginning, to answer some of the questions left behind after the verdict.

Another month, another rate rise from the Reserve Bank of Australia.
The interest rate has gone up for the 10th consecutive meeting, taking the cash rate target to 3.6 per cent. This is the highest in over a decade.
So, with these rate increases coming month after month, why hasn't it helped our inflation?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to an expert to find out what's going on with our economy and why Aussies are paying a high price for monetary policy?

Over the weekend Prince Harry was back doing yet another interview. This time with Dr Gabor Maté, an expert in trauma and childhood development who diagnosed him with a disorder on a live stream.
But how can someone he's only met twice throw out a diagnosis without properly assessing him? What implications are there for those watching, and for Harry himself? What do we need to know before we're too quick to self-diagnose?
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the dangers of Prince Harry's latest interview and what it's really like to get a diagnosis of ADHD.

Australia's rental market is less affordable than ever, with low vacancy rates and rising rent levels contributing to a housing crisis.
With converted sheds, divided room spaces, tents and caravans all being explored as options, one group of renters are actually becoming home owners on a much, much smaller scale.
Today we meet someone who lives in a tiny home - and look at whether it really is the answer to our growing housing problems.

There's a reason we call dogs "man's (and woman's of course) best friend". They're loyal, loving and oftentimes, considered to be an additional family member.
They can sniff out disease, drugs, bombs, money. They pull heavy weights. They catch criminals. Some dogs even provide a service for people with disabilities, like guide or anxiety dogs.
So we know dogs are remarkable. They can be trained to do incredible things. But can a dog, who just lives in your house to be loved by you, actually be beneficial to our mental, emotional and physical health?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to an expert to find out what health benefits our fur babies can provide for us.

Last week Queensland put forward a proposal to relax the states drug laws by expanding the Police Drug Diversion Program.
The program would protect drug offenders found with less than 50 grams of all drugs from being prosecuted, and instead push them into professional help.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at whether drugs should be looked at as a health issue instead of a criminal one and how relaxing the rules could lead to a healthier community.

For the very first time, World Pride is being held in Australia. And while the LGBTQIA+ is being encouraged and given a platform to celebrate along with their allies, there is a stage in Australia where the rainbow flag still sparks controversy.
A lot of sporting codes in Australia include an annual Pride round in their fixtures, where players are asked to don the rainbow flag either on their arm bands, guernseys, jerseys or elsewhere. But, some players refuse to wear the symbol and choose to instead boycott that game.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to an athlete who is in a same-sex relationship whose teammate declined to wear a rainbow guernsey for their Pride round to find out how you navigate your sporting career with a teammate who publicly doesn't the LGBTQIA+ community.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Matilda", "The BFG", "James and the Giant Peach" these are just some of Roald Dahl's most famous stories written for kids all around the world.
Last week we heard the news that Puffin, the British publishing house, is releasing new editions of Dahl's children's stories that have been rewritten to suit modern sensibilities, changing some words in an effort to not offend readers.
The words "fat" and "ugly" have gone and gendered phrases switched like the Cloud-Men becming Cloud-People.
These changes have caused quite a stir online - with many taking to social media to post their anger.
In today's episode, we take a look at whether we should be sanitising our history and why got so upset over a few small words.

"The Instagram Face" is no longer. That's the word from those in the know who say the days of Kardashian look alike faces with full lips, poreless skin, high cheekbones with full cheeks, large cat like eyes and smooth under eyes, achieved mostly through the use of fillers, is out this season.
But what is taking its place?
In this episode of The Quicky, we look into our face as a trend, the procedures those at the forefront of that trend are doing to themselves and what the process of undoing the instagram face is having on those who took drastic measures to achieve it in the first place.

One year ago, on the 24th of February 2022, Russian troops crossed Ukrainian borders and began what Russian President Vladimir Putin calls a "special military operation"...a campaign to take over the eastern regions of their neighbour.
12 months on, there's still no resolution to the conflict. Thousands of lives have been lost, millions more have been displaced.
So where to from here? In this episode of The Quicky we find out if we're any closer to a resolution or will this war continue for another year ahead?

On the third of May 2007 three year old Madeleine McCann vanished from an apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal. The McCanns were visiting from the United Kingdom, where they lived. She was sleeping in a room with her twin siblings while her parents were at a restaurant 130 feet away. The parents took turns checking on the children, but when Madeleines mum Kate checked later in the night, she found her daughter missing.
More than 15 years has passed since Madeleine's disappearance, and uncertainty still swirls around her whereabouts. So, when an instagram account popped up by a Polish woman claiming to be Madeleine, it made headlines all over the world.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to the private and psychic detective that's been working on this case for many years about whether or not this girl could be the one to end the mystery of what happened to Madeleine McCann.

Every day we are surrounded by endless information. We are taking things in when we check our phones, turn on the tv, go to the supermarket, get in our cars. It's almost inescapable. Most of us carry phones with us all day everyday. Phones that have the entire internets knowledge at the end of our fingertips.
With our lives now so information saturated, there is research stating that our cognitive function is being impaired by too much information.
A few years ago, entrepreneur Tim Ferriss introducer a concept called the 'low-information diet'. The concept is to limit our intake of unnecessary information to free up time and brain space.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what a low-information diet is and whether it's right for you.

But why don't we see that kid of devastating earthquake happen here in Australia?
On today's episode we speak to an expert to find out if we're at risk of a big tremor or whether our geography is protecting us from a major shake.

Almost every hour of everyday an Australian woman dies of heart disease. On average, that equates to 20 women a day.
Every February, Heart Disease Australia dedicates a month to heart research - they call it RedFeb. On top of asking for people to wear red and donate, they're raising awareness for the under diagnosis and lack of treatment for women with heart disease.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the risk factors that specifically affect women, and what you can do to look after your heart health.

This weekend Sydney kicks off WorldPride, a global celebration for the LGBTQIA+ community. 17 days of events, performances, rainbows and glitter as far as the eye can see.
We'll see buildings lit up in the Pride flag, streets lined for the annual Mardi Gras Parade, and thousands of LGBTQIA+ members celebrating.
But amidst the celebration, will also be a human rights conference that aims to create a world that is safe, free and equal for LGBTQIA+ people.
It's sometimes hard to remember the stigma and discrimination that the LGBTQIA+ community still face when we see celebrated pop culture icons and Pride parades with their rainbow flags. But discrimination continues everyday.
In this episode we hear from members of the LGBTQIA+ community about their personal experiences with discrimination, as well as speaking to Equality Australia's Legal Director about what we can still do as a nation to protect the LGBTQIA+ community.

Earlier this month 16 year old Stella Berry was bitten and killed by a shark in Perth's Swan River. It's the first shark fatality for Australia in 2023, and the first in The Swan River in a century.
We all know there are sharks in ocean. We all know that they are dangerous predators. But do you know what to do when confronted with one?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a man who was bitten by a shark not far from the same spot that Stella Berry was killed. We also hear from a shark safety diver who works with sharks every day, about what not to do if you come face to face with one of the oceans deadliest hunters.

You might have seen some videos on the news and social media lately about people being stopped by police refusing to hand over personal details. These people often say the police have no jurisdiction over them because they are Sovereign Citizens.
These people have increased in numbers since the Covid pandemic with anti-government sentiment on the rise, many decided it's time to free themselves from the Australian legal system and declare themselves a separate entity.
In today's episode we look at who sovereign citizens are, what they want and why the FBI has declared them incredibly dangerous.

I'm sure many of us have stories about the times we begged our parents to let us stay home from school. We'd fake tummy aches or sore heads just to have the chance to stay home watching daytime TV. Sometimes it was because we forgot to do our homework, some of us may have experienced bullying or we simply just didn't fit in.
But now there are thousands of parents who say their children physically can't go to school. They have something going on that means they struggle to survive a school day.
In this episode we look into school refusal, what could be causing it and how do we help the kids suffering? We speak to a mum who's daughter started having panic attacks at school when she was just 10 years old and an expert who can give you some tips on how to help your children.

Pamela Anderson's Netflix documentary and memoir have both been released recently - detailing the most intimate moments of her life, from her turbulent childhood, her marriage breakdown with Tommy Lee and all the details about that sex tape.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Jessica Bennett, a New York Times journalist who sat down one on one with Pamela to find out what she's really like and whether we, as a society, owe her a massive apology.

Reality TV has given us some pretty iconic moments over the years. It was often the topic of conversation in workplaces, schools & dinner tables. Nollsie or Guy Sebastian? Sarah Marie's antics on Big Brother. The Next Top Model Finale stuff up. We've really seen it all.
But in more recent times the number of people watching these shows has been dropping.
What's to blame? Is it that we have more options with streaming services? Is it that we no longer wish to see people put through the ringer in front of our eyes?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to former Bachelor and reality TV alumni Matty J and Mamamia entertainment guru Laura Brodnik to find out if reality TV is dead, or if we've just lost our appetite for it.

Last week, the Therapeutic Goods Administration changed the classification of Psilocybin and MDMA to allow psychiatrists to prescribe them for use in treating some mental health disorders.
But with this change comes questions. Who will benefit from their use? Who will be eligible?
In today's episode of The Quicky, we speak to professionals to break down psychedelics for the treatment of mental health issues and whether this move really does open up the door to new treatments that could end the suffering of thousands. We also speak to a woman who lost her husband who's life may have been saved if he had access to these drugs.

Last week a giant balloon drifted across the United States.
Americans are saying it's a Chinese spy balloon, a claim the Chinese government denies saying it's a weather balloon that's drifted off course.
On Saturday an F-22 Fighter Jet shot it down, it's remains falling into the ocean below.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at what spy balloons are, what they're capable of and if we need to be concerned about one drifting Down Under.

You may have heard about a new miracle weight loss drug called Ozempic.
Videos have been spreading online of users claiming insane weight loss in short periods of time. Even celebrities like Kim Kardashian have been accused of using it to slim down. There's just one problem...Ozempic is a medication designed for people with Type 2 Diabetes.
Why is that a problem? Since the trend emerged, Ozempic, and other drugs like it, have had global stock issues. Meaning those who actually really need the drug aren't able to fill their prescriptions.
In todays episode we look at whether Ozempic really is the answer to our weight loss goals, or if we're just being sold another addiction that will cause more health issues than we started with.

On January 7 2023, 29 year old Tyre Nichols was brutally beaten by four police officers in Sacramento, California.
He died three days later from his injuries.
While we may see this as just another case of police brutality against a black man in America, there was a twist to this tale, one that immediately exposed the systemic racism that is experienced not only in the US, but here in Australia too.
Today we look at the sad aftermath of Tyre Nichols death and why it exposed systemic racism in institutions like the police force like no other death like it.

Finding somewhere to rent in any city or town across Australia is proving to be difficult in 2023.
There are hundreds of hopeful applicants arriving at viewings, some offering to pay a year in advance or way above the asking price to secure a property. Even those with pristine rental histories, great references and more than enough income to support them aren't getting accepted for homes, leaving us to imagine how much harder it is for those who don't have all of those things backing them.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at why we don't have enough houses to go around and what can be done to ensure everyone has a roof over their heads.

You may have heard about the crime wave being experienced by the residents of Alice Springs. Some people, including the Mayor of Alice Springs, say the end of the alcohol ban is to blame for the recent rise in violent crime.
Some residents are calling for a return to previous legislation that bans alcohol sales in some communities - but does removing alcohol remove the crime?
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the politics of alcohol and why it's hit the centre of Australia so hard.

Jelena Dokic has been on our screens this past fortnight commentating at the Australian Open: a job that she is more than qualified to do.
Having been ranked number 4 in the world at just 19 years old, we know she knows her tennis.
So why is it that she's been relentlessly trolled this month? Jelena posted on her social media a number of comments she's been hit with, some calling her names, others calling for her to be taken off the broadcast, and some telling her to stop eating.
Jelena no longer fits in the acceptability window for a woman on tv. And in this episode of The Quicky, we find out why women aren't taken seriously unless they fit a certain look.
Warning: This episode mentions suicide and disordered eating.
If you need help in a crisis, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Next week, Aussie kids return to the school yard for their first day of 2023.
There will be those entering those gates for the very first time, full of nerves and excitement, those who are old hats and wander in like 'here we go again' and for some, it might be the very last time it’ll be their first day back at school, facing down year 12 and all that comes with it.
Today we’re looking at the different types of kids at the school gate on the first day, how you can help with those suffering anxiety and how to handle your own emotions when your child walks in and never looks back.

Today is the 26th of January. A day that everyone has an opinion on.
Some say the day should still be used to celebrate, some used to recognise it and now they don't, and some have been calling for change for many years.
So where are we at with January 26 as a nation? Are we moving towards change or are we sticking the the date that excludes those whose history was changed forever on this day in 1788.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a deep dive into the date that truly divides the country on a day that is supposed to bring us together.
To hear more about the history and impact of January 26, head here to Mamamia's Fill My Cup. Or here to Mamamia's No Filter with Narelda Jacobs.

With the Oscar nominations released today, there is some excitement that the awards season is well and truly underway… but that excitement isn’t what it used to be and those who broadcast the ceremonies are finding all that money they’ve shelled out for the rights, isn’t returning the kind of viewer numbers they used to.
So what’s happening with those big glamorous red carpets and long drawn out nights full of speeches, statues and sometimes boozy moments with the added dash of a bit of controversy at times?
Are we losing interest? does it take something like the will smith slap to keep us entertained in 2023?
Today we find out whether the awards ceremony is dead and if it’s on the way out, how do we save it.

On Thursday, the New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced her shock resignation, while also calling an election in October.
Ardern has been at the helm of New Zealand for five years, not all of which have been smooth sailing.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Michelle Duff, who quite literally wrote the book on Jacinda Ardern, as we take a look back over her time as Prime Minister and find out how the people of New Zealand really feel about her resignation.

If you haven't heard of Andrew Tate - you may have been living under a rock. The former kickboxer, turned social media sensation has made headlines in the past year for all the wrong reasons. He's become a hero to young men for his misogynistic views and divisive commentary on relationships between men and women.
A few weeks ago, he was arrested in Romania - a place he openly admitted to moving to from the UK because the rape laws are more lenient.
With his name being thrust into the spotlight again, it's raised the question...why do young boys and men buy into this rhetoric?
On this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a high school principal about the damaging effects Tate's hateful comments are causing for our young men. We also speak to Hunter Johnson, CEO of The Man Cave about how we can tackle the hateful, sexist and violent views Tate promotes.

Last October, Brazil announced they had a new President. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took out 50.9% against 49.1% for former President Jair Bolsonaro, the right-wing incumbent.
Since the result, Bolsonaro's supporters have protested their leaders defeat.
Earlier this month, in scenes reminiscent of the January 6 Capitol Building attack in the US in 2021, thousands of far right supporters of Bolsonaro, stormed the country's congress, supreme court and Presidential Palace.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what exactly has happened in Brazil and whether the far right uprising was destined to unfold or if its simply a copycat event.

Last year, in a move that shocked the tennis world, Ash Barty retired from tennis while she was the number one seed. Fans everywhere were confused when the 25 year old announced she'd be stepping away from the sport - just months after winning her third grand slam.
Fast forward to January 2023, Ash & her husband have announced they are expecting a baby. Leading to speculation that this must be the reason for her retirement. Because of course, no woman can have that level of commitment to her job and a family. No woman can 'have it all'. But what does that even mean?
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at what it means to have it all in 2023.

We have been exposed to a whole lot of Sussex of late. Prince Harry's tell-all memoir, Spare hit the shelves a week ago, and it seems we can't get enough.
We've heard about a physical altercation with Prince William, his time in the military and we even got a peak inside the time Harry lost his virginity. But, not all his stories have been well received.
In this episode we look at why Harry's exposés have been a little too much for some to swallow and what happens now he's put all that dirty laundry on display.

Today, instead of what’s happening in the news cycle, we’re getting you up to speed on what happens in the day-to-day lives of those who host The Quicky.
There are three voices that you will hear on The Quicky throughout the year, Claire Murphy's mostly and then two other incredible journalists, Gemma Bath and Emma Gillespie.
All three of us managed to get in the same room at the same time and have a conversation about what we do every day, who we loved to speak to, who we may have offended and what it was like to wake up one morning at 4am and find out the Queen had died.
So sit back and enjoy, The Quicky behind the scenes.

Welcome to The Quicky, where in this special extended episode, we are getting you up to speed on the year that was 2022.
We've had devastating floods, a new Prime Minister, the invasion of Ukraine and the death of a Queen.
It's been a hell of a ride for Australia and the world so today we remember the year that we finally talked less about covid even though it never really went away, where we paid more for everything but also got the interest rate hikes we were told we had to have, and we said goodbye to some of the biggest names in music and showbiz.

Christmas may be the most wonderful time of the year for many of us, but it also might be one of the worst if you’re at an airport.
This year is set to be no exception. With flight prices, delays & cancellations all having increased- there’s no better time than to have a strategy in place for taking your flight.
Today we speak to two people who have just boarded or are about to board their flights home for Christmas & what strategies they used to avoid the mayhem that is taking a flight over the Christmas period.
We also speak to CEO of the Australian Airports Association, James Goodwin on why some of these issues are occurring and how best to prepare for them. Yes, that might mean getting to the airport a lot earlier than usual for a domestic flight.

In Australia at this time of year, it’s pretty difficult to avoid anything Christmas.
Every store is decked out with decorations, gifts, Christmas related food items, carols play on the PA system and some even have a resident Santa.
It’s the focus of end of year work parties, school events and concerts… but what if you don't celebrate it?
Today we speak to three people who do not get into the Christmas spirit (well not entirely), how they feel being surrounded by it 24/7 and what the last few weeks of the year look like for them here in a multicultural but very Christmas heavy Australia.

Congratulations Australia, you’ve surpassed a 2021 milestone.
We say this with no joy because it’s not a milestone you want to surpass, it’s one we’ve been actively trying to turn around for years but despite the tireless efforts of thousands of people across the country, 47 women have died at the hands of a violent man in Australia this year, one more than the year before.
That’s 47 women who will not be joining their families these holidays, 45 families who will be grieving instead of celebrating.
Today, we meet the mother of one of those women as we learn the names of many more who won’t be with their families this Christmas.

In this last instalment of Harry & Meghan's Netflix documentary, we heard some hard truths about how the firm works, how the Houses of Cambridge and Wales actively worked against the House of Sussex.
We heard about deeply personal moments, deeply upsetting experiences and just a glimmer of hope that maybe, these two can now finally move forward with their lives.
So where to from here?
Today, we look at whether there’s any going back for H & M and whether the family rift, now a gaping wound, can ever be healed for the Windsors.

Christmas is magical, it’s special, a time for catching up with friends and family, of giving and receiving gifts… but it can also be quite the strain on some family members
Today we’re looking at the Christmas mental load which is disproportionately carried by the women in the family, how you can delegate, how you can say no, handle the disappointed faces and not lose your mind at your significant others.

Would 16 year old you have been switched on enough to make an informed decision at the polling booth?
The greens are pushing to lower the voting age to 16 saying our democracy is stronger when more people are able to participate in decision making, but are we giving 16 year olds too much credit? are we armed with enough information and maturity to make that call at that age?
Today we listen to both sides of the argument for allowing 16 and 17 year olds make the choice on who runs the country.

Have you ever wanted to know how much your colleagues are being paid?
Have you ever checked to see if you have a clause in your employment contract that specifically forbids you from asking or sharing that information?
New laws have just been passed by the Australian government that will make that a thing of the past.
Today we look at the Secure Jobs, Better Pay bill and whether that information on what everyone else is earning, can help you make sure you’re being paid what you’re worth and whether it can actually close Australia’s gender pay gap.

The first three episodes of Harry and Meghan’s much anticipated Netflix documentary have finally dropped and we've learned quite a bit from the royal couple.
But for those around in 1995, who witnessed Harry’s mother also spill the beans on the firm as the machine behind the royal family is commonly known, we only realised much later just how much she had been manipulated into that interview and the damage it would cause to both her and her family.
Today, we look at whether Harry and Meghan have been ensnared by the exact same trap that Diana fell into and what this will mean for the Sussex’s future and family affairs.

Ian Thorpe has 5 Olympic gold medals, 9 Commonwealth gold, 13 World Championships and 23 world records.
In his 9 years competing in the pool he was known as the Thorpedo, his big feet and long wingspan propelling him through the water for almost every distance from 100m to 800m.
But there was one title we weren’t aware of when he was in the sporting spotlight.
Today we speak to the man himself about the moment he sat down with Michael Parkinson and revealed to the world he was gay, whether he would have come out sooner had he known the response from the public and how he plans to spend his time celebrating in Sydney for World Pride in 2023.

Just recently, a little boy playing beside his grandparents' Byron Bay swimming pool was literally dragged into the water by a huge python.
While the toddler was saved, there are many warnings coming our way about the size, location and boldness of snakes that have been flushed out of their usual living quarters by massive floods across many states.
Today, we look at what we’re being told is going to be the worst ever snake season and what other creepy crawlies are going to be bigger and bitier than ever this year.

Recently we saw Chinese citizens on the streets of cities and towns across China itself, protesting against the communist government.
Now protests are not uncommon, even in countries where this type of anti-government push back can end with someone behind bars, or worse… but what makes these protests so unique, is the fact that they were even able to coordinate a mass gathering at all.
Today we look into why these protests in China are breaking out now and whether their defiance is the sign of the beginning of the end for their leader.

More women than ever were elected into the Australian Parliament this year, 58 MPs now making up 38% of the chamber, the highest ever on record. Only for one party, representation went backwards.
But are there plans in place to change that, to bring more women and a more diverse selection of people into the Liberal fold so can they make a difference before we go to the polls again in a few years time?
Today we speak to Charlotte Mortlock, a former journalist who's trying to change the Liberals from the inside out.

There’s a scene from the current series of The Crown that many people found jarring.
When Mohamed Al-Fayed buys the former French residence of the Duke of Windsor, Edward the Third, he invites the royals to visit.
Instead, they send an entourage who clear it out of some of the more important royal objects, including the desk at which the then King Edward signed his abdication papers.
But while that story isn’t quite true, many wondered at the audacity of the royal family claiming artefacts from their own history when they hold on to so many of those they’ve collected from the colonies over hundreds of years, objects that some want returned.
Today we check in with Marc Fennell, the host of Stuff the British Stole, to find out out why some things still remain in the grips of the colonial power.

Recently, Aussie superstar Chris Hemsworth was given some pretty life changing news.
With the revelation that he carries a gene that could lead to a life altering diagnosis of Alzheimer's later on in his life, it had us wondering, would you choose to get the test if if you knew you had a genetic threat laying in wait?
Today, we look at what genetic testing can actually help with, or whether not knowing is actually a better option for some.

Last week, the findings and recommendations from an inquiry into the culture of the Queensland police force were handed down.
Is this type of cultural toxicity more rampant in the Queensland police, or is this something the force is struggling with all across Australia? And why do those personality types find their way into a job that clearly requires them to have a handle on these things?
Today we look at why putting on a uniform for some means responsibility, while for others, it’s all about the power.

Recently, a headline started to do the rounds proclaiming that "heroin chic" was back.
For those who weren’t around in the mid 90s, the term may not be a familiar one, but for those who were influenced by its muses and promoters, it came with a healthy dose of body image issues.
Today we look at why this body shape ideal - dressed up as a fashion trend - is back in the news and whether the women of 2022 are in a better position to fight off the problematic discussion that comes with it.

It may sound like Déjà vu, but Covid’s back for a fourth wave. And as much as we’d all love to stick our fingers in our ears and close our eyes, the reality is, cases across Australia are on the rise.
While figures are still 85% below the previous peak of late July, average daily cases last week were 47% higher than the week before.
The spike has led to Queensland raising its alert level from amber to green, and the push to get up to date with vaccines is starting to increase. So what do know about these new variants, and how concerned should we be?
Today we answer all of your questions about the current Covid wave, and what it could mean for the next few weeks as we countdown to Christmas.

Guess who’s back.. back again?
No it’s not Slim Shady, it’s former US President, Donald Trump.
Up until now, it had been a rumour, then a whisper, that has now turned into a full on shout as Trump announced this week that he'll be running for the presidency again in 2024.
Today we find out the likelihood that Trump will actually make it back into the White House and what these midterm results tell us about how he'll fair at the ballot box.

The scams are ramping up as we head into the busy Christmas New Year period with parcel phishing, dodgy toll payment portals and compromised business emails making it very difficult to know what is a real link, what is a real communication and what isn’t a scam trying to fleece us for our money.
Today, we take a look at some of the biggest scams doing the rounds right now and how - especially in the midst of some of the country’s worst data breaches - you can avoid falling victim to yet another attempt at tricking you online.

Prior to 2020, Pete Evans was a judge on the popular Aussie TV reality cooking show, My Kitchen Rules.
He was just another celebrity chef, not that different to the rest of the foodie loving kitchen tyrants, or so we thought.
By the end of 2020, Evans was banned from social media platforms, dropped by management and sponsors and was even fined tens of thousands of dollars.
Today, we find out what happens to someone like Pete Evans, banned from the mainstream, and left to the echo chambers of the far right conspiracy theorists.
Has the banishment led to any meaningful change or did it actually make matters worse?

South Australia has recently come on board with enacting laws outlawing a sly and dangerous form of sexual assault that blurs the lines of consent.
Stealthing, or the nonconsensual removal of a condom during intercourse is now outlawed across several Australian states and territories but when we shared the latest news on this on social media, the comments section voiced a fear that many shared… how do you prove it?
Today we look at when stealthing laws have actually found someone guilty and how we expect them to be handled in courts across the country.

Listen to Claire's full interview with Esther Perel here.
Divorce rates reportedly spiked in the wake of the global pandemic, many relationships struggling the extended time locked up together without the ability to take some time away from one another.
So now that, hopefully, the worst of Covid is behind us, do we need to consider taking a break from our relationships to regroup and start over?
Today, we speak to world renowned relationship expert Esther Perel to look at whether taking a break from a partner for a good amount of time can actually be the start of the next chapter or whether the need for space heralds the beginning of the end.

Aussies have re-embraced travel with gusto since international borders reopened at the end of last year and Covid rules have been slowly eased over time.
We are flying, cruising, touring, relaxing, adventuring and doing all the things we put off for those two locked down years.
But there are also new holiday trends beginning to emerge and ones that were stifled during the pandemic coming back with a vengeance in 2022. Today we look at some new travel trends and some more unusual ways to spend your time on holiday.

It’s a right of passage for every young girl.
The moment you get those first drops of blood and hopefully someone in your circle, or reading the right things on the internet, tells you about all the things you can use to keep your period leaking and ruining your outfit.
It can be a time of pride, of shame, of worry and a sense of achievement. Now, the age at which puberty is hitting girls across the globe seems to be getting earlier and earlier... but why?
Today, we look at the factors being investigated as the reason for early puberty and how it will impact those who do reach that milestone much younger than most.

Season 5 of The Crown debuts on Netflix today with those who have been faithfully following the progress of the Windsors through it’s lens, happy to watch on as some of the royal’s most spectacularly scandalous years are finally recreated on their small screen.
But is the show rewriting history with its fact or fiction plotlines? And what ethical dilemma does one prince have, when he too will be profiting from the very same platform that is screening the tell-all of his family’s past?
Today, we look at the ethics of The Crown and whether it needs to be clearer, that the events we see in those weekly episodes, are skirting dangerously close to truths without having all the facts.

Elon Musk is now the proud owner of Twitter.
Known as the social media platform for journalists, politicians and heads of business, it can also be the place where radical conspiracy theories and ideologies are shared.
Musk, who is one of the world’s richest people, who has a long track record of dubious posts on the platform himself, says he wants it to be “a digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.” That free speech is “the bedrock of a functioning democracy.”
Today, we look at what it means to leave the future of free speech in the hands of a man whose track record of shutting it down for his own benefit is a long and complicated one.

Australia is a rich country with access to healthcare and nutritious foods in a climate envied by others.
But recent data shows 50% of Australians are living with a long term illness. This is the focus of a new TV show on the ABC.
Magda Szubanski is an Australian icon, a comedian whose characters are beloved by millions and whose place in Australian pop culture is legendary … but there may be some scratching their heads about why she of all people would be the face of a TV show about the health of Australians, because she isn’t - in the eyes of many - someone who could possibly be healthy.
Today, we look at the science of fat, whether weight really is the biggest health issue Australians are facing or whether it’s become more of an obstacle to treatment for those issues, and whether we can actually be big and healthy.

Cassius Turvey was just 15-years-old when he was allegedly beaten with a metal pole as he walked home from school last month.
As he lay dying in hospital, police would say things that would be interpreted as being offhand, refusing to confirm whether racism was a factor in the crime. Newspapers would barely delve into the incident, while the family of a young boy whose life was slowly leaving his young body, were pleading for hime to be considered a human who deserved humanity’s sympathy.
Today, after a week of action around the death of Cassius Turvey, we look at how Australia still struggles to tell the stories of First Nation's People.

Have you ever been in a physical relationship with someone, maybe one that started out all hot and heavy, only to find out a little further down the track that your libidos aren’t on the same page?
With one partner becoming the pursuer and seeming to constantly want sex ending up frustrated at the lack of physical intimacy, the other, withdraws and starts to resent the pursuer for not understanding that they simply aren’t in the mood.
It can be a deal breaker for some but can you actually overcome it?
Today, we look at why some of us have a high sex drive while others are a slower burn and whether we can actually find a way to meet somewhere in the middle.

Kanye West has said some pretty awful things about the Jewish community of late.
He has accused them of controlling business, of controlling people in his industry including himself, he has threatened them, and said he will no longer stand for their influence… and it has set off groups of like-minded individuals who have taken their suspicions of Jewish people to the streets.
But where does this hatred for Jewish people come from and why haven't the lessons of the past shown people just how deadly and dangerous this type of rhetoric can be?
Today, we try to understand anti-semitism and why Kanye is wading into a long and brutal history with a tweet.

Last week there was a lot of conversations around the Diamonds, the Aussie netball team, who pushed back on a sponsorship deal that would see them wear the logo of a company that had a complicated and racist history with Indigenous Australians.
While the outcome saw the diamonds lose $15 million and possibly more, questions were raised about the intersection of sport and politics, about whether athletes should keep quiet and take the money for the sake of the game rather than have an opinion about the deal.
Today we look at how clubs select who backs them financially and whether that money should come with a guarantee to not bite the hand that feeds them.

Teacher's have had a rough couple of years.
From the pandemic shut downs to the post pandemic short staffing and the industrial action that saw thousands take to the streets, there seems to be an endless supply of negative news from the classroom.
But among all that noise there are still incredible people who dedicate their lives to teaching the young minds of Australia all the things they need to arm themselves for leaving school and beyond.
For this year's national teachers day celebrations we speak to Australia's teachers of the year and get some insight on what it really takes to cut it in the classroom.

From the pandemic shutdowns to the post-pandemic staffing issues, and industrial action on our streets - teachers have had a rough couple of years.
Among an endless stream of negative news, there remain masses of incredible people dedicating their lives to classrooms and shaping the minds of young Australians - our future leaders.
After National Teachers Day last week, we're reflecting on what it takes to cut it in the classroom, and speaking to Australia's best and brightest.

It's the trial Australia had been waiting for since that interview with The Project's Lisa Wilkinson back in 2021, what would be the outcome of the allegations that a young women, Brittany Higgins, was raped in parliament house.
A 6 week trial turned into 12 days of evidence, which then turned into nearly a week of jury deliberation until the bombshell yesterday that the jury had been discharged due to misconduct.
Today we go through the trial of Bruce Lehrmann and find out exactly what went down in that jury room for them to now have to go through the whole thing again.

With missing disgraced financier Melissa Caddick's multi-million dollar mansion up for sale, there are those who would wish to buy it as a bonafide investment but there are others who would want it for the honour of owning a property where the 49 year old was last seen alive.
There are hundreds of former crime scenes across Australia that are now owned by those not associated with the incident, so what is is like to live in a property with that kind of past?
Today we speak to the real estate agent who sold the Snowtown bank vault and find out what it takes to own some of the country's darkest history.

Rain, rain go away, come again another day.
It's the creepy children's rhyme that has crossed the minds of many an Australian in recent times as La Ninà continues to dominate weather patterns across the country.
With floods over and over in some parts and impacting areas where water has been scarce for many years, the endless wet has put a damper on events, lives and businesses across Australia.
But word on the street is that La Ninà is almost over for this season, so how do we know that's true and what does that mean for what comes after?

A lot has been said about Kanye West's recent anti-Semitic and racist outbursts with many linking the rants to his bipolar diagnosis but there are some who say that having bipolar doesn't mean you're excused from bad behaviour, so where do we draw the line?
Today we find out what it's like to actually have bipolar and how we navigate the fine line between excusing behaviour due to mental health and ensuring that behaviour doesn't hurt others.

Getting a tic (a brief motor movement or vocalisation) is actually super common but the use of a certain social media platform is starting to create them faster and in larger numbers in groups not usually affected.
Today we look at the impact of a platform like TikTok on vulnerable minds and how a certain genre within the platform's users leads to those who already suffer from tics to be triggered.

Some get it worse then others, some find it impossible to ever shake but ask anyone you work with and they'll probably tell you at some stage in their lives they've felt the effects of imposter syndrome.
So why is it, even when we are fully qualified to do a job or perform a task, we feel like any moment someone will call us out as fakes?
Today we look at imposter syndrome, why we get it, how we handle it and what we can do to get over it.

Parents across Australia were terrified after watching the Todd Sampson documentary Mirror Mirror where he looked a website called Omegle, a place where sexual predators are easily linked to young children.
But while many are even more scared of allowing children to play online, the show left us with little resources as to how to deal with it and how you keep on top of all the ways in which predators can find their young victims online.
Today we look at how you actually help young Aussies handle the dangers of sites like Omegle while at the same time knowing their curiosity will more than likely lead them straight there.

We’re now 8 months into a war in Ukraine that Vladimir Putin had reportedly expected to take just a few days, when his troops invaded back in February.
Now, a bridge - a source of pride for the Russian president - has been hit. In retaliation, missiles rained down on civilians and infrastructure as the war spirals more and more out of control.
Today, we get the low down on Russia’s tactics as they continue to fight what seems to be a losing battle and where we can possibly go from here.

While the cost of living is going up and things like interest rates are heading in the same direction, for a very long time, our wages haven't been climbing at the same rate, leaving us falling a tad short in the hip pocket.
But recent stats show that wages are now on the way up, with many industries finding it increasingly difficult to secure workers. So what if you're an existing employee who hasn't been able to get yourself some of that sweet new money?
Today, we look at how you can jump on the wage growth gravy train and the best way to ask for that sometimes very overdue pay rise.

In the past 10 years or so, young women have been told that in order to protect their fertility in the future, they should have their eggs frozen when they're in their twenties.
This directive has made some women feel anxious about whether they should make the move at such a young age - what if they do end up needing them? Or what if they don't end up needing them and went through an expensive and not so easy process of harvesting eggs when they didn't have to?
Today we look at whether egg freezing is the necessary tool in the arsenal against infertility or if we're being sold a way to make an industry a lot of money.

10 years ago, on what would normally have been just another day in Australian Federal Parliament, in what many thought would be just another question time, then prime minister Julia Gillard delivered a speech that’s ripples still reverberate around the globe today
The Misogyny Speech as it has now come to be known, showed a women, in complete control of herself, completely confident in the message she was delivering and completely ready to face up to a problem that has plagued politics then and since.
Today we find out how that day unfolded for Julia Gillard, how that speech impacts her life today and what message she has for any woman aiming to take over the country’s top job.

The AFLW is now in its seventh season, with all 18 AFL men's teams represented with an equivalent AFLW side and the women, who once were just happy to be allowed to play, are now starting to realise that this is really happening, that they can make a career out of playing the game they love.
But despite the radical improvement since the league's launch five years ago, some men continue to criticise the level of support the women's game has been getting.
Today, we look at why the fear of men's space being taken from them persists and whether we should ignore or engage with the criticism at all.

Billy Ray Cyrus has probably the world's most famous one but his daughter Miley's is getting a good run too.
Action stars were renowned for them at one stage - so were Aussie Rules football players - but after years in the fashion wilderness, the mullet is back.
Men, women and all gender identities are again embracing the hairstyle that Australians have identified as part of our bogan past but now with a modern twist.
Today, we look at the history of the iconic cut that's all business in the front, party in the back.

Content warning: This episode discusses details of sexual assault, please reach out to the resources listed below for help if you are in need.
One of the country's most anticipated criminal trials got underway this week, with former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins taking her alleged rapist to court over an incident in Parliament House in 2019.
But getting to this point hasn't been an easy road for anyone involved and for many survivors of sexual assault, even getting to have their day in court is too far out of their reach.
In today's episode, we look at how the criminal justice system is not set up for victims of sexual violence and what needs to be done to make the system more balanced for both the alleged victim and their accused.

For the first time since World War II, a far-right fascist political party has taken the reigns of the Italian parliament.
Its leader Georgia Meloni is the first female Prime Minister of the country, a fact that feminists across the globe would usually be celebrating but there are some very serious concerns about the views the journalist-turned-politician holds.
In today’s episode, The Quicky team takes a look at who Georgia Meloni is and why she has the world worried about a slide back to a very dark time in our history.

Like many of us, you probably heard the term hyperemesis gravidarum when Catherine the Princess of Wales was pregnant with George, Charlotte and Louis, but recently another celebrity, former MAFS star Martha Kalafatidis, has been experiencing the debilitating condition too.
So why do some women end up with the extreme version of morning sickness that can leave them bedridden for months, with only childbirth the relief at the end of the struggle for some?
In today's episode, we look at the intense and sometimes crippling way a pregnant body can react when it's busy growing a tiny human.

With another rate rise looking likely next week, there is a cohort of Australian home owners who have found themselves in a bit of a tricky situation.
Some, looking to refinance and get a better deal than the higher rate they're on, aren't able to get any financial institution to help them because they no longer meet the documentation requirements when their mortgage repayments are taking up more of their household income, or their house is now worth less than their loan.
This situation is known as a mortgage prison, when you can't afford the rate rise increases on your current mortgage but you also can't move to another option in order to make it more affordable.
In this episode, The Quicky team finds out how mortgage prisons work and what it takes to break free from one.

Optus has apologised to millions of customers who recently had a stack of their personal data stolen from them by hackers.
Some of that data included names, addresses, birth dates and their Medicare, driver’s license or passport numbers, things that could be easily used to access other platforms like, say, internet banking or to set up new accounts using their ID.
In today’s episode, The Quicky team speaks to the journalist who has been in direct contact with the alleged hacker and a cyber security expert to look at what to do when your personal details have been stolen and whether there really is anything you can do to counteract it.

Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin mobilised his army - the first time Russia has done so since World War II.
As a result, we saw the first signs coming from within Russia that they aren't as supportive of Putin's war as we thought, with thousands of people detained for protesting the draft.
In today's episode, The Quicky team looks at what exactly is happening inside Russia and whether the people can fight back against a restrictive and often brutal regime.

The death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in the custody of the Iranian morality police has set off the rage felt by many women who say the constant policing of their dress code is nothing more than a tool of oppression.
So they have taken to the streets, burning their headscarves and cutting their hair to try and show the regime that they are no longer willing to stand by and allow them to control their every move.
But will this end with any significant change or will it be like protests of the past where the regime ended it in the worst possible way?
Today The Quicky team looks at the wearing of the hijab in Iran and how it went from a being a form of cultural expression to a hated symbol of oppression.

When Chris Dawson was finally found guilty of the murder of his former wife Lynette after 40 years, the next question asked was, where is she?
Since she went missing in 1982, that's something her family have been desperately wanting the answer to but so far, they still wait for news as to where their mother, sister and aunty's remains lay. But could that change?
In today's episode, The Quicky team looks at whether the much publicised 'No Body, No Parole' law could motivate someone like Chris Dawson to give up their victim's final resting place.

After nearly two weeks of mourning and ceremony, we've finally laid Queen Elizabeth II to rest.
So, now we turn our attention to the reign of King Charles III but what kind of king is he really going to be?
Is he the environmental warrior just trying to uphold his late mother's ideologies, or is he the spoiled little rich boy we've seen glimpses of this week?
In today's episode, The Quicky team takes a look at what we know about Charles and the man he is, and what we can expect as he takes the throne out of the Elizabethan era and into his own.

Today, we lay to rest Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the woman, who for many for us has been the only monarch we've ever known, reigning over the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth for 70 years.
But mourning the Queen is not a simple affair, torn between admiring a woman who was thrown into a life she never planned on leading, doing her job dutifully for her entire life, while also living a privileged and comfortable existence with money that has a long history of colonisation and oppression.
For some, she is a grandmother figure, to others, she is an oppressor. And for those who are feeling sadness right now, they may be wondering why on earth they are grieving a woman they've never met.
In this episode, we look at the complicated process of mourning Queen Elizabeth.

While according to astronomers, spring hasn't actually sprung just yet, hay fever sufferers and the annual black and white terrors of the skies might disagree.
Yes, it's magpie swooping season, where cyclists in particular are subject to sometimes daily dive bombing by magpies looking to protect their springtime nests from those devils on two wheels.
Today, The Quicky team finds out why magpies have decided we are a threat even when we have no idea where their babies are and whether we can actually become friends to stop our winged attackers.

Some said it was disrespectful, some say it was the time... but where do you stand on Australia becoming a republic?
In the hours after Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away, the Australian Republic Movement released a statement with comments from its chair, Peter Fitzsimons.
While the timing of the statement's release may have been the subject of some backlash, are they right?
Today The Quicky team discusses whether now is the time to have the republic discussion.

Recently, there were headlines telling us that on average, Aussies had around $40,000 in savings in the bank.
The response around the office water cooler was a shocked one - who the hell has 40k in the bank? Those who do, stayed suspiciously quiet.
In today's episode, The Quicky team finds out just how true that headline is, and if you are one of those with 40k stashed away in your coffers, what you should be doing with all that cash.

Since late last week when Queen Elizabeth II passed away, we have been inundated with wall to wall royal coverage, their every movement tracked to see just how they are handling the loss of the woman who has reigned over the UK and the Commonwealth for 70 years.
From public walkabouts to official ceremonies and plans in place for the send off, there is much to be witnessed as this ancient and some would say, outdated institution farewells a woman who is incredibly respected by some and very much hated by others.
Today The Quicky team looks at how the royals themselves are handling this moment in time as the Commonwealth takes a hard look at what this means for all of us moving forward.

Yes, for a decade now, we've been swiping left or right in the hopes we will find the one, or maybe just the one for tonight, while we navigate a world that introduced us to ghosting, unsolicited pictures of a certain kind en masse and some rather toxic types.
In this episode, The Quicky team looks at the pros and cons of moving our relationships into this space and how we've changed and adapted to how we go shopping for a relationship.

Earlier this week, the UK finally announced their new Prime Minister.
Weeks after Boris Johnson announced he would step down on the back of months of pressure following scandal after scandal, the Conservatives whittled down their pack of hopefuls to two, with Foreign Secretary Liz Truss winning out over Former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak.
But who is Liz Truss, and why are there so many negative reports about the woman who calls Boris Johnson her friend?
Today The Quicky Team finds out exactly who the new British PM is, and how she'll handle taking on the top job.

In October last year, a joint investigation by the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and the ABC's Four Corners program uncovered serious hygiene and safety breaches at the premises of controversial medical practitioners who some refer to as cosmetic cowboys.
Now a review into the sector has been completed and recommendations have been put forward and accepted, including a dedicated enforcement arm charged with overseeing the industry to ensure the practices exposed by the media reports don't happen again... but is it enough?
Today The Quicky team investigates how bad the fall out from an unregulated medical profession can be and whether more needs to be done to make sure those who don't need any formal qualification in cosmetic surgery to perform the procedures, don't ride into cowboy territory again.

Last week, the Federal Government announced some changes to Covid restrictions.
But a drop to 5 days of Covid isolation wasn't far enough for some, with calls to scrap iso altogether and get back to pre-pandemic normal.
Today The Quicky team explores what that looks like, with people who live in and who have visited a country where pretty much all Covid restrictions - including isolation - have been scrapped, and whether everyone is actually OK.

Meghan the Duchess of Sussex is copping some serious backlash right now.
After a profile of her in the high-end New York-based magazine, The Cut, even those who are fans of the former actress-turned-duchess are wondering why every time she has the chance to let the world know who she is and what she really stands for, it seems to turn on her.
Today's The Quicky team looks at the new era of Meghan and why the duchess seems to be struggling to find her place.

Recently, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese outlined the top ten professions with the more dire worker shortages. Calling them the 'jobs of the future' - areas we are struggling to find people to fill roles.
Right now, in Australia, there are more job vacancies than there are people looking for work. This has left many industries struggling to find enough staff for their businesses to function.
In todays episode of The Quicky, we take a look at some of those in demand professions, and speak to women who have already secured them about what the job actually entails.

Have you ever been told by a parent 'you won't understand until you're a parent'?
For those childless friends it sounds like a bit of a smug parenting thing to say - but could those who give birth actually go through a physical brain change that sets them apart from those who don't?
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at a process known as Matrescence, to find out how the brain rewires when not only a child, but also a mother is born.

On Tuesday afternoon, a judge found Sydney man Chris Dawson guilty of murdering his wife Lyn back in the 1980's.
The disappearance of Lyn was the subject of Australian podcast The Teacher's Pet. With over 28 million downloads worldwide, the podcast, and the case it was about gained international interest.
In today's episode of The Quicky, we tell a story of how a podcast influenced the criminal justice system and how one man was able to get away with murder for 40 years...until now.

The Greens recently announced policy, which would freeze rental prices for the next two years.
While some like the sound of that, others including some economists don't think the plan will be good for the market or the economy in the long term.
Today The Quicky, speaks to those on both sides of the argument for rent stabilisation measures, and we hear from listeners right around the country to hear just how much we're paying for a roof over our heads.

You may have heard a few things about Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison lately.
Some of his actions while he was Prime Minister have been called into question. But the thing is, nothing he did was actually against the law...so why are we so mad about it?
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Mark Kenny about why and how Scott Morrison was able to swear himself into multiple ministries, and what changes have been made since.

It's 2022 so chances are you own, or have used at least one sex toy in your life, or perhaps you have an entire 'goody drawer' in your bedside, because now there is no stigma and we can all freely buy a wide array of sex toys any time of the day or night.
But how did we get here? Because until recently sex toys were often considered shameful and something that needed to be hidden behind blacked out windows in shops labelled 'XXX'.
The Quicky speaks to our resident 'sexpert' to discover the history and evolution of sex toys, which goes back thousands of years and covers pretty much every culture in the world - even if only behind closed doors.
There's a vast array of sex toys on offer for you to explore, and if you want to know which ones women are loving the most right now, check out this article to find out more.

With the cost of private health insurance continually on the rise, you might be wondering what the point of it really is, and whether you might actually be better off financially to ditch your policy and rely on Medicare instead?
But is that true? And do you feel like you have a good understanding of all the different companies, tiers, rebates, caps and other issues associated with this monthly expense?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in private medical insurance, and a GP to find out everything you need to know about finding the right policy for you, and how to maximise the benefits you receive.

Conversations about the dangers of toxic masculinity are not new, but recently a number of posts and videos have been circulating on social media of controversial influencer Andrew Tate, which have reignited the discussion in 2022.
Tate is a proponent of so-called 'real men', but what does that even mean in the present day, and why would any young man be attracted to his extreme views about misogyny and violence?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in gender and violence, and a relationships guru to find out why people are still interested in these outdated ideas, and just how dangerous this ideology is to young men and women.

Over the past few decades, Donald Trump has faced literally thousands of lawsuits, but why has the Federal Bureau of Investigation suddenly taken an interest in his affairs, which resulted in a highly publicised raid on his Florida home recently?
And could an FBI investigation really stop him from re-running as President in 2024?
The Quicky speaks to an American politics expert to find out about all of the dozens of lawsuits currently facing the former President, and whether the FBI investigation could finally lead to him facing criminal charges.

We've seen a number of headlines lately discussing Australia's use of Nuclear Power.
Some Aussies are now wondering if Nuclear is actually an option to help lower the costs of our power bills while also bringing down our carbon emissions.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at whether Nuclear Power is a viable option, and the potential for it to be weaponised not for us, but against us.

We've seen hypnotists make people cluck like chickens, but can they really get into your mind and alter the way you think?
In this episode of The Quicky, we look into whether hypnosis actually works and whether it's a useful tool in the arsenal against our bad habits.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called on Australians to vote yes in a referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. But not everyone is on board, that includes First Nations people too.
In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the arguments for and against the Uluru Statement From The Heart recommendations, and why some believe the referendum could halt debate on the topic for years to come.

A recent study into the state of Australia's Mental Health has revealed some alarming statistics about the states of mind of Aussie women.
In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to The Federal Government's Chief Deputy Medical Officer for Mental Health, Ruth Vine, about whether we're seeing an increase in mental health issues because we really are experiencing an increase, or is it because we're just talking about it more.

This week, there's been a lot of talk about celebrities and their private jets.
Taylor Swift has been accused of being the worst celebrity contributor to climate change, after data revealed her private jet has taken to the skies 170 times in the first 200 days of 2022. Her plane has emitted more than 8000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide.
But, are celebrities and their private jets really to blame for climate change?
In today's episode of The Quicky, we speak to Tim Baxter from The Climate Council about whether changing celeb behaviour can help change the environment.

You've probably seen the videos going viral at the moment that show random acts of kindness. Whether it's a bunch of flowers for a surprised stranger, or paying someone's entire shopping bill. These videos are then posted online for millions to see.
But, is it truly kind to post a video without the subjects consent? What are the impacts?
On this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Dr Clare Southerton, a lecturer in Digital Technology and Pedagogy at La Trobe University about how uploading a video of someone could change how they live.

We've successfully shown our bosses that we can work from home quite efficiently since the pandemic forced us to pivot our work lives, but are we missing out on things as we gain others?
While many say the work life balance they have achieved since moving to a work from home model has been a game changer, but there may be other ways in which those who are working remotely, especially women, may be missing out on career progression.
The Quicky team speaks to an expert to find out how you can keep moving up at work without having to move back into the office.

On July 17 Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finally got married, two decades after they first became engaged, but their incredible reunion has been somewhat overshadowed by JLo's decision to change her name to Mrs Jennifer Lynne Affleck.
Despite the happy occasion, the internet exploded with people complaining about her 'giving in to the patriarchy' and expressing disappointment at the very personal decision of a woman that most of us will never meet, but why do we care?
The Quicky speaks to an entertainment expert and a relationships guru to find out why the decision whether or not to change our name after marriage is still so contentious for women in 2022, and whether doing it really does mean you're not a feminist.

Then we discover what exactly the rules are if you're lucky enough to find something valuable on the street or at a beach, are finders really keepers?
And then we speak to an amazing female athlete to talk about body positivity in sport, and why everyone should feel great about themselves on the pitch or in the pool, no matter what you look like.

This week, records were broken in the UK when the temperature soared into the high 30's and even surpassed 40 degrees celsius in some areas for the first time ever, causing chaos for ambulance services and fire crews who battled widespread heat exhaustion and wildfires.
Despite the threat to human life and property, many Aussies were scoffing at the British for not being able to handle a couple of days of temperatures that we deal with every summer, but is that really fair given their country is not designed to cope with extreme heat?
The Quicky speaks to a climate expert to find out why even just a couple of days of 40+ degrees caused such devastation in Britain, and what could happen if heatwaves such as this become increasingly common in Europe.

Last month, public outrage exploded when it was revealed that former NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro was appointed to a $500,000 a year taxpayer funded trade job in New York that he created while in Parliament.
He subsequently was forced to give up the role after two inquiries were launched looking into how he got the job, both of which remain ongoing.
The Quicky speaks to an Australian politics expert to find out how often ex pollies are given these plum roles, and if the public has any recourse to stop them.

With the Government and health experts warning that a third wave of Covid-19 is about to hit Australia, and as the cold winter drags on, many of us are starting to think more about the long term impacts of Covid-19 on our body.
But what do we really know or not know about 'Long Covid' here in Australia? It seems like several other countries have been talking about this for a long time, but it's only just starting to enter public discussion here.
The Quicky speaks to an expert epidemiologist to find out what exactly Long Covid is, the factors that determine who gets it and who doesn't, and if there's anything you can do to minimise the risk of ongoing symptoms for you and your family.

Since the Federal Government introduced the Home Builder grants program, thousands of Aussies have excitedly applied for the financial assistance to help fulfil their dream of building or seriously renovating their home.
Unfortunately for many people that dream has turned into a nightmare as dozens of building companies have gone bust, and experts are warning that many more construction firms are vulnerable.
The Quicky speaks to a woman for whom this nightmare is her reality, a guru in construction law, and an expert in supply chain management to find out why this is happening, and what can be done to protect people who have already invested in their dream home project.

You might have heard that Aussie farmers have grave concerns that people coming back from their holidays in Bali might be risking bringing a virus back with them, no not Covid-19, but another disease called Foot and Mouth (FMD).
But what exactly is FMD, how do you pick it up, is it a risk to your health, and what can you do to stop it from being introduced into Australia?
The Quicky speaks to a passionate advocate for the farming industry, and Australia's Deputy Chief Vet to find out what you need to know about this disease so we can all do our part to keep our animals safe and our farmers in business.

Australia has become the first country in the world to enable women and people born with a cervix to conduct their own screening for Human Papilloma Virus, in the hope it will encourage more women to get regular check ups.
But how exactly do you go about it yourself, and how can you be sure that you have done a good enough job to get an accurate test result?
The Quicky speaks to a gynaecologist and a cervical cancer expert to find out why this new measure has been introduced, and provide a friendly how-to guide for swabbing the inside of your own vagina.

Winter is well and truly here and so is a third wave of the pandemic, with experts warning that case numbers of Covid-19 are set to spiral significantly over the coming weeks.
But how concerned should we be now that we are 'living with Covid'? Could we really see a return to some of our most hated restrictions including widespread mask wearing, suspension of elective surgery, and even... lockdowns?
The Quicky speaks to an expert epidemiologist and a GP to find out what this means for you and your family, everything you need to know about getting a fourth booster jab, and what you can do to stay safe.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has finally announced his resignation as Conservative Party leader after 50 MPs and senior colleagues quit over his latest scandal, involving the appointment of an MP to a top job even though Boris knew he was accused of sexual misconduct.
But why has it taken so long to oust him, given that he has been embroiled in one scandal after another for decades? What happens now in Westminster and who is most likely to be Boris' successor?
The Quicky speaks to a former British MP who spent nearly two decades serving the public to find out how Boris Johnson managed to rise to power despite a litany of affairs and controversies, and who is now battling it out to replace him.

You may have heard some news reports about a new infestation of varroa mites that are infecting millions of bees in NSW, threatening the whole of Australia's honey industry as beekeepers are being forced to destroy tens of thousands of hives.
But what exactly are these tiny insects, why is this happening now, and what is the risk to all of Australia's agricultural sector if there are not enough bees left to pollinate our crops?
The Quicky speaks to a beekeeper and an expert in food resources to find out if this could destroy Australia's honey industry, or if there is a way to turn this situation to our advantage.

It's NAIDOC Week 2022 and this year's theme is: Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! So how can non-indigenous Australians recognise their white privilege and help make systemic change to keep rallying around First Nations Australians?
The Labor Government has committed to the Uluru Statement From The Heart, and the New South Wales Government has promised to erect a permanent Aboriginal flag on the Sydney Harbour Bridge by the end of the year, so what's next?
The Quicky speaks to two well-known First Nations women to find out how white privilege continues to hurt Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, and what we can all do to help progress the cause of reconciliation in this country.

Australia's airline industry is now seeing demand that is back to pre-pandemic levels, with millions of us jetting off overseas or to another state for a much needed getaway, but the dream can quickly become a nightmare once you arrive at the airport.
Cancellations, delays, lost baggage and a whole host of other issues are creating chaos for travellers and airport staff before you even manage to board your flight, but what is actually causing all these disruptions?
The Quicky speaks to a woman who recently experienced one of the worst trips of her life trying to get to Europe, and an Australian airports spokesperson to try and get to the bottom of what is going on.

Following the recent decision by the US Supreme Court to repeal women's constitutional right to have an abortion, it seems the six conservative judges on the bench now have a number of other social and political issues in their sights.
Advocates for LGBTIQA+, free press, firearms restrictions and much more are bracing for attacks on their rights, as those six extremely powerful individuals seem determined to drag America back into the dark ages.
The Quicky speaks to a human rights law expert and a journalist who has spent decades researching and reporting on the United States, to find out what other aspects of American rights and freedoms are now seriously at risk.

It's that time of year again when we have to dig out all of our old receipts and start crunching the numbers as we prepare our tax return, or if we're lucky, pass all that info on to our accountant to do it for us.
But the past 12 months have been like no other, as many of us grappled with disaster relief payments, Job Keeper, Job Seeker, and all manner of unusual purchases like RATs, face masks, etc. So what exactly can and can't you claim as a legitimate deduction?
The Quicky speaks to a finance expert to find out what the ATO will be cracking down on this time round, and what you need to watch out for when it comes to making claims about working from home.

More and more sporting codes are introducing new bans on trans women who want to participate in those sports at an elite level, but why has this suddenly become an issue, and how many people are really going to be impacted?
Some have argued it is necessary to maintain fairness in women's sport, but for others, this is just another excuse to target and marginalise an already vulnerable and often ostracised community.
The Quicky speaks to a professional trans woman athlete to find out what impact these bans are really having on the LGBTQIA+ community, and whether there might be a fairer solution for all involved.

Over the weekend millions of women's worst fears were realised, when the US Supreme Court overturned the court case known as Roe V. Wade, which had since 1973 granted women in America a legal right to abortion.
As soon as the majority of Supreme Court judges made their decision, a number of states immediately started making abortion illegal in all cases, even if the mother has been raped or the child was conceived through incest. So what happens now?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in reproductive rights to find out how so many states have already managed to introduce laws making abortion illegal, and what could happen next in a country that appears from the outside to be imploding.

The NSW Government recently announced a serious shake up to Stamp Duty, promising that from 2023, First Home Buyers will be able to choose between paying this up front, or paying an annual fee plus a percentage of the land value, known as land tax.
But why does the government even need this money? And will the change really help those people trying to get a foot on the ladder, or should our politicians be doing more?
The Quicky speaks to a would-be First Home Buyer, and a property market expert to find out what it will take to really solve the housing affordability crisis in Australia.

The average Australian wedding now costs a whopping $36,000, and while for many people that amount of money is simply unobtainable, it seems more and more couples are finding new ways of raising extra cash to have the the big day of their dreams.
One of those methods is an increasing trend for brides and grooms to ask friends and family to chip in for the event, to cover everything from the meal, to extravagant extras like fireworks and luxury honeymoons, but is that ok?
The Quicky speaks to a wedding expert, and a couple of married women to find out whether this is fair game, or if it's a very rude way of getting other people to fund a ridiculously over the top wedding that you really can't afford.

When the Nadesalingam family recently returned to their adopted Queensland home of Biloela, there was great relief as it brought to an end a years-long nightmare for Priya, Nades and their two young daughters.
But what does their happy ending mean for the thousands of people currently in detention in Australia, or who may end up there with reports suggesting that thousands more Sri Lankans are desperate to flee their homeland for a safer life?
The Quicky speaks to a human rights expert to find out where Australia stands on our border policy and 'turning back the boats' under the new Labor Government, and what that means for millions of Sri Lankans who are living in turmoil.

There have been a lot of popular Aussie dads on TV over the years, all of them very similar - white, grumpy and not really that involved with their kids, but now we have some more modern role models like Bandit from Bluey, and Hamish Blake.
So why have they come under fire recently for perhaps not being quite as good as we like to think? And why do Aussie dads in popular culture still fit the traditional "Larrikin" stereotype?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in creative arts who isn't convinced about these so-called "perfect" TV dads, to consider whether our expectations of men continue to be so much lower than that of women, that it actually makes us think they are a lot better than they really are.

In some parts of Australia temperatures have reached 100 year lows, with much of the country feeling a lot colder than usual which is having serious impacts on our power grid and food prices.
But why is this winter off to such a chilly start, especially when we keep hearing that global warming is a serious problem? And how is this causing sky high food prices and a shortage of lettuce on supermarket shelves?
The Quicky speaks to a weather expert, a guru in our fruit and vegetable industry, and a lettuce farmer to find out what the heck is going on, and when and if things will get back to normal.

Earlier this week, actor Rebel Wilson found herself being forced into making a choice: come out to the world and publicly state that she is in a relationship with fashion designer Ramona Agruma, or face being "outed" by a gossip columnist.
Rebel's choice to announce her relationship on her own terms was widely applauded, as many felt it was unfair that she'd been forced to disclose who she was dating to begin with, and wondered why is a woman dating another woman considered headline news in 2022?
The Quicky speaks to a queer studies academic, an advocate for the LGBTIQA+ community, and a celebrity who faced her own public coming out, to find out what impact the threat of being publicly "outed" has on a person, whether they are famous or not.

Recently three seemingly very different topics collided on the internet to create the perfect storm - Mormons, TikTok and swinging - when a 28-year-old married mother went into great detail about her and her friends sexual activities.
But what's it really like to be a swinger, and how can you be a true Mormon and have sex with people other than your spouse?
The Quicky speaks to three women who range from dabblers to full on enthusiasts to lift the lid on this often hidden part of society to find out what it's really like to be a swinger.

You might have heard a lot of news recently about Aussie billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes and his attempts to buy energy company AGL so that he can influence their future plans for renewable energy.
But who exactly is this guy, and why is a software developer so interested in climate change? Can he and his billionaire friends like Elon Musk actually do anything to save the fate of our planet?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in the world of high rolling businesspeople to find out whether Mike Cannon-Brookes is Australia's answer to Bruce Wayne, and what he can realistically do to change our climate policies for the better.

New research has found that more than half of all Aussie teachers are planning to quit their jobs, as low wages, excessive amounts of admin and poor working conditions continue to take their toll.
But is it really all that bad, and if so, why isn't more being done to help them stay in the job they love, and that is so important within our community?
The Quicky speaks to two teachers, one who has resigned and one who is thinking about quitting, to find out how the situation has become so bad, and what can change to ensure that people who dedicate themselves to educating children stick with their career.

The Spanish Government recently announced that it is considering creating new laws that would give employees the right to take between 3 and 5 days off every month if they suffer from severe period pain.
Several other countries around the world already have period leave, so should our Government consider implementing the same laws for people here?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in women's health, and a specialist doctor to find out whether period leave is necessary for female workers, and if and how it could work here in Australia without bankrupting businesses.

Last month, one of the music industry's biggest artists, Halsey posted a video on her social media that was viewed by 8 million people in just 24 hours, but not for the reasons her record label was hoping.
After she spoke out about not being allowed to release her new song unless they could 'fake' a viral moment on TikTok, numerous other artists came forward to say they too were being pressured to create content instead of focusing on their music.
The Quicky speaks to two entertainment and music experts to find out whether the music industry has now become so commercialised that it's actually no longer about the songs, and all about the likes and social media following, and what musicians can do to push back.

Squabbling with your siblings is pretty common when you're kids, but what happens if that escalates into a full-blown rivalry, or something even worse when you become adults?
Is it inevitable that you will always feel in some kind of competition with your brothers and sisters, or can some siblings have fantastic relationships throughout their lives? Is it a case of nurture rather than nature, meaning that parents can take steps to ensure you get along?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in family relationships to find out what the psychology behind sibling rivalry is, and what both parents and kids can do to stop it before it escalates.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's divorce has been one of the most acrimonious in Hollywood history, and their recent defamation trial in the US made for compelling viewing for millions of people who were firmly on "Team Johnny".
But wile the case may now be over, for many other survivors of domestic violence the fallout from the jury's verdict is only just beginning, as millions of women will now find it harder than ever to speak out against their abuser.
The Quicky speaks to two domestic violence experts, and a survivor about why the true cost of this case is going to be about a lot more than $15 million dollars.

The world is still reeling from a mass shooting in Texas that killed 19 children and two teachers last month, but already there have been more massacres in the United States, which is averaging more than one a day.
Australia has also experienced mass shootings in the past, including most notably Port Arthur, but what has happened since then? Have the laws really managed to keep our streets as weapons-free as we would like to think?
The Quicky speaks to two experts in gun violence and control to find out whether John Howard's reforms have kept gun crime in Australia to a minimum, or if more work needs to be done.

It's been nine months since the Taliban regained full control of Afghanistan, and despite their assurances to the international community that this time around they would be more respectful of women and girls, they are once again repressing half of the population.
New laws and regulations restricting the freedoms, rights and movement of all women and girls continue to be introduced, including most recently a ban on all women from showing their faces in public, including on TV.
The Quicky speaks to a woman who fled Afghanistan with her family about how the country is being gradually destroyed by the Taliban, as we look into how restricted daily life has become for millions of people, and what if anything is being done to stop it.
Maria Aziz operates an organisation in Western Australia called AFG Young Leaders that aims to empower Afghan-Australian youth, and recently launched a GoFundMe appeal seeking donations to help support new Afghan arrivals with mental health services, torture and trauma counselling and accommodation.
You can also read more about Maria's story here.

It's officially the first day of winter but for millions of people across the country, recent freezing temperatures and storms mean that the cold and flu season is already well underway.
Flu cases in particular have exploded across Australia, forcing many states to take the unprecedented step of offering free flu vaccines to everyone, but after more than two years of pandemic are we feeling a bit fatigued when it comes to getting more jabs?
The Quicky speaks to a doctor and three people who've recently had the flu to find out why it's never been more important to protect ourselves and our family.

If you've ever heard the adage 'summer bodies are built in winter' you might be tempted to take part in a fitness challenge at your local gym, or follow one of the hundreds of challenges that are popular with fitness influencers on social media.
But how effective are they really, and could you in fact be doing more harm than good to your body, or your long-term goals, especially if your exercise regime has slipped off during the pandemic?
The Quicky speaks to a well-known woman who recently spoke out about her own fitness challenge experiences, and an expert in physical activity to find out whether they are really helpful or harmful to your health and wellbeing.

Five years after the Uluru Statement from the Heart was gifted to the Australian people, it seems the new Labor Government is finally willing to implement it after the previous Government resisted.
But what exactly is it, how do we go about bringing it into force, and how will it impact you?
The Quicky speaks to a First Nations scholar, and an expert in Australian history and culture to unpack everything you need to know about the Statement, and why you will have the final say on whether or not First Nations people finally get a voice in Parliament.

It's been nearly three years since WAG Coleen Rooney kicked off what has been dubbed the 'Wagatha Christie' scandal, after she set a trap for and then outed fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy for allegedly selling fake stories about her to the British tabloids.
Now the case is in the High Court after Rebekah claimed Coleen had defamed her, but no matter what the outcome of this particular situation, it raises a much bigger question: can you ever forgive a friend who has betrayed your trust?
The Quicky speaks to one of our own experts on British news, and a relationship guru to find out why this case has dominated headlines around the world, and if and how we can repair own own friendships after someone has really let us down.

It's fair to say there's been a lot of panic about the new spread of Monkeypox in Europe, North America and now Australia, but as we're still dealing with Covid-19 it's understandable as no-one wants to live through another pandemic.
You might be particularly concerned because it seems very hard to pin down accurate information about why Monkeypox is suddenly being transmitted around the world, and what it actually is or does to our health?
That is why in this episode The Quicky speaks to an expert in infectious diseases to break down what exactly this disease is, and why we need to be informed, but not alarmed.

It was a result that no-one saw coming, despite all the pre-election commentary that predicted women would decide the outcome, and it seems we've chosen a swathe of professional women to replace conservative male MPs in even the safest of seats.
So what pushed us to create one of the biggest political overhauls we may ever see in Parliament in our lifetime? It is just because we desperately want action on climate change and trust the 'Teal Independents' to finally get us there, or is there more to this story?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in women and Australian politics to find out how we came together to disrupt the status quo, and whether we might have finally have overthrown the political patriarchy for good.

Fast fashion brands have never been more popular, pumping out tens of thousands of new designs every week at rock-bottom prices, with countless social media influencers showing off their 'hauls' on Instagram and TikTok.
But how are these clothes made so quickly, and at such a low cost to us as consumers? Is it all a result of slave labour and terrible environmental practices, or are they some benefits of fast fashion?
The Quicky speaks to two fashion experts to find out exactly what counts as 'fast fashion', why it's so hard for us to give up, whether it is the only option for diverse body types, and if there is a reasonably priced alternative.
If you want to know more about sustainable and humane textile manufacturing overseas, the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh works towards a safe and healthy garment and textile industry in Bangladesh.

After weeks of campaigning, the voting is over, but as the winners prepare to take up their new roles in Parliament, perhaps you're thinking we should spare a thought for the losers... and what actually happens to them anyway?
The Quicky speaks to three experts in Australian politics to find out what it means to lose an election (and your job), whether you're the Prime Minister of Australia, party leader, a backbencher, or a bureaucrat who was never known to the public anyway.

It's well known that in many relationships, women undertake the majority of the housework, mental load, and caring responsibilities, but new research has found that men often also steal time from their partners so that they can exercise.
This means the woman will stay at home and give up even more of her precious time to carry out additional household duties, while the man has extra time off to work out.
To find out how we know this to be true, and what can be done to counteract it, The Quicky speaks to the co-author of the study, and several of you to discuss how common this is, and what we can do to reclaim our own time.

Every Australian aged 50 or over will receive regular bowel screening kits to test for cancer and other complications, but there are now calls to make these tests available to younger people, as it turns out this isn't a condition that only affects older generations.
A growing number of women especially - including those in their 20's and 30's - are developing bowel cancer, but often don't realise until it is too late as we still wrongly think of this as an 'older person's disease'.
The Quicky speaks to two women who were diagnosed with bowel cancer in their 30's and 40's, and a specialist surgeon to find out who is at risk of bowel cancer, what symptoms to look out for, and why it seems to be increasingly common.

With just days to go until the Federal election, both the major parties have announced new policies designed to attract the votes of, and allegedly help, first home buyers.
But what of the Coalition's plan to allow people to access up to $50,000 of their Superannuation to help pay for the deposit on their first home; is it a good idea that will genuinely help you get on the housing ladder, or a disaster for your retirement?
The Quicky speaks to a Superannuation expert to find out everything you need to know before you cast your vote this Saturday.

When you move in with a partner, how to manage your finances for household bills and spending money is a really important conversation to have, but it can be very difficult.
Where do you stand on joint versus separate finances? Do you have one bank account where all your money goes in and out? Do you keep all of your dollars separate and transfer between you as and when needed? Or perhaps a combination of both?
The Quicky speaks to two financial experts to consider what the options are, how they can impact your long term financial situation, and what happens if your relationship breaks down.
If you're separating from a partner, MoneySmart has a checklist to help you organise your finances after a break-up.

There are currently more cooking competitions on TV than ever before, as it seems we just can't get enough of all the different variations of professionals and amateurs competing for a culinary prize, but why do we love these programs so much?
And it's not just about being a passive observer, many of us also love to participate in a cook off in our own lives, whether it be at the local Easter show or with a group of friends.
The Quicky speaks to a Masterchef contestant, two friends who host an annual cooking competition, and a psychologist to find out why we seemingly love nothing more than getting competitive in the kitchen.

Hollywood actor Bill Murray has been a firm favourite with audiences for decades, so when news broke last month that his latest film had to stop shooting after just three days because of his inappropriate behaviour, many people were shocked.
Lucy Liu was probably not one of them though, as she claims that his actions had been problematic on the set of Charlie's Angels back in the year 2000, and it was revealed he also caused problems on the set of the 90's film 'What About Bob?'
So the question is, can you ever teach an 'old dog' new tricks and change their words and actions to ensure their conduct is appropriate in 2022, or is there no hope?
The Quicky speaks to an expert psychologist and an older man who admits he needs some guidance to update his thinking, to find out what practical tools and advice you can employ in your own life to help change the ways of the ones you love for the better.

Last week, women across the world were furious when a leaked document revealed the US Supreme Court is considering overturning a ruling from 50 years ago that gives women the legal right to have an abortion, putting all American women's reproductive rights at risk.
Many have queried how and why the document was leaked, but the bigger questions are why are these judges even considering overturning Roe V. Wade, and what will happen to all the women who need access to abortions for a wide variety of reasons?
The Quicky speaks to an international law expert and four women who have had abortions for different reasons, to find out just how dangerous this ruling could be to the health and wellbeing of all women, including in Australia.

It's now less than two weeks until 17 million Aussies will head to the local polling station to cast their vote in the Federal election and hopefully get a free democracy sausage to celebrate.
But what happens if you don't know who to vote for? Or maybe you don't really understand how our preferential voting system works anyway? And how do you cut through all the noise and work out who actually stands for what?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in Australian politics to answer some of your biggest questions that you've always wanted to know about elections and voting, so you can feel confident when you go to choose your favourite candidate on May 21.

Imagine every day you go to work and not only are you confronted by a crowd of people telling you how terrible you are at your job, but that the reason you're terrible at your job is because you're a woman.
That's what female umpires face when they step out to referee sports across the country, and with a damning report into the culture of AFL umpiring, it's been revealed that the abuse is not just coming from the crowd but from within their own ranks too.
The Quicky team speaks to a former umpire and author of that report to find out what's turning women away from doing a job they love.

Since the Reserve Bank of Australia announced a much-anticipated rise in the interest rate earlier this week, there has been a lot of speculation about how this will impact inflation, house prices, and the general cost of living which we all know is on the rise.
But how do we crunch the numbers and understand what any of this actually means for our own household budget and bottom line at the end of each month?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in economics, and a housing market guru to find out exactly how the interest rate impacts our economy, and what it means for you personally, no matter what your financial situation.

Many companies are now asking their employees to return to the office on two, three or even five days a week as we increasingly go back to 'normal life' after two years of pandemic lockdowns and working from home.
But what happens if you don't want or feel the need to get back into the daily grind, spending hours commuting and spending a fortune on petrol and expensive lunches in the city?
The Quicky speaks to an employment expert, and a number of women who have all sought to continue working from home, to find out whether you as an employee can demand that your improved work-life balance remains in tact.

It's been over five years since Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's divorce was finalised, so why are we still seeing horrendous scenes play out in a US courtroom, with all the gory details of their tumultuous relationship on public display?
And why does it seem so many people on the internet have already decided that one of them is the abuser, and the other the victim, when most of us have never met either of these famous actors?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in media law, and a relationship psychologist to discuss why we feel compelled to take sides in this defamation case, and the dangers of thinking we know one way or another who is to blame.
*Please note in this episode, the testimony of Amber Heard is read by a member of our team.

In recent weeks, you may have seen some news articles about Russian President Vladimir Putin, speculating that he is secretly very sick with - depending on which reports you read - either Parkinson's disease or cancer.
But is there any truth to these rumours, including that he has been bathing in the blood of deer antlers in a desperate bid to get better, or is it just wishful thinking on the part of those of us who want the conflict in Ukraine to end as soon as possible?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in Russian politics and culture to find out what evidence there is to support the suggestion that Putin is gravely ill, and what it would mean for Russia, Ukraine and the rest of the world if it is in fact true.

Over the past couple of weeks, there has been a lot of concern about a new security deal that the Solomon Islands have signed with China, even though we don't really know much about what it contains.
Nonetheless, many critics have suggested that it was a massive failing on the part of our Federal Government that more wasn't done to stop the deal from happening, as it could potentially threaten Australia's security with China's increasing influence in the region.
The Quicky speaks to an expert in Australian politics, and an academic focused on the Pacific to find out what exactly the pact may entail, how it could impact Australia, and just how concerned you need to be.

During the past couple of years, you might have had to cancel a few holidays, and for many of us that means we received flight credits for those trips we simply couldn't take.
In fact, so many of us are in this position, it turns out that the airlines are currently sitting on billions of dollars of our money - so why does it seem so difficult to try and book a new trip using these credits now things are getting back to normal?
The Quicky speaks to a woman who got stuck with flight credits early on in the pandemic that she still hasn't been able to use, a travel expert, and a consumer affairs guru to find out if and how you can ever actually get your money's worth.

Every time an election comes round, it seems that we always have to find a vulnerable group to be the political punching bag for no apparent reason... refugees, migrants, gay couples and now trans women, but why?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in Australian politics and two trans women to find out why it seems politicians are determined to use vulnerable people to try and score points, and what it feels like when you unwillingly become the election controversy.

Covid-19 restrictions in Australia have eased further over the weekend as we continue to adjust to living with the virus, but for the more than 25 million people who call Shanghai home, life looks very different as they remain in one of the world's toughest lockdowns.
Reports of people being forced to stay in their homes without even basic food, medicines and other essentials are widespread, even though the Chinese Government is trying to play them down.
The Quicky speaks to a woman who recently escaped from Shanghai and an expert in China to find out what is really going on in one of Asia's biggest cities, and why the Communist Government is still pursuing a policy of Covid zero when everyone else has determined that it's just not realistic.

We know that ANZAC Day is a time to pause and spare a thought for the brave men and women who serve in our defence forces to keep Australia safe, but have you ever thought about what life is like for the military families who get left behind?

Dating in 2022 is hard enough, but trying to get back on the scene after the tragic death of a partner is even more difficult, particularly if it's been a long time since you had to think about going out on dates and meeting prospective new partners.
Being a widow or widower comes with a whole host of complex emotions for you, but also your friends and family who may all have very strong feelings about when you should or shouldn't 'get back out there' and find new love.
The Quicky speaks to two women who've been widowed about their experiences, how they have since helped others, and where they found the courage to once again let go and fall in love.

After two years of living through a pandemic and with the colder winter months approaching, it can be very tempting to rush down to your local chemist and pick up a whole host of supplements and vitamins to try and stay healthy.
But could you actually be doing yourself more harm than good if you haven't sought out any professional medical advice about what to take and how much, beforehand?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in supplements, and one of our Mamamia colleagues who thinks she may have contributed to her own health issue with too many vitamins, about what you need to know before taking all the preventative pills and potions on offer.

If there's been one silver lining from the pandemic, it's that over the past two winters, flu cases and deaths had dropped significantly as we've all been in lockdown, washing our hands more and wearing masks.
But with nearly all restrictions removed ahead of this winter, there seem to be some very mixed messages about how the flu will interact with Covid-19 as we prepare to enter the colder months once again.
The Quicky speaks to a medical professional and a woman whose uncle died from the flu pre-pandemic to find out what you really need to know about keeping safe and well this winter.

The illegal drug often referred to as 'ice', but also 'meth' or 'crystal meth' is the most commonly used illicit drug in Australia, and people living in regional areas are more likely than those in cities to be addicted to it.
But despite the devastating impact it has on users, not everyone who is hooked on ice looks like the stereotype of a drug addict, like Andrea who from the outside had it all - a millionaire lifestyle and wonderful children - but still succumbed to addiction.
The Quicky speaks to Andrea about how she was introduced and got hooked on ice, how she managed to get off it, and what she wants you to know if you've ever been tempted to give it a try.
If you are struggling with addiction, you can speak to someone at Lifeline 24/7 on 13 11 14.

With more devastating reports from Ukraine of horrific crimes including massacres, torture and rape being committed by Russian forces against civilians, there are increasing calls for Russian President Vladimir Putin and his soldiers to be prosecuted for war crimes.
But who actually has the authority to make them face consequences for these horrendous acts, and would that really put an end to the conflict given that such trials have in the past taken years to reach a verdict?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in international law to find out what is and isn't possible when it comes to holding Russia to account.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison is still as yet to set a date for the upcoming Federal election, but we know that it will have to take place sometime in May.
In preparation, Mamamia asked you what the most important issues are when it comes to deciding how you will vote, and perhaps unsurprisingly climate change came out as the number one priority.
So in this election special, The Quicky speaks to all three of the major parties, and an Independent candidate to find out where they stand on climate change, and what they will do if you vote them in to power.

Thankfully there are now a lot of resources and information about menopause for women and their families, but sadly the same can't be said about perimenopause, even though this phase of our lives can last for several years.
The Quicky speaks to two experts, and a woman whose own isolating experience of perimenopause led her to start a business, to find out everything you need to know about this important time in your life.
If you want more expert advice, from the people who really know perimenopause, you can join Mamamia’s Very Peri Summit.
Over two nights, some of the world’s top peri experts will be interviewed by our in-house talent, including The Quicky’s very own Executive Producer, Siobhán Moran-McFarlane.
Find out more from Dr Lara Briden, Dr Sonia Davison and others including international sexpert Tracey Cox, psychologist Sandy Rea, and many, many more.
The Summit covers everything from what exactly perimenopause is, to what it does to our bodies, and how to manage symptoms. This is your shortcut to avoid years of struggle. You don't just have to suck it up.
Streaming online in the evening on May 3rd and and 4th, the Very Peri summit is now on sale. Go to veryperisummit.com to get your early bird discount tickets for $49, which includes on-demand access so you can watch in real-time, or whenever it suits you.

Last month, Prince William and Kate Middleton completed their first official overseas Royal Tour since before the pandemic, but a number of hiccups along the way led some media outlets to describe it as a "disaster".
But was it really all that bad? What's the point of a Royal Tour in the Queen's Jubilee year anyway? And are other Commonwealth countries really thinking about following Barbados and becoming Republics?
To find out what really went down, and whether what happens on a Royal tour stays on a Royal tour, The Quicky speaks to an expert in Europe's royal families to consider whether this has done lasting damage, or if their popularity will endure.

At the start of the pandemic there was a lot of misinformation suggesting that we couldn't be reinfected with coronavirus more than once, but we now know that is simply not the case, and we can in fact contract Covid-19 multiple times.
But why is it that some people seem susceptible to falling prey to different variants, even quite close together, while others seem to remain immune, even when they've been surrounded by people who are very unwell?
The Quicky speaks to an expert epidemiologist to find out what factors determine whether you are more or less vulnerable to catching Covid-19 more than once, and if there is anything you can do to reduce your risk.

Last week, Bruce Willis' family released a statement that the Hollywood favourite is retiring from acting as he has been diagnosed with the medical condition Aphasia.
But what exactly is Aphasia, and what does it mean for the everyday lives of more than 140,000 Aussies who also live with this condition?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in speech and language, and a woman who acquired Aphasia after having a stroke at the age of 33 to find out what it is, how it impacts your body, and the available treatment options helping those people to continue with their lives.
If you'd like more information about Aphasia, or access to resources and support, the Australian Aphasia Association (AAA) is a not-for-profit support and advocacy association and registered charity for people with Aphasia, their families, and the professionals who help them.

It's been two years since the Federal Government implemented a ban on international cruise ships from entering Australian ports following a number of high-profile Covid-19 outbreaks at sea, but from April 17 the restrictions will finally be lifted.
Many of us are desperate to set sail once again, but what's being done to ensure that passengers and crew can safely step on board while coronavirus continues to infect thousands of people every day?

On one of Australia's biggest reality television shows, the fallout from what has been labelled a 'nude photo scandal' continues, with two young women being publicly pitted against each other, after one shared a naked image of the other.
But why do we continue to frame these issues in a way that implies that a woman should be ashamed of her naked body, instead of focusing on the person who chooses to share these images maliciously?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in social media, and a mother whose daughter was blackmailed with nude photos, to find out how we can stop weaponising images of women and girls.

As the inquest continues into the death of Hannah Clarke and her three children at the hands of her estranged husband, grim details about a string of abuses that occurred in the lead-up to their violent murders are coming to light.
At the same time, in a very different part of the world, people are watching on as Kim Kardashian continues to face harassment from her ex-husband Kanye West, but despite all her wealth and power it seems no-one is willing to intervene.
The Quicky speaks to a family violence prevention specialist, and a family law expert to find out what measures we can all take when we witness concerning and escalating behaviour, in the hope that we can stop violent acts occurring and get people the help they need.

Red lipstick has been worn for thousands of years across many different genders and cultures, interpreted as a sign of power, feminism, sexuality and pride.
But why do we place so much emphasis on this particular beauty product? And why do some of us either love or loathe wearing it?

It's been one month since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to invade Ukraine.
Since then, rolling news coverage has brought the horrors of the conflict into our homes, but what is it like for Australian-Ukrainians and those who still have family in Europe having to watch these events unfold on screen?
The Quicky speaks to two Ukrainian women about their personal experiences, including how they or their relatives have or haven't escaped, and what we can all do to show our support and offer practical support as we hope for an end to the violence.

Every year, tens of thousands of Aussies undergo weight loss surgery in a bid to finally regain control of their health, a process that comes at great personal and economic cost, yet the procedure is still regularly treated with disdain by others.
So why is bariatric surgery to help people who can't lose weight any other way seen by some as 'cheating', even when diet and exercise have failed to help them?
The Quicky speaks to an expert bariatric surgeon, a GP and a woman who has had the operation to dispel the myths and judgement, and find out what is really involved in having weight loss surgery.

As humid and wet weather continues to impact millions of Aussies, you might find that your favourite jacket, shoes or even your walls are increasingly being covered with mould.
It's not just gross, it can also be a real risk to your health, especially if you or someone else in your home has asthma, or is vulnerable in other ways, so how can you safely remove it without further risking your wellbeing or just having a big dumpster fire?
The Quicky speaks to one woman who is concerned for her newborn baby as their house is being taken over by mould, an expert researcher who specialises in the fungi, and a professional mould remover to find out how to rid your home of it for good.

As petrol prices continue to soar past $2 a litre, there are now reports that we could be paying up to $7 for a coffee by the end of the year! So what is going on with the cost of living in Australia, and why is everything getting so expensive?
The Quicky speaks to an expert economist to find out the reasons behind the price surges on everyday products, how long we can expect big bills at the checkout, and whether the cost of anything is going to come down?

If you take a look at the back of your closet, what do you see? Perhaps something from your childhood, a favourite outfit from your youth, or even a hand-me-down garment from an older relative?
Many of us keep clothes that no longer fit, we haven't worn for years and will likely never put on ever again, so why do we hold on to them?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in identity and clothing to find out how our emotional ties to old clothes say a lot about who we were, and who we still are today, even if we are wearing a whole new wardrobe.

Just when you thought talking about viruses was a thing of the past, a new illness spread through mosquito bites has resurfaced in Australia amid all of the wet and humid weather.
Japanese Encephalitis was first discovered over 100 years ago, but its sudden resurgence particularly down the east coast is causing some concern among the scientific community and the public, but how worried should you be?
The Quicky speaks to two experts in infectious diseases to learn more about Japanese Encephalitis Virus or 'JEV' as it's also known, to find out how widespread it could become, and whether you need to ask for a vaccine to keep you and your family safe.

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, you might have started hear more and more about a group of super-rich men referred to as 'oligarchs' who are increasingly being targeted with sanctions.
But who are these billionaires, what is their relationship with Putin, and could we be unknowingly helping to fund the war in Ukraine through them?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in Russian politics and economy to find out how these people became so rich, where all their money is hidden, how much influence they have over the outcome of the conflict, and whether they might be headed to Australia.

In the past two weeks, three well known Australians all aged 52 have suffered serious heart attacks, tragically leaving two of those people deceased and the third needing to undergo a life-saving operation.
Is it just a coincidence that Shane Warne, Senator Kimberley Kitching and former AFL player Dean Wallis all suffered similar medical episodes at the same age, or are there things we can learn from their experience about how to look after our heart health?
The Quicky speaks to an expert cardiologist to find out who is most at risk of a heart attack, and what we can all do to protect ourselves and our loved ones as we get older.

The recent flooding in New South Wales and Queensland has left thousands of people homeless, as entire towns were enveloped by rising floodwaters, with many still at risk.
While floods and extreme weather are not uncommon in Australia, they are happening more frequently and with greater intensity, so it is time to re-think how we rebuild and recover from these disasters?
The Quicky speaks to a regional NSW MP who has lost her own home in the floods, and an expert in urban planning and climate change to discuss what the options are to keep our homes and towns safe when the next major flood event takes place.

For thousands of years women have had a unique relationship with cats in many different cultures, often associated with fertility and protection, yet somehow in modern representations, women with cats are often portrayed as sad and lonely.
So how did we go from revering women with cats, to pitying and stereotyping them as 'crazy'?
The Quicky speaks to two experts of cats and the history of the 'crazy cat lady' trope, and a whole lot of self-confessed cat ladies to discuss why people who love cats are not sad, but in fact amazing individuals who have a special relationship with these beautiful creatures.

You might have seen a new ad on TV targeting women telling us that we should stop drinking alcohol as soon as we start trying for a baby, which goes beyond the traditional advice that we need to abstain from booze once we actually become pregnant.
So what has brought about this new campaign, and why is it that the opinions and advice about how much alcohol is safe to consume during pregnancy and when seems to vary wildly from one source to another?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in alcohol research, and a woman who was dependent on alcohol during her pregnancy to find out what the risks are when it comes to Foetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).

It's been nearly two weeks since Russia invaded Ukraine, and already there are reports that thousands of people have died, and numerous efforts to end the conflict peacefully through diplomatic talks between the two nations have failed.
Everyone witnessing the violence is desperate for the devastation to stop and the conflict to end once and for all, but how can peace be achieved when Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be showing no mercy?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in international security to consider what the realistic options are for an end to the hostilities, and what impacts they may have on not only the people of Europe, but for the entire world.

When Australia's international border finally reopened in November, many of us started immediately planning and booking that much longed for trip overseas, feeling relieved that we'd finally be able to see loved ones and the world once again.
But with the emergence of conflict in Ukraine, which is impacting many countries in Europe, airlines had to urgently start diverting planes away from the whole region, making your journey even more complicated.
The Quicky speaks to a travel expert, and one of our own colleagues who is concerned about her impending trip to Greece to find out whether it is still safe to plan a holiday, or if international travel is back off the agenda for the foreseeable future.

It feels like every year we're told that the Australian property bubble is about to burst and we should all be poised to rush out and buy our dream home at a bargain price, but could this actually be a reality in 2022 and beyond?
Philip Lowe, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia has hinted that record low interest rates could finally rise later this year, but while that should slow down house prices, it would also mean more expensive mortgages, so who really benefits?
The Quicky speaks to a housing market expert to find out what it would actually mean for both buyers and sellers if the much anticipated drop in property prices actually happens in the not-too-distant future.

For weeks rain has continued to pour down across much of the east coast of Australia, causing floods of historic proportions in many towns and cities, cutting people off from communities and help.
Tragically several people and countless animals have died, and while flood waters in some areas are starting to recede, the danger is far from over.
The Quicky speaks to a woman trapped in Lismore with her family, and an emergency services commander to hear from those people directly impacted to find out what it's like for those currently living through this disaster.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is front and centre in news headlines as his country continues its efforts to repel the Russian military following the invasion late last week, but how much do we really know about him?
You might have heard that he used to be a comic and actor, who almost lucked his way into the top job after playing the Ukrainian President on TV, but is that true? And has he really become a hero just one week into the conflict?
The Quicky speak to an expert in Ukrainian society and politics to find out who this man is, and whether he really will be able to stand up to Russian President Vladimir Putin and bring an end to the violence before it escalates further.

If you are or have ever been a woman aged anywhere between about 16 and 50, no doubt you will have been asked at some point whether you're pregnant, or when you're planning to have a baby, but why does anyone think it's their business to ask?
It can be not only incredibly annoying, but also upsetting if it impacts your body image, triggering if you have struggled with fertility, and just downright frustrating if you have zero interest in giving birth.
To find out why this is still such a common problem, The Quicky speaks to one of our own resident mums who has had a very complicated journey to parenthood, and knows first hand just how irritating it is for all women whether they want to become a parent or not.

Have you ever received an unsolicited dick pic? If you said yes, you're not alone.
Millions of women and men all over the world are being sent pictures of someone's junk every day and despite many of us saying we don't want to receive them, men continue to send them.
In this episode we look at the psychology of dick pics, why men send them and what they're hoping to get in return.

Late yesterday afternoon our time, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a live televised address, saying Russia had no intention of occupying Ukraine. Then minutes after that TV appearance authorised a military operation in the country’s Donbas region. So what does this mean for the world? What does this mean for Ukraine? And is there anything that can stop Vladimir Putin from starting a potential world war?

Last week a video of a man being fatally attacked by a shark in Sydney went viral. Hundreds, if not thousands of people were viewing and sharing this video on various social media platforms.
But before social media there were shockumentaries, before them, public executions where people would go to watch a person's final moments, so why are some of us so interested in watching someone die?
In this episode we speak to a psychologist about our strange fascination with death and the impact that these videos have on the victim's friends and family members.

Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the UK - what do these countries have in common? They're all winding back or removing their Covid restrictions completely, despite the virus case numbers still rising each week.
And now it seems Australia might start joining them, with some states looking to remove a number of restrictions or having done so already, but are we ready to really live with covid?
In today's episode we're looking at whether the time for masks, distancing, isolating and testing is over, or whether we're moving way too soon.

Before the pandemic hit, some of us dreamt of the day we could roll out of bed, skip the morning commute and work from the comfort of our homes. But, two years into the pandemic, that dream has become a reality for so many of us and it may have come with some unforeseen consequences.
With DIY office's hastily set up in kitchens on couches and some even from bed, our work set ups may have ended up being quite the pain in the neck.. and back.. and wrist.
In this episode we look at the impact working from home has had on our bodies

It's that time again. The time when the politicians go out into the community, shaking hands, kissing babies, flipping sausages and drinking beers - all in an effort to appear like 'one of us'.
Politicians have done some weird and wacky things in the lead up to elections. From dancing the Macarena on national TV, to biting into an onion like an apple, and just last week, Scott Morrison was washing an apprentice hairdresser's hair in Melbourne.
In this episode, we look at the ways in which Politicians attempt to endear themselves, and whether or not it's ever made a difference at the polling booth.

It seems everyone is talking about Netflix's The Tinder Swindler right now. Before that, it was The Puppet Master and Inventing Anna. Before them it was Dirty John and Who The Hell Is Hamish, TV shows and podcasts about con men and women are everywhere.
When we hear about the elaborate schemes con artists use to scam money from innocent victims, we all wonder how the hell they pull it off and how do people actually fall for it.
In this episode we speak to someone who fell victim to a con master; the tricks he used and the damage left in his wake.

It's one of the most famous and controversial love triangles in history.
Prince Charles and Camilla have been dominating the headlines for four decades now. She has faced an onslaught of abuse from the tabloids & Royal Family alike - but this month, on the eve of the Queen's 70th Jubilee, it seems all may have been forgiven when Her Majesty gave her daughter in law a title upgrade.
In this episode we look back at the messy beginnings of this Royal love story and how public opinion may slowly be shifting to acceptance of Camilla.

Is there a good way to break up with someone? Should we be looking to celebrity breakups as inspiration to our own relationship breakdowns?
We’ve seen Chris Martin & Gwyneth Paltrow “consciously uncouple” & have since remained harmonious, often seen on holidays together with their kids.
More recently, we’ve seen Kim Kardashian & Kanye West split – followed by numerous social media posts from Kanye dragging Kim.
But what’s the right way to split? And what damage can a breakup cause?
In this episode we look at why amicable breakups are important.

How many times since the world was struck with a Global Pandemic have you thought to yourself ‘I’ve probably already had Covid?’
Have you tested negative, despite that tickle in your throat that wouldn’t go away, or a fever that you couldn’t shake.
Did you know you can get tested to see if you’ve ever had Covid? But what’s the benefit?
In this episode we explore whether being absorbed in Covid for the past few years has left us paranoid about the state of our health?

Is it the person we choose to have a physically intimate relationship with? Or is it the people we have collected as part of our chosen family over time?

We all know that feeling, when you or someone you're with hasn't eaten for hours and stress and anger starts to take over, as you becoming irrationally enraged with everything and everyone, and you know it won't stop until that need for food is satisfied.
But is being 'hangry' a real emotion, or just an excuse for bad behaviour?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in human science, and a celebrity who recently walked off a show for being hangry to find out what is happening in our brains when our stomach is empty, and what you can do to ensure that rumbling tum doesn't take over.

If you're diagnosed with Covid-19 in Australia, you will most likely have to complete seven days of mandatory self-isolation at home while you recover, and to ensure you don't pass it on to anyone else during those most infectious first few days.
But what happens if you don't feel better after a week and your coronavirus symptoms continue for several weeks, or even months longer? How do you know if you're suffering from 'Long Covid'?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in nursing to find out how long your Covid-19 symptoms "should" last, and what to do if you don't recover within a reasonable amount of time.

At the start of the pandemic few of us knew anyone who had actually contracted Coronavirus, but now we're in our third year of dealing with Covid, and living with Omicron, it feels almost inevitable that we'll all end up in isolation eventually (if you haven't already).
Advice on how to cope from experts is great, but sometimes you just want to hear from real women who've been there about their experiences because it just feels much more relatable.
The Quicky speaks to five women, all in different circumstances and with various living arrangements to find out what their experience of home iso was like, and their best advice for if and when you find yourself shut in for those seven days (or more).

Last week, there was public outrage after it emerged that Citipointe Christian College in Brisbane sent a lengthy contract to parents demanding that their children denounce homosexuality and follow 'traditional' gender roles.
The school subsequently withdrew the contract, but it has left many of us asking how this kind of overt discrimination is even legal in Australia?
The Quicky speaks to three expert advocates for equality to find out what if any laws exist to protect all Australians from discrimination of any kind, and how the Government's controversial Religious Discrimination Bill could make the situation much worse.

Tuesday marked the start of the new Lunar New Year celebrations for 2022, and so you might be wondering what the year of the Water Tiger has in store for you as we transition away from the year of the Ox.
The Quicky speaks to an expert in Chinese astrology and an expert in cultural exchange to find out not just what lies ahead, but also why some are saying the Tiger could be just what we need to bring about the beginning of the end of the pandemic.
You can find out more about your fortune in the Lunar New Year of the Tiger here.

Over the past couple of weeks, speculation and fear has been growing that Russia could be about to invade Ukraine once again, especially after more than 100,000 Russian troops were seen amassing with a hefty arsenal at the border, but why now?
The Quicky looks at the long history of tensions between Russia and Ukraine and speaks to an international security expert to find out what Vladimir Putin is up to, and whether Australia could be dragged into the conflict.

The UK has one of the highest death tolls from Coronavirus in the entire world, which has seen the British people live through some of the harshest and longest lockdowns over the past two years.
Despite the many restrictions, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his colleagues have been outed for having allegedly dozens of illegal parties while members of the public, and even the Queen suffered and remained isolated as their family members died.
The Quicky looks into just how many social gatherings happened at 10 Downing Street since 2020, and speaks to an expert in British politics to find out whether Mr Johnson will survive the findings of both an internal and police inquiry into the boozy events.

Last week, on the eve of January 26, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that $20 million dollars had been spent to 'free' the Aboriginal flag from a previous deal that had seen a non-indigenous company retain a hold over who could use the iconic image.
But not everyone is convinced that the red, yellow and black flag is in the rights hands now, and instead argue that ownership should have been transferred to First Nations people, not the Commonwealth Government.
The Quicky speaks to a proud First Nations woman and Senator to find out why so many people are angry about the deal, and what could and should have been done instead to uphold the autonomy and self-determination of Australia's first peoples.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has approved the Novavax vaccine for use in people aged 18 or over, becoming the fourth brand of COVID-19 jab that is being deployed in Australia to fight the ongoing pandemic.
But why do we need another vaccine, how does it differ to the ones we already have, and why are some people saying it could convince anti-vaxxers to finally get inoculated?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in immunology to answer these questions and find out everything you need you know about Novavax.

Given how much more time we've all been spending at home lately, it's perhaps not surprising that many of us have developed a new passion for plants.
The number of varieties on offer can be quite overwhelming, so how do you know where to start if you've never had a green thumb in your life?
The Quicky speaks to an expert horticulturist, a green space designer, and one of our very own self-proclaimed 'plant ladies' to find out how you can transform your home into a private oasis whether it's an inner-city unit, or a rural retreat.

You might have recently heard a lot of people talking about face masks, as concerns have been raised that our sustainable cloth masks may not actually be that useful when it comes to protecting ourselves against Covid-19.
But what about other types, like surgical, N95, P20, KN95, KF94 - what's the difference and how do you know which one is best for you and your family?
The Quicky speaks to a GP and face mask expert to find out what is really the best product to keep potentially dangerous droplets away from your nose and mouth, or to stop your infection from being transferred to others.

Mamamia only refers to January 26 by its date, to acknowledge that it is not a day of celebration for all Australians.
Instead of publishing an episode of The Quicky today, Host Claire Murphy provides some recommendations for some excellent First Nations content and brands (see links below) for you to explore.
If you want to be an ally this January 26, we urge you to send your MP a letter about the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which calls for constitutional change and structural reform that recognises the sacred, ancient spiritual link Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to their land. You can use this letter template to email your MP.
Claire's Recommendations
First Nations Fashion:
Clothing The Gaps - A fresh and dynamic fashion label managed by health professionals that celebrates Aboriginal people and culture. Clothing The Gaps is a play on the words "Closing the Gap", which is an Australian Government health initiative to help close the life expectancy gap between Aboriginal people and non-Indigenous Australians.
Trading Blak - Sells fashion, wellbeing and food products from businesses that are First Nations owned and led. It is also a safe and transparent space to educate, inform and support not only Indigenous owned and run businesses but also those who wish to support Blak businesses whether that be economically or through engagement.
Kirrikin - Luxury resortwear, featuring the artwork of contemporary indigenous artists from around the country. The stunning artwork is digitally printed onto sustainable fabrics to create unique, luxurious, and ethically made garments.
First Nations Fashion + Design - A national voice representing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members. Creating ongoing access to opportunities, skill development, and industry engagement. Working towards a self-sustaining ecosystem of Aboriginal fashion designers, textile artists, jewellery designers, photographers, models, hair + make up artist, stylist, curators + Fashion Industry Professionals.
Media:
Indigenous X - A 100% Indigenous owned and operated media, consultancy and training organisation. They have an excellent Twitter account which is run by a different person each week so you can hear a host of Indigenous voices throughout the year. Indigenous X also features many excellent articles on their website concerning a range of First Nations issues and views.
Podcasts:
Pretty For An Aboriginal - Nakkiah and Miranda have conversations Australia is uncomfortable having - about sex, relationships, dating, power, and, most difficult of all, race.
Coming Out Blak - Hosts Matika Little and Courtney Hagen are dedicated to supporting and celebrating First Nations mob in the LGBTQ+ community. Follow @comingoutblak on instagram to connect.
Unapologetically Blak - A project that has been developed by two Australian Indigenous women, Ginny and AJ, to offer an insight into the personal lives and distinctive sisterhood that Blak Australia exists within. ⠀
Books:
Growing Up Aboriginal In Australia, by Professor Anita Hess - Anita is a proud member of the Wiradjuri Nation of central New South Wales, but was born in Gadigal Country and has spent much of her life on Dharawal land near La Perouse. She is one of Australia’s most prolific and well-known authors publishing across genres including non-fiction, historical fiction, commercial fiction, and children’s novels.
Blackfulla Bookclub - An initiative by Teela Reid, a proud Wiradjuri and Wailwan woman, lawyer and storyteller born and raised in Gilgandra western NSW, and Merinda Dutton, a proud Gumbaynggirr and Barkindji woman and also a lawyer.

The NSW, VIC and SA governments recently decided to reduce the time between our second COVID-19 jab and third booster shots to just three months, but does the shorter timeframe mean your vaccine could be less effective?
And what about choosing between Pfizer or Moderna; how do you know which one you should get? Does it matter? Does it depend on which vaccine you had for round one and two?
The Quicky speaks to our favourite GP to find out the answers to these and many more questions about Australia's booster program, including whether there is any truth to reports that a third injection can miraculously heal a variety of skin conditions overnight.

It's been more than a week since the Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai volcano erupted, sending an ash cloud kilometres into the sky, and fuelling a deadly tsunami that was felt by nations across the Pacific.
But despite many days having now passed, we still have very little information about what's happening on the ground as the recovery effort has been badly impacted by the destruction of Tonga's only undersea communications cable.
The Quicky speaks to a woman who's spent nearly three decades liaising between the Australian and Tongan Governments, and an expert in the fibre-optic submarine cable that connects the people of Tonga to the rest of the world to find out the latest developments.

If you didn't grow up surrounded by financial whizzes, investing and the whole concept of the sharemarket can feel really daunting and probably something that's only for people who are already super rich.
But that is not the case; anyone can be an investor and you don't need a lot of cash to get started.
In this episode of The Quicky we speak to two very money-smart women about the practical steps you need to take to increase your wealth in 2022 and beyond, and how to avoid common mistakes often made by first-time investors.

With constant uncertainty caused by the pandemic, it's not surprising that many of us are secretly wondering if we should just try to catch Covid-19 at a time that is convenient for us, in the hope it will give us some immunity and help end the pandemic, but is that true?

We all remember the chaos and uncertainty at the start of the pandemic, when panic buying made it near impossible to buy toilet paper and all sorts of other essential products.
Now after two years of living with Covid-19, supermarket shelves are suddenly bare once again, but why?
The Quicky speaks to two men who represent the workers who are doing everything they can from the field to the supermarkets to try and fill those empty shelves about why our supply chains have broken down, and what we can and should be doing to fix them.

We've only been living with Omicron for about a month, but already there are reports that hospitals around the country are at breaking point, forcing several states to postpone so-called 'elective' surgeries.
But what happens when even that isn't enough to stem the flow of patients, especially as more and more hospital staff test positive or have to isolate as a close contact themselves?
The Quicky speaks to an Intensive Care Unit doctor, a public health expert, and a woman who had to deliver and save the life of her own baby to find out what is going on inside our hospitals, and whether there is any Plan B for when the system completely breaks down.

Former British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was recently for her involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's paedophile sex ring, but a recent omission by a juror in her trial could see her walk free.
At the same time, Prince Andrew has been trying to dodge a civil case brought against him by one of Epstein's victims, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, but a judge has just ruled that he will have to stand trial sometime later this year.
So will 2022 finally be the year when the victims get justice, or will the accused wealthy and powerful individuals ultimately walk free?
The Quicky speaks to a British investigative journalist, and a U.S. correspondent to find out what is happening in both of these cases, and whether more people could face court over the decades of abuse and scandal that continue to make headlines around the world.

If you've tried to get any kind of Covid-19 test in the past few weeks, you have probably come up against long queues and delayed wait times for results from PCR testing, and in the cast of Rapid Antigen Tests, high prices if you can even find one.
But why has getting a test for coronavirus become so difficult two years into the pandemic? Did the Federal Government not buy enough tests? Are the testing labs not working fast enough? Are shops holding back on available supplies of RATs so they can price gouge?
The Quicky speaks to a GP and an expert in Australian health care to find out why the testing system has ground to a halt across the country, and when we can expect the situation to improve so we can finally start 'living with Covid'.

It's been nearly a week since Novak Djokovic landed in Australia only to find that his Covid-19 vaccine exemption was deemed to be invalid and his visa cancelled, and refusing to leave the country he was escorted to hotel detention to await the outcome of an appeal.
It has caused nothing short of outrage on both sides in Australia and stunned those observing from overseas, but what is this really all about? Is this one man's vaccine status the crux of the issue, or is it really about the impending election, or how we treat refugees?
The Quicky speaks to an Australian politics expert and a human rights lawyer to find out what we should really be focusing on instead of the plight of one very wealthy, privileged man who is ultimately free to leave any time he wants.

We're just over a week into 2022, and already the news headlines are full of scary daily case numbers, hospitalisations and deaths, so how can we prepare ourselves for the next 12 months without feeling desperate?
The Quicky speaks to a GP, a woman whose daughter has Covid-19, and a psychologist to find out how we can not only cope amid the ongoing pandemic, but also come to terms with what's going on and maybe even feel ok as we start this new year.

2021 came as a surprise to everyone as we expected things to be so much better than 2020, but surely this year has to be better, right?
To find out if you should get your hopes up for the 12 months ahead, or resign yourself to another ‘annus horribilis’, The Quicky speaks to a medium, a clairvoyant, a global futurist and our own entertainment expert to discuss what lies ahead in 2022.

If you spent as much of this year in lockdown as we did, you're probably feeling like the past 12 months were all a bit of a blur, but when you look closer you realise that a lot has happened.
In this special extended episode, The Quicky takes you on a trip back through time as we look at everything that transpired since the start of 2021, the year that was supposed to save us from the dumpster fire of 2020, but which ended up being arguably just as bad.

It's Christmas once again, and whatever you celebrate this festive period, no doubt you are already feeling the pressure to spend big on presents, food, drinks, parties, clothes, wrapping, decorations and any number of other holiday items.
But even though there's just one week to go until the big day, there is still time to cut back on costs and appreciate what's really important at this time of year.
The Quicky speaks to two money-smart women to find out what you can do and more importantly not do, to ensure that you don't start the new year with a mountain of debt and regret.

Earlier this month, one very lucky man was told he would be allowed to keep half of a treasure trove of diamonds, emeralds and sapphires he'd found back in 2013 while hiking on Mont Blanc in France.
It's an incredible true story of buried treasure, but finding valuables on the street, beach or even within your own home is more common than you might think, so how do you know if you're allowed to keep them? And what happens if you're the one who lost the precious items in the first place?
The Quicky speaks to two legal and policing experts to find out if it really is a case of 'finders, keepers' when you discover valuables by chance, or if pocketing them instead of reporting it to the authorities could land you in some legally hot water.

There are a lot of different ways celebrities can make a comeback in 2021, but for former pop star Kerry Katona her decision to sell photos of her feet online has supposedly seen her make millions of dollars after filing for bankruptcy twice.
But why would anyone pay for these images? For many of us feet are at best something we maintain with a nice pedicure but don't draw much attention to, and at worst utterly revolting, and yet we know that there are many people who have a full-on foot fetish.
The Quicky speaks to a psychologist and expert in sexual behaviour to find out how our feet are linked to sex, and why for some people there is nothing more erotic than the sight of a foot in different shoes and positions.

In 2022 we know a Federal election is coming, and while we don't have an exact date for the ballot just yet, already the campaigning has begun by all of the major parties and prominent independents keen to retain their seats in power.
But who might some of the new faces in Canberra be? Could Gladys really be making the switch from state politics to join current Prime Minister Scott Morrison in the capital?
The Quicky speaks to an Australian politics expert to find out whether Labor really stand a chance at winning, why the United Australia Party has your phone number, and whether the Coalition can overcome their 'women problem'.

For millennia we have been obsessed with enhancing our natural eyelashes, whether using kohl to make them appear darker, or removing them altogether, but why do eyelash trends come and go and who decides what's fashionable at the time?
And there are an abundance of products on the market to make them look longer, thicker, a different colour, but are mascaras, extensions and serums bad for our eye health?
To find out everything you ever wanted to know about eyelashes, The Quicky speaks to Mamamia's in-house beauty expert, and an eye doctor to discuss the perfect way to not only make your lashes look fabulous, but also ensure your eyes are protected for life.

The festive period is supposed to be a time for gathering with friends and family to have fun and celebrate the end of the year, but it can also easily tip over into a time of great excess, especially when it comes to our alcohol consumption.
While many of us are able to have a few drinks and enjoy ourselves without any problems, for others it can be a crutch to help deal with difficult family relationships, and other end-of-year pressures.
The Quicky speaks to three women who've given up the grog for different reasons to find out how you can avoid temptation to go overboard this Christmas, stay sober and still have a great time.

It's no secret that a lot of people are struggling to buy their first home, but what gets a lot less attention is the fact that across most of Australia rental prices and competition for homes is going through the roof.
Rents have decreased in some inner-city suburbs, but for the most part renters are paying more than ever for their accommodation, and every time you go to an open home you can expect to see more people doing whatever it takes to secure the lease.
The Quicky speaks to a regional real estate agent and an expert in housing affordability to find out why high house prices is having a knock-on effect on rental properties, and why no-one expects the problem to improve any time soon.

As the holiday season edges closer the last thing we want to think about is the pandemic, but with uncertainty over Omicron, borders and restrictions, you might be feeling utterly exhausted and fed up with not being able to plan festive celebrations with certainty.
So what can you do when you feel exhausted by the constantly changing conditions and the seemingly never ending discussions about COVID-19?
The Quicky speaks to a public health expert and ICU nurse, and a psychologist to find out how we can keep calm and carry on, no matter what happens over the festive period.
If you're feeling overwhelmed and need some support, the Australian Government Department of Health has a number of resources available through their Head To Health initiative.

The emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 has finally forced the world to have a difficult conversation that many experts and less-economically developed nations have been calling on us to have for a long time.
Vaccine inequality, also referred to as 'vaccine hoarding' by wealthy nations including our own is proving to be a big problem, and many experts believe it is to blame for Omicron and other new variants of concern that may emerge.
The Quicky speaks to an expert in public health to find out why not all countries have access to the vaccine doses they need, and what we can all do to solve the problem to ensure that everyone can 'live with Covid' as safely as possible.

It can feel daunting at the best of times to strike up a conversation with a stranger at a bus stop, or a colleague you don't know particularly well in a lift, but it is even more difficult when the majority of your face is covered with a mask.
You might also find it increasingly challenging to find new things to say after nearly two years of everything being cancelled, but does it really matter if you miss out on these minor interactions?
The Quicky speaks to a psychologist to find out why small talk is important for our mental health and wellbeing, and what you can do to get back into the chat with people you've known for years, or even random passers by on the street.

Last week the Australian Recording Industry Association Awards, better known as the ARIAs were live streamed from Sydney, and for the first time some of the prizes were handed out without artists being restricted to specific categories due to their gender.
It marked a significant turning point for our music industry, and is part of a bigger movement of awards ceremonies across the world increasingly making their trophies gender-neutral, but not everyone is convinced this will help the cause of the queer community or women.
The Quicky speaks to a gender expert and our own entertainment guru to find out why this effort to be more inclusive might actually only really help men, and ultimately make it even harder for women and non-binary people to achieve the recognition they deserve.

Just over one year ago, at least 13 Australian women and hundreds of others were subjected to invasive gynaecological examinations without warning or explanation while they were transiting on flights through Doha Airport.
It caused international outrage at the time, but what has happened since to ensure that those responsible for this gross violation of their rights are held to account, and that this never happens to anyone else ever again?
The Quicky speaks to one of the women involved, a lawyer for a group suing the Qatari authorities, and an International Law expert to find out who is to blame for what happened, and how to make sure it never happens to you.
A note on this podcast:
While preparing this episode, we reached out to the Australian Federal Government for comment. We received a response from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade noting that they were unable to facilitate our interview request.
We also contacted the Government of Qatar via their Embassy in Canberra for comment, but no response was received.
The following is a statement from the office of the Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Marise Payne that was sent to one of our colleagues:
Minister Payne and DFAT registered the Australian Government’s serious concerns about this incident to Qatari Government authorities in both Canberra and in Qatar. The Australian Government sought an immediate investigation into the incident by Qatar authorities, and that action be taken against those responsible. The Australian Government also sought assurances that concrete steps be taken to ensure this cannot happen again.
The Australian Government acknowledges the steps the Government of Qatar took in this matter, including a comprehensive investigation, the prosecution and conviction of those responsible, and the implementation of revised airport security processes to ensure this cannot happen again.

Just when you thought it was safe to book domestic and international travel, Australia has joined a number of other nations by imposing new restrictions on people from nine African countries over concerns about the new Omicron variant of COVID-19.
But why has this version of Coronavirus caused such international panic less than one week after being reported to the World Health Organisation, and what do we really know about how dangerous it is?
The Quicky speaks to an infectious diseases specialist and a travel expert to find out everything you need to know about Omicron, and how it might impact both your health and your travel plans over the holidays.

When musician Travis Barker proposed to Kourtney Kardashian in a dramatic beach set-up with thousands of roses last month, you might have been a bit surprised as "Kravis" have only been officially dating for a few months.
Whether their romance is genuine or whether the elaborate proposal surrounded by cameras was more of a publicity stunt is as yet to be seen, but more importantly it might have you wondering how soon is too soon to get engaged?
The Quicky speaks to a relationship expert, and a guru of celeb culture to consider how long you should wait before walking down the aisle.

If you've ever taken the contraceptive pill, you might have had one of those 'oh no' moments when you realise that your prescription has run out, you're down to your last pill, and have to make a mad dash to the doctor to get a new script.
But why is that the case? Why can't we just go to a pharmacy and buy the pill over the counter without having to go to see a doctor first? It can be especially annoying if you've been taking the same pill for many years.

On 12 September 2014 a three-year-old boy vanished without a trace from his grandmother's backyard in the NSW town of Kendall. More than seven years on, police recently launched a new search in the hope of finding out what happened to William Tyrrell.
But what are the reasons behind the sudden reinvigoration of this investigation, and what has come out of these latest searches of both a property and a vehicle?
To find out The Quicky speaks to an investigative journalist who has been covering the case for many years, and discusses exactly what we do and don't know amid all of the hype and confusion surrounding the disappearance of the young boy in a Spider-Man suit.

After years of record lows there is speculation that 2022 could be the year when the Reserve Bank of Australia will finally increase interest rates, but would it be enough to drive down house prices?
Research shows that even a modest 1% increase could prove devastating for new home owners who've been pushed into huge mortgages, but at the same time many retirees are desperate for a rise to finally see some return on their savings.
To find out who would benefit and who would suffer, and how likely any of this really is, The Quicky speaks to an economic expert to discuss what is really going on with interest rates in Australia.

In our late teens and early twenties, many of us date someone who is a little or even a lot older as we experiment with romance, but have your feelings about that relationship changed now you look back on it years later?
Perhaps what seemed like fun at the time now feels a bit creepy or even exploitative? This is the very question that singer Taylor Swift is encouraging us to reflect on, through her own experience dating a much older Jake Gyllenhaal when she was just 20.
The Quicky speaks to a relationship expert to consider whether age-gap romances where one person is very young can ever be based on equality, or if the older person is always taking advantage for power, status, or simply their own sexual gratification.

For 600 days, thousands of aircraft around the world sat idle on runways, in warehouses and even in deserts, as the number of global flights was slashed almost overnight by the explosion of COVID-19.
20 months later, we are all excited to see both domestic and international borders re-opening and airlines quickly bringing their fleet back online, but it might make you wonder how such a massive job can be achieved so rapidly, and is it... safe?
The Quicky speaks to three aviation experts to find out what it takes to get planes ready to fly again at short notice, and all of the hard work that has gone on behind the scenes over the past two years to ensure these massive machines are maintained.

It's been just over a year since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the US Presidential election, and seized power from a very disgruntled Donald Trump, bringing to an end one of America's most contentious political terms.
But 12 months on from the shift from Republican to Democratic leadership, many people are asking why we have seen and heard so little from the pair?
The Quicky speaks to an American political analyst to find out if Biden and Harris have just been quietly working away in the background, or if they have failed to live up to the hope and promise they offered in 2020.

As we increasingly learn to live with Covid-19 and society gets back into its groove, booster vaccine jabs and rapid antigen tests which can be done at home are going to become the new normal, but what do we really know about them?

As many of us start to return to the workplace, the conversation about different attitudes and approaches to work is one that is increasingly divided between generations.
So how do Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z all view each other, and are our opinions based on stereotypes, or does our generation really define our attitude to work?
The Quicky speaks to a sociologist to find out if we are all that different, and whether the approaches of different age groups is a help of a hinderance to workplace culture.

Last week, over 50,000 people in Texas headed for a night out at the Astroworld Festival headlined by Travis Scott and Drake, excited to finally be able to go to a big event after nearly two years of COVID-19 restrictions.
But what was supposed to be fun for everyone turned into a nightmare they will never forget when 8 people were crushed to death in the crowd, and hundreds of others left physically and emotionally wounded.
The Quicky speaks to a concert site manager to find out how this tragedy occurred, who is responsible, and whether we need to be concerned as similar events get back underway in Australia.

When Sandra Peniamina was killed, her husband admitted he had done it and was initially charged with and convicted of murder, sentenced to life behind bars.
But an archaic law that has been around since men duelled with pistols, has been used to allow him to reduce that sentence with a claim she provoked him.
Today The Quicky team investigates the laws of provocation and what needs to happen for them to change.

Raising a child is always challenging, but when your kids hit their teenage years it can be especially difficult as they navigate changing bodies, relationships and end-of-school exams for the first time.
This has led many parents to call for 'teen-ternity leave', a special period of time off granted to those who care for teenage kids to help them manage the years when parental influence can be most important, but would it be fair to people without kids?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in gender and employment relations, Mia Freedman, and people with and without kids to see whether this is a great idea, or if would place a greater burden onto the child-free to pick up the slack at work?

With restrictions finally lifted across Australia, many of us look forward to a night out or a house party with friends, but recent reports from the UK of young women being injected with an unknown substance in bars and clubs has caused widespread concern.
Drink spiking has been on our radar as a risk for many years, but is it still common or might this new form of drugging people be taking over?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in spiking and a young woman who was a victim of this despicable crime to find out how concerned we should be when we venture out into the night, and what we can do to protect ourselves and our mates.

If you have or are currently trying to buy property in Australia, you will know that the so-called 'Australian Dream' of owning your own home is more like a nightmare as prices continue to rise with seemingly no end in sight.
But why is it that property values across the country are going through the roof despite all the uncertainty of the pandemic, and might there really be a 'good' time to buy on the horizon?
The Quicky speaks to two young women hoping to buy their first home, and an economics expert to find out what has made Australian real estate some of the most expensive in the world, and why a recent change could finally make it more affordable.

Last week, Adelaide United star Josh Cavallo made history when he announced that he is proud gay man, making him the only current, male professional footballer in the world to publicly come out.
But if we look at women's soccer and other sporting codes, we find that there are many female players who have been able to be honest about who they love, so why is it still considered taboo for male athletes?

The past 20 months of constant upheaval and change as a result of the pandemic has made many of us re-think what's most important in our lives, and our careers in particular.

Anyone who's been through In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) will tell you about the huge costs, extensive medical intervention, and if they are lucky enough to be successful, how happy they are, but what if you go through all that and still come out the other side without a baby?
Talking about the toll on your mental health as a result of IVF is much more difficult for many people than discussing the physical or financial impacts, so what do those women who have tried desperately to conceive wish they'd known beforehand?
The Quicky speaks to a woman who went through years of IVF and a medical specialist to find out what prospective parents should know before they embark on this journey, and how to care for their mental wellbeing before, during and after, no matter what the outcome.
If you're looking for a no BS guide to assisted fertility, Mamamia's podcast Get Me Pregnant takes you through everything you need to know about assisted fertility including IVF, IUI, sperm and egg donation, surrogacy and egg freezing. Hosted by Leigh Campbell and Rachel Corbett.

This week, an unusually modest wedding brought an end to four years of torment for Princess Mako of Japan and her 'commoner' husband Kei Komuro, as the newlyweds plan to quietly leave their home country for a new life in the United States.
The usual pomp and ceremony of an Imperial wedding was nowhere to be seen, as public disapproval of the union has left Mako with PTSD, after conservatives hounded the couple because they felt her groom simply wasn't good enough to join the Royal family.
To find out why this marriage has been so controversial, and what it tells us about the state of gender equality in Japan, The Quicky speaks to an expert in Japanese culture and history as we consider why the couple have been dubbed 'the new Harry and Meghan'.

This weekend, Prime Minister Scott Morrison will reluctantly fly to Scotland for the United Nations Climate Change Conference better known as COP26, but why did it take a tongue-lashing from Prince Charles and the Queen to convince him to attend?
And why has there been such a last minute scramble between the Liberals and Nationals to finally agree to some kind of 'in-principle' plan to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050 when we've known for decades that urgent action is needed?

When you become a Wiggle, there's a whole lot more to it than just pulling on a bright skivvy and singing a few songs.
With Emma Wiggle leaving the band and newly minted Yellow Wiggle Tsehay Hawkins taking her place, many are wondering what she will have to deal with when she joins a band beloved by generations of children around the world.

Some states and territories are surging ahead with COVID-19 vaccinations with the ACT and NSW now surpassing 90% first dose, but other jurisdictions including WA, QLD and the NT are falling behind on just over 70% first dose vaccination rates.
Despite the slow uptake in some communities, restrictions are continuing to ease across much of the country which has many people asking, how dangerous is it for those of us who are fully vaccinated to mingle with those who aren't?

Prince Andrew has escaped further investigation from the UK's Metropolitan Police over the allegations raised in Virginia Giuffre's sexual assault lawsuit, in which she claims he forced her to have sex with him on multiple occasions while she was underage.
But that doesn't mean the legal battle is over for the Queen's favourite child, as he has until October 29 to formally respond to the lawsuit, and could face serious consequences if found guilty.
The Quicky speaks to a Royal expert to find out what his potential punishment could be, and what is happening to Ghislaine Maxwell, the woman accused of grooming young girls for billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his high-ranking friends.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet made a shock announcement on Friday that NSW will abolish all quarantine for people who are double vaccinated from November 1, in addition to the Federal Government's messaging that Australia will finally re-open to the world next month.

Goop, the lifestyle website founded by actor-turned-wellness-guru Gwyneth Paltrow sells all sorts of weird products supposedly designed to help women improve their sex lives, and their latest is 'DTF' aka Down To F*ck, a libido booster that comes in the form of pills.
But do these kinds of products - which includes things we can find in the supermarket like Horny Goat Weed - really work and if so, how?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in sexual health to sort the facts from the sell, and find out if we are experiencing problems with our libido whether we should self-medicate, or be speaking with a doctor about what's going on in our minds, as well as our bodies.

With Sydney's four month lockdown finally coming to an end and vaccination rates continuing to rise, many people within the health sector are now turning their attention to how we can treat people with Covid-19, as well as trying to prevent its spread altogether.
In anticipation of a sharp increase in case numbers as restrictions ease around the country, the Federal Government has ordered 300,000 doses of Molnupiravir, but can a pill really cure the deadly virus that has caused havoc across the entire world for nearly two years?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in infectious diseases to find out more about the drug, and others that are already being administered to consider what the best options are for helping us to recover when we've been diagnosed with coronavirus.

One week ago, the woman who has established herself as one of NSW's most popular politicians ever, Premier Gladys Berejiklian sensationally quit following the news that the State's anti-corruption commission ICAC would be investigating her actions.
It all stems back to a number of grants handed out in the Wagga Wagga electorate of her former secret boyfriend, disgraced MP Daryl Maguire, but the question is did she do something wrong or is she a victim of circumstance and speculation?
The Quicky speaks to an Australian politics expert to find out why Gladys is under investigation, and if this in fact could be the catalyst for her not only surviving a scandal, but rising from the ashes to the very highest office in Australia.

With COVID-19 restrictions set to ease across Australia over the coming weeks, many of us are looking forward to the festive season with hope that we will be able to see our friends and family and enjoy a 'normal' holiday.
But whether that will actually happen might depend on where you live in Australia, whether your loved ones are here or overseas, and if you are living with a disability or other potential vulnerabilities.

After 16 years in the top job, Chancellor Angela Merkel is stepping down, bringing to an end an era of transformation not only for the people of Germany, but for the entire world.
Whether you like her politics or not, there's no denying Merkel has been one of the most influential people for nearly two decades, a woman who isn't afraid to stare down some of the world's toughest political leaders while turning Germany into an economic powerhouse.

Following the shock resignation of NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Friday, The Quicky reexamines the issue of why female politicians are subject to far more speculation and interrogation about their private lives than their male counterparts.
From salacious headlines and speculation, to an outpouring of support for her online, everyone has an opinion, but what does it actually mean to be a female politician in Australia? How much does gender play into the experiences of women in leadership?
The Quicky speaks to a Sydney journalist to consider the lives of Australia's female politicians, the standards society holds them to, and where we draw the line between a private life and public service.

In recent years the ‘dad bods’ of Hollywood stars and even the guy next door have been praised as something we should consider as sexy as a six pack, so why don’t we have that same passion for mum bods when it’s us who actually give birth?
Instead, social media and the tabloids hold up images of women who’ve been able to ‘snap back’ to their pre-baby body as being ideal, often leaving women for whom that doesn’t happen feeling inadequate.
The Quicky speaks to an obstetrician and an expert in gender to find out why we are willing to praise the average body for dads but not mums, and take a head to toe look at all the amazing ways our bodies change during pregnancy and birth that should be celebrated.

After three decades of allegations of horrific sexual abuse of underage girls, R Kelly, the man once known as 'the King of RnB' has finally been convicted and could spend the rest of his life in prison.
But for many of the victims and onlookers, the question of why it took so long for him to be publicly outed and punished? And why did so many of the music industry's biggest stars continue working with him despite the mounting evidence against him?
The Quicky takes you on a journey through time looking at who R Kelly is, how his criminal behaviour evolved, all the allegations against him, and speaks with a journalist based in the US who has been covering the most recent trial that finally saw him brought to justice.

As we edge closer to 70% or even 80% double vaccination targets, you might be wondering how we will all come back together in society once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted?
In particular many of us are feeling anxious about how to tactfully ask friends, loved ones, colleagues and customers if they have been vaccinated, as it can be a very tricky discussion to have with lots of strong feelings involved either way.
The Quicky speaks to two experts to find out how you can safely navigate this difficult conversation, especially when you know someone doesn't want to get the jab, without endangering your relationships or your health.

It's easy to spot overtly racist imagery, policies and behaviour, but what about the everyday micro aggressions that get laughed off as a 'joke' in casual conversations?
Do you know how to recognise casual racism, whether it's in yourself or someone else? Perhaps you are on the receiving end of this inappropriate behaviour on a daily basis and know all too well the harm it causes.

Ex-Attorney General Christian Porter has resigned from his role as a Minister and returned to the backbench, but many experts believe he will be back in a position of significant power, and possibly even the top job in the not-too-distant future.
But why does it seem like some politicians can weather any storm that comes their way no matter how big the scandal, while others are cast out forever at the slightest hint of an allegation?

If the people of Melbourne are able to leave their sixth lockdown next month as planned, they will have spent a total of nearly 300 days in lockdown since the pandemic began, more than any other city in the world outside of China.

10 years ago, Charlene Whitstock's life transformed forever when she went from being a professional swimmer in South Africa, to the Princess of Monaco after marrying Prince Albert II, but at no point was her story a fairytale.

Within a few weeks, Australia will begin trialling our first vaccine passports, following in the footsteps of many other countries where this digital document is already commonly used to gain access to domestic services like hairdressers and restaurants, and international travel.
For many people this is the logical next step as we try to find a way to move forward with our lives and 'learn to live with Covid', but for others this is yet another violation of our rights to freedom of choice and movement.
The Quicky speaks to an expert in mandatory vaccination policy and a Federal Government Minister to break down how vaccine passports will work in Australia, and explore why people are divided on whether they should exist at all.

This week, one of America's most hotly anticipated fraud trials began when the woman once known as the youngest, self-made female billionaire, Elizabeth Holmes entered a courtroom to face the jury who will decide if she spends the next 20 years in jail.
At just 19 she founded bio-tech company Theranos in Silicon Valley, where she was frequently referred to as 'the next Steve Jobs' for her plan to revolutionise healthcare with a new blood testing technology she claimed to have invented. The only problem was, it didn't work.
The Quicky speaks to an expert in human behaviour to find out how such a young woman was able to convince some of America's most highly respected businesspeople to invest hundreds of millions of dollars, and how it all came crashing down.

When someone dies with Covid-19, one question that quickly comes up, is did they have an underlying health condition?
It seems we find it easier to accept a person's death if we think they were already very ill or elderly, but is this just a way of excusing these deaths? And how do you know if your own medical conditions make you more vulnerable?
The Quicky speaks to a medical expert to find out what counts as an 'underlying health condition', and how much of an impact that really has on your risk of falling seriously ill or even dying from Covid-19.

With all eyes on the pandemic, you might not have noticed that last month our Federal Government passed new laws that mean if you are suspected of a crime, police and other agencies can now hack your smartphone without you even knowing about it.
The Surveillance Legislation Amendment (Identify and Disrupt) Bill 2021 is intended to help combat the growing problem of online criminal activity which sounds like a good thing, but not everyone is convinced the new powers will only be used to target criminals.
The Quicky speaks to a digital rights activist to find out why many think this is a step too far when it comes to violating our privacy, and how it could even make it easier for perpetrators of domestic violence to stalk their victims, or anyone deemed to be an enemy of the state.

It's a sad reality that no matter which industry you're in, if you are a woman who has ever had a job in Australia you've probably witnessed or experienced sexual harassment or assault in the workplace.
Last week, hundreds of experts and survivors came together to discuss how we can better protect all women at the National Summit on Women's Safety, but with the Government refusing to implement key reforms, will it really make a difference?
The Quicky hears several women's stories, and speaks to a workplace investigator and trainer who uses his experience as a lawyer and former member of the Police to change workplace culture and prevent inappropriate behaviour before it happens.

Twenty years ago, a group of 19 terrorists hijacked four commercial flights in the United States and crashed them into prominent sites including the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon, sparking the War on Terror which has claimed at least 900,000 lives.
Two decades on, life remains changed forever, for everyone.
The Quicky speaks to an Australian woman who worked in a New York City hospital that day helping the injured, and a prominent anti-racism advocate about why none of our lives have been, or will ever be the same again.

Losing a child at the hands of an online predator is every parent's worst nightmare, which tragically became a reality for one South Australian mum in 2007 when her daughter was brutally murdered by a 50-year-old man pretending to be her teenage love interest.
This National Child Protection Week, The Quicky speaks to that mum about how she now helps other parents spot the warning signs that their child is at risk, and two members of the Australian Federal Police about the best ways to keep your kids safe online.

There has been a lot of news recently coming out of the regional NSW town of Wilcannia, where as many as 15% of the town's population, most of whom are Aboriginal, have contracted Covid-19.
This has highlighted the inequalities faced by many Aussies living in remote areas, and has us wondering what is happening in terms of the pandemic when it comes to First Nations Australians more broadly?
The Quicky speaks to two indigenous women who work for NSW Aboriginal Land Councils, and the Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians to find out what exactly is happening in these communities, and what we and the government should be doing to help them.

There have been many downsides to the pandemic, but one of the worst is that it seems to have divided Aussies into a collection of individual states and territories rather than one united nation.
The fight over closed domestic borders, and politicians at all levels blaming each other over their handling of Covid-19 has caused what some fear may be an irreparable rift.
The Quicky speaks to a Federal Senator, and an Australian Studies expert to find out how we got to this point, and if and when we might all be reunited as one country moving forward.

Women's underwear has changed dramatically over the centuries, and it seems our relationship with our bras is shifting once again as so many of us are spending a lot more time at home, but is this temporary, or will we ditch the old 'boulder holders' for good?

Qantas has released an emotional new ad depicting a number of people getting ready for the their first post-covid trip overseas, which had many of us in floods of tears thinking about what we have been missing since Australia's international border closed.

With no end in sight to Australia's current lockdowns and restrictions, it seems some of our political leaders are trying to shift our focus away from daily case numbers, and concentrate more on vaccination rates and what 'living with Covid' might look like.
But what about states like WA and Queensland where no serious outbreaks have occurred for a long time, are they living in a fantasy that they can stay Covid-free forever, or should the rest of the country be trying to get back to zero cases?
The Quicky speaks to an epidemiologist, a political reporter, and a public policy expert to find out whether eliminating Covid-19 is possible or just political spin, and what life might be like if this virus simply never goes away.

It's been more than a week since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan, after two decades of the United States and their allies, including Australia trying to create peace and stability.
Footage captured by those on the ground shows just how chaotic the situation is as thousands of people desperately try to flee, but what is our Government doing to help, especially those Afghans who kept our defence force and civilian personnel safe over the past 20 years?

Social distancing has been the necessary evil keeping us safe from harm during the pandemic, but with no end in sight, you might be really missing the physical touch of another person, whether it be a handshake, a hug and kiss, or sex.
For parents, ensuring their children grow-up with an understanding of positive touch is crucial, and for anyone living alone, the psychological and physical impact of not being able to touch anyone else for an extended period can be severe.
The Quicky speaks to a psychologist and relationships expert to find out what this absence of physical contact is doing to us all, and what we can do for ourselves and others to minimise the long term negative effects.

It's been two months since a single case of the Delta variant set off a catastrophic chain of transmission which is now seeing NSW record over 600 cases, and often several fatalities from COVID-19 every day.
During that time, the rhetoric from our leaders has changed dramatically from hope of returning to zero transmission in the community, to an increasing reliance on mass vaccination, but what happens if that doesn't solve the problem?
The Quicky speaks to an expert epidemiologist to discuss what the realistic options are for all Australians as the outbreak continues to spread.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released a new report on the state of global climate change and the findings were damning, especially for Australia.
The situation is now so bad, UN Secretary-General António Guterres says the report is a “code red for humanity” and greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning and deforestation are choking our planet and putting billions of people at immediate risk.
The Quicky speaks to two climate change experts to find out what more our Government can and should be doing enough to mitigate the impacts of climate change, and what we can all do as individuals to stop the destruction of our planet before it's too late.

A deepening crisis in Afghanistan is starting to dominate news headlines, as the Taliban has re-taken control of almost the entire country, putting millions of lives at risk.
Shocking footage shows people desperately trying to flee as violence and kidnappings of women and girls broke out across the country.
The Quicky speaks to two experts in international security and gender to find out how the situation deteriorated so quickly following the recent withdrawal of American and Australian troops, and what we can all do to help.

There has been a lot of mixed messaging and confusion about who should receive which COVID-19 vaccine in Australia, but now a third vaccine has been provisionally approved for use in everyone over the age of 18.
The Moderna vaccine is due to start being administered to Aussies as early as September, but how will it fit into the bigger vaccination rollout, and how do you know if it is right for you?
The Quicky speaks to a vaccine expert to find out how the Moderna jab compares to Pfizer and AstraZeneca, and everything we know so far about who will be offered it and when.

There are many male celebrities without much hair on their heads who are still considered sex symbols, such as Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Jason Statham, and Tyrese Gibson to name a few, but finding a celebrated bald woman is much more difficult.
It seems that when it comes to women and their hair, losing it or not having much to start with is still considered taboo, leaving many women with deep insecurities that they often can't even discuss with their closest friends or loved ones.
The Quicky speaks to three women who have lost their hair for different reasons, and an expert in female hair loss to find out why it happens, how common it is, and why for many women it still feels too embarrassing to talk about in 2021.

Tuesday 10th August is officially Census Day 2021, but have you ever wondered what the point of it is, especially as the Government has decided not to ask about sexuality even though LGBTIQ+ advocates have said loud and clear that they want to be counted?
And last time we did this, it resulted in #CensusFail2016 when the website crashed and had to be taken down for 40 hours, so will this census be any better?
The Quicky speaks to a cyber expert, a demographer, and an advocate for the LGBTIQ+ community to find out why we conduct a census, how safe it is, and why the Government still refuses to acknowledge the LGBTIQ+ community in 2021.

At the start of the pandemic in 2020, there was very little concern for the impacts of the virus on children, as we were repeatedly told that they rarely caught the disease, or suffered any serious health consequences.
But 18 months on, a very different story is being told by health experts; as the Delta strain runs rampant in Australia and many other countries, the pressure to vaccinate children against COVID-19 is increasing.
The Quicky speaks to a Sydney mother, and an expert in children's disease to find out just how concerned we should be for the safety of our kids, and what we can do to protect them as the pandemic continues.

Princess Diana's niece, Lady Kitty Spencer recently had an extravagant Italian wedding, which included no fewer than five custom Dolce & Gabbana gowns and a whole host of celebrity guests.

In 2020 there were more than 51,000 missing persons reports made to police in Australia, which is more than 140 on every day of the year. Any person missing for more than three months is classified as a long-term missing person. There are approximately 2,600 long-term missing persons in Australia.
Every one of these missing people leaves behind countless devastated friends and loved ones, some of whom will unfortunately never get any answers or closure about what happened.
This Missing Persons Week, The Quicky speaks to one of Australia's leading missing persons experts, and a woman who was left devastated after her brother vanished in 2011, to find out what life is like for those left behind and what we can all do to help.
If you have information about a missing person whether you or they are in Australia or overseas, you can call Crime Stoppers at any time on 1800 333 000, or contact the National Missing Persons Coordination Centre on 1800 000 634.
If you would like to help the Missing Person’s Advocacy Network (MPAN) make Missing Person’s Week officially recognised, you can sign the online petition.
You can also reach out to MPAN if you need emotional or practical support to help deal with your own experience of a missing person.

It's World Breastfeeding Week and this year's theme is 'Protect Breastfeeding: A Shared Responsibility', but what does that look like in 2021?
The old adage of 'breast is best' still taunts many mothers who can't or simply don't want to breastfeed, and yet partners and other friends, family and even society often do little to support them, even when they do want help.
The Quicky speaks to three mothers who all had very different encounters breastfeeding their children, a Lactation Specialist, and an expert researcher to find out why every woman has a unique experience feeding their child.

Every day, the state and Federal Governments are begging us to go and get vaccinated for COVID-19, not only for our own benefit, but also for others as millions of Aussies remain in lockdown and suffering from pandemic fatigue.
But what happens when we do reach a point when most of us have had the jab? Could vaccine passports be the way to guarantee a future free from lockdowns and travel restrictions?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in tourism, an infectious disease specialist, and the Federal Minister for for Trade, Tourism and Investment to find out when vaccine passports might become a reality, and how exactly they will work.

Most of us have seen some major changes in the way we work over the past 18 months, but could working from home be just the start of a major work revolution?
The concept of a four day week has been considered and even trialled in many countries, but so far, very few Aussie companies have gotten on board with the idea, but those that have are finding it's not only possible, but hugely profitable.
The Quicky speaks to a business expert who has implemented the four day work week in her own company to find out how and why we should all look forward to working less.

Last week, Australia successfully lobbied enough countries to prevent UNESCO from labelling the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef as 'in danger'.
But pushback from environmental campaigners and several other nations who were furious about the move, and desperately want to see the iconic landmark better protected, has kept the spotlight on our Government.
The Quicky speaks to two reef experts who have spent decades exploring and managing the natural wonder to find out just how urgently we need to reverse the impacts of climate change, and what else we can all do to save this unique ecosystem before it's gone forever.

With millions of Aussies still in lockdown, it's tempting to look overseas and assume that other countries must be doing a better job when it comes to rolling out the vaccine, and rolling back the restrictions.
But one week after people in England celebrated their so-called 'Freedom Day', what has the impact been of removing almost all restrictions, supposedly once and for all?
The Quicky speaks to two experts based in England to find out whether what's happening there is the future of living with COVID-19, or a total disaster.

Earlier this month, a family on the NSW Central Coast was left devastated after their much-loved family pet went into the bedroom of their five week old baby in the middle of the night and mauled him to death.
That attack renewed calls from some that American Staffordshire Terriers should be banned from our communities outright, but is it the breed that is to blame, or might the training and socialisation of individual dogs be the key to reducing aggression?
The Quicky speaks to our very own American Staffy owner, and an expert in dog behaviour to find out what we can do to ensure that our fur babies don't pose a threat to anyone.
If you've suffered the loss, or are grieving for a child, you can reach out to the Sands Australia 24/7 bereavement support line on: 1300 308 307

Australia's closed international borders has been frustrating for many of us to say the least, but for some Aussies the price of 'Fortress Australia' has now become too high, leaving them with no choice but to exit the country for good.
Many of these people are highly skilled migrants, who came here for a better life and brought with them a wealth of experience and expertise that will be hard to replace, and have a serious impact on our economy.
The Quicky speaks to one such person who has returned with her family to France, and a financial journalist to find out why so many immigrants are waving goodbye to Australia, and what impact this 'brain drain' will have on those of us who are left behind.

It's estimated that 500,000 Aussies are currently walking around with type 2 diabetes, and don't know it.
Outdated stereotypes about who is most at risk from this condition are partly to blame, as it's easy to assume if we feel fit and healthy that we are ok.
The Quicky speaks to a well-known personality who just found out she has the condition, and an expert in diabetes research to debunk the myths and find out what exactly we should all be looking out for as warning signs.
Type 2 diabetes is the fastest growing chronic condition in Australia. To find out your risk of developing type 2 diabetes within the next five years, complete the following 11 short questions: https://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/risk-calculator

Making a will can be uncomfortable which is why many of us put it off, but the cutting out of Liz Hurley's son Damian from his late father, Steve Bing's family trust shows that even when you do have a will in place there are no guarantees.
We asked for your stories about family disputes over inheritance and were overwhelmed with sad responses, proving that even when you don't have millions of dollars at stake, things can still turn ugly after a family member dies.
The Quicky speaks to one listener who shares her horror story, and two legal experts in estate planning to find out what you can do to ensure that when you die, your surviving family members aren't left arguing about what you leave behind.

Like many mental health conditions, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, better known as ADHD, is poorly understood and riddled with stereotypes, making it difficult for girls and women in particular to receive a diagnosis.
This means many people get well into adulthood before anyone finally realises they are suffering from the condition, or can offer them any treatment.
The Quicky speaks to an expert in ADHD and a woman who was only diagnosed in her late 20's, to find out why myths and misunderstandings mean we continue to fail so many girls and women living with this condition.

It's been nearly 18 months since the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, but millions of Aussies are still living under lockdown and ongoing restrictions, fuelled by a slow vaccine rollout.
As a result, many of us have more questions than ever as misinformation continues to spread via social media, which isn't helped by confused and mixed messaging from our political leaders.

We often hear news stories about new research that suggests younger Aussies are choosing to drink less than those in older age groups, but is that true and if so, why?
It's easy to assume that lowering your consumption of alcohol can only be a good thing for your health, but might there also be some benefits to a moderate amount of drinking?
The Quicky speaks to a young, former drinker and an alcohol policy researcher to separate fact from fiction about just how much booze we are really drinking, and how bad or not it is for our overall wellbeing.

It's been nearly 30 years since the High Court of Australia finally recognised that Australia was never 'Terra nullius', or 'land belonging to no-one', so why do we continue to see irreplaceable sacred sites being destroyed by corporate interests?
And when it comes to land rights, how much of Australia is really now back in the hands of our First Nations people, and where?

Last week Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that vaccinations against COVID-19 will become mandatory for Aged Care workers, but few details were released about the new policy.
That has many people wondering if it's even legal for the Government to compel anyone to be vaccinated against their will, or to make them lose their jobs if they are willing but cannot access a vaccine?

It's NAIDOC Week 2021 and this year's theme is Heal Country! Tragically for the Anangu people of South Australia, their country may never heal from a series of nuclear blasts carried out by the British in the 1950's and 60's.
The Quicky speaks to a local First Nations campaigner who comes from a long line of outspoken traditional owners, an academic on Australia's dark nuclear past, and a nuclear engineer who was fired for trying to blow the whistle on a dismal clean-up effort, to find out why huge parts of SA will remain uninhabitable for millennia.
Worse still, we hear about the many disturbing medical conditions and premature deaths of countless local people, who were given no protection and no warning about the consequences of the atomic tests.

You may have been hearing the term 'Critical Race Theory' or CRT a lot over the past week, and like many other people be wondering what it is and why it matters if our children know about it.

Boyd Cordner is only 29. That's a young age to retire from the only job you've ever had, the job you love.
Boyd was the captain of the Sydney City Roosters Rugby League team when he retired last week - terrified of what another knock to the head might do to his future.
There's an increasing body of evidence that says knocks to the head while playing sport have some really frightening long term effects on men and women: including dementia, epilepsy and a host of other issues.

For three years now, Australia has been fascinated with the fate of the Murrugappan family.
The family of four had been living quietly in Biloela, Central QLD, when they were taken into detention in Melbourne, then on to Christmas Island.
When the baby of the family, Tharni, had to be flown to Perth from Christmas Island ill, the whole of Australia has held its breath to see what's next.
Minister Alex Hawke has allowed the family to stay in Perth community detention, but they're still at risk of being deported back to Sri Lanka.
Why doesn't the government want to let this family return to Biloela? What issues would such a move cause?

With no end in sight to Australia's closed international borders, the emotional toll of being separated from loved ones is starting to have a very severe impact on the nearly 1 in 3 Aussies who were born overseas.
For millions of us, countless missed birthdays, weddings, funerals and other milestones is taking a real mental and sometimes even physical toll on our wellbeing, and that's not to mention the impact on those who are locked out of the country and miss a final opportunity to see a loved one before they die.
The Quicky speaks to an intensive care doctor, her partner who is stuck overseas, and a psychologist to find out just how bad the situation has become, and how much more we can all realistically take.

Harry and Meghan's daughter Lilibet Diana Mountbatten Windsor is just one week old, but already there are hopes that Queen Elizabeth's great-granddaughter could help to mend the relationship between Prince William and his brother.
But how will little Lili fit into the Royal family, and will she receive a title?
The Quicky speaks to Mamamia's Royal Correspondent to find out how titles are bestowed upon each member of the family, and how they will all change once Her Majesty is no longer on the throne.

You may have noticed that news outlets have started referring to the more common strains of COVID-19 by letters of the Greek alphabet, such as Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma.
The World Health Organisation believes this will help to eliminate prejudice and discrimination against the places where each variant originated, but many argue it also makes it harder to stay on top of the latest developments.
The Quicky speaks to an expert Virologist to find out which strain is which, and whether the emergence of new variants of COVID-19 could see this pandemic last forever.

Last month the bodies of at least 215 children were found at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in Canada, where First Nations children were taken after being forcibly removed from their families in an effort to eradicate their culture entirely.
Despite the obvious cruelty and abuse committed against an estimated 150,000 children and their families in these church-run, government-funded institutions, the Pope has refused to apologise for the harm caused.
The Quicky investigates why these mass graves have only just been discovered, and how many more First Nations children remain missing.

Chrissy Teigen has had to do a lot of apologising lately, after decade-old tweets and messages emerged showing she verbally abused a number of young celebrities, including Courtney Stodden, Lindsay Lohan and Avril Lavigne.
Could this really be an example of 'toxic femininity', and what does that term even mean?
The Quicky speaks to two feminists about whether toxic femininity really exists, or if this term is just another way for mainstream misogynists to target women.

We're being told that Melbourne's latest COVID-19 outbreak wouldn't have been so bad if more people had been vaccinated, but even if you are technically eligible, trying to actually get a jab can be very difficult.
Making matters worse is the fact that every state and territory has its own systems and processes, and there is very little information publicly available about how many vaccines we have and where.
The Quicky speaks to a journalist who has been trying to track Australia's vaccination program and an epidemiologist to find out why our rollout continues to be so slow.

Japanese tennis champion Naomi Osaka sparked controversy over her decision not speak to media at the French Open, before withdrawing from the competition altogether.
Her reasoning that it is detrimental to her mental health saw many of her peers lash out and say she should just get on with her job, but what happens to those of us with more normal roles, who cannot afford to walk away from our responsibilities?
The Quicky speaks to a psychologist and an industrial relations expert to find out what obligations you have to your employer if your duties impact your mental wellbeing, but more importantly, what obligations they have to look after you.

As Prince Harry continues to speak out publicly about his personal life, the often strained relationship with his father Prince Charles keeps coming up as a key reason why he acted out and felt isolated as a young man.
No doubt this was one of many complicated factors having lived his entire life in the public eye, but what about for the rest of us who live more ordinary lives and have fraught relationships with our parents - can we blame them for our bad behaviour?
The Quicky speaks to a psychologist to find out whether it is all mum and dad's fault, or if at some point we all have to start owning our actions and face the consequences.

It is National Reconciliation Week 2021, and the theme this year is More than a word. Reconciliation takes action.
A significant part of that includes acknowledging the damage done to the First Nations people who are part of the Stolen Generations - those who were forcibly removed, as children, from their families and communities and placed into institutional care or with non-Indigenous foster families.
Inspired by this year's Reconciliation theme, The Quicky speaks to an expert in healing to consider what we can all do to not only acknowledge the brutality of our past, but also recognise and address what is still happening today.

DNA testing is becoming increasingly popular, with more and more of us sending off a saliva sample to learn about our ancestry and health conditions.
But despite the number of slick advertising campaigns used by many online companies, there is a dark side to this industry as you can never be certain where your DNA will end up.
The Quicky speaks to two experts in bio-ethics, and one of Mamamia's own who has offered up her DNA for multiple tests to find out how accurate they are, and if we should be concerned about our most personal information being shared without our knowledge.

While the whole world is focused on defeating COVID-19, it seems Aussies have become complacent when it comes to protecting ourselves against other diseases, which has led to a series of recent Syphilis outbreaks in Melbourne.
But this isn't the only sexually transmitted infection that is on the rise in both our cities and regional areas.
The Quicky speaks to two experts, and a mother who only found out she had an STI when she became pregnant, to find out why so many of us are being infected and often don't realise it until many years later when the damage has already been done.

Over the past week, horrendous images of violence, death and destruction have dominated news headlines, as tensions between Israel and Palestine have flared up once again.
For many outsiders, the source of the historical and current tension remains confusing as the region has a complex history when it comes to the long-running territorial dispute.
The Quicky speaks to an expert in Middle East affairs to unpack the historical background, what has prompted this latest spark in tensions, and whether Israelis and Palestinians might be headed for all-out war.

It's been more than one year since the Federal Government took the unprecedented step of closing Australia's international borders, forbidding almost everyone from entering, or leaving the country.
But just how long exactly can we remain a closed shop, especially as the emotional toll is beginning to hit Australians as hard as the economic implications, with so many of us missing loved ones overseas?

The entire Australian school curriculum is currently under review, with the intention of scaling back humanities subjects, increasing focus on problem solving, and reflecting a more honest account of the invasion story of our First Nations People.
But with teachers already under significant strain, what do they think about the proposed changes, and will it just create more work?
The Quicky speaks to two experts in teaching to consider whether this is enough to make a real contribution to further the goal of national reconciliation, and if the other changes will help or hinder students.

It's no secret that if you're a woman aged in your 20's, 30's or 40's, you can expect to be asked on almost a daily basis whether or not you have, or want to have children.
For some, this will open a happy conversation about the joys of parenthood, but for many others it's the start of a far more difficult and defensive discussion about why not, and sometimes even why wish we hadn't become a mother.
The Quicky speaks to three expert women to find out why feeling ambivalent about having children, even after you've given birth, is still considered too dangerous to be discussed in public.

Life coaches have been around for decades, but rather than the big stadium-filled hype sessions of the 90's, the new generation of self-help gurus are using their Instagram following to push messages of inner strength and positive decision making.
But what exactly is a life coach, and what qualifications do you need to become one?
The Quicky speaks to three life coaching and psychology professionals to find out whether these self-proclaimed 'experts' can really help you move ahead in life, or if they are charlatans praying on vulnerable individuals who really need to see a qualified therapist.

Kobi Shepherdson, Kelly Wilkinson, Hannah Clarke and her three kids - these are just some of the many women and children who should have been protected from violent ex-partners and fathers by an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) but weren't.
Tragically they all died at the hands of men who were supposed to love and care for them, even after the women did everything they could to protect themselves and their children using the official systems that are designed to keep dangerous men at bay.
The Quicky speaks to three experts in domestic and family violence to discuss why AVOs and other formal options don't always protect vulnerable people, and what more could and should be done to stop violent men before they commit atrocities.

Getting a divorce is for many people one of the worst experiences of their life, but when your soon-to-be-ex spouse is one of the wealthiest and most famous people in the world, things can be really complicated.
This week Bill and Melinda Gates announced they will be going their separate ways after more than 27 years of matrimony, but how do you even begin that process when there are hundreds of billions of dollars at stake?
The Quicky speaks to an American Lawyer who has represented some of the biggest stars in the world, and an Australian Family Law specialist to find out how divorce among the super rich actually works.

With thousands of Aussies still stranded overseas amid the pandemic, calls to open our offshore detention facilities to quarantine returned travellers are mounting.
But the Federal Government says locations such as the Christmas Island Detention Centre are 'not fit for purpose', even though it has spent millions of taxpayer dollars to house a Tamil family from Biloela there for nearly two years.
The Quicky speaks to a former employee at the Christmas Island Detention Centre, and an advocate for Priya and Nades Murugappan and their two young daughters, to find out what exactly life is like in one of Australia's most hidden detention facilities.

We've come a long way when it comes to discussing topics in public that used to be considered taboo or referred to as 'women's business', but one issue that is still shunned by society is menopause.
Given the obsession with looking and feeling young, it can be difficult for anyone to have an open and honest discussion about this stage of a woman's life, which in turn can have seriously negative physical and psychological impacts.
The Quicky speaks to an expert doctor and a woman currently living through menopause about what it's really like, and lift the lid on some common misconceptions about symptoms and treatments.

When the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games were deferred until 2021 due to COVID-19, both organisers and fans hoped we would be well past the peak of the pandemic by the time July 2021 came round.
But with just two months to go, we know the global number of cases and deaths are higher than ever, and even those of us in Australia whose lives are almost back to normal are still thinking about the dangers and impact of the virus on a daily basis.
The Quicky speaks to two Olympic and Paralympic officials, as well as a current Olympian to find out whether the Games will finally go ahead, and if it's morally wrong to send our athletes into such an uncertain environment in the name of sport.

With hundreds of thousands of Indian people testing to positive to COVID-19 every day, thousands dying and many more searching desperately for help, it's no wonder many Indian Australians are suffering with a sense of guilt that they are here.
We speak to Aussies who have people back in India to find out from them what's really happening to their loved ones, and how they're handling the Australian Government's handling of those wanting to return home.

Many Drag Queens have been propelled into international stardom as RuPaul's Drag Race has elevated the art form into the homes of the masses, but not everyone has been invited to the party.
Despite calls for greater diversity, Drag Kings and Trans artists have been largely left out of the spotlight, but that doesn't mean they don't exist or perform regularly to adoring fans.
The Quicky speaks to four very different artists and an expert in drag culture to try and answer the question, where are all the Drag Kings?

Lately, Prime Minister Scott Morrison's religion has come under increased scrutiny, with many seeking to deride him for the traditions of his Pentecostal faith, but you might be wondering why this matters all of a sudden?

Late last week, leaders from around the world including our own Prime Minister jumped on an epic Zoom call to be a part of US President Joe Biden's virtual climate conference.
Many of the nations present clearly stated their commitment to achieving net zero emissions by the year 2050, but when it came to Scott Morrison, he was reluctant to put any date on achieving that goal.
To find out why and what net zero emissions will mean for your life, The Quicky speaks to a climate change expert to find out if it is possible for Australia to radically reduce our emissions, without having a seriously negative impact on our everyday lives.

One in three Aussies will need a blood transfusion at some point to save their lives, but at the moment, only about one in 30 of us are rolling up our sleeves to donate.
Part of the problem is that millions of willing donors are automatically ruled out by an extensive list of restrictions relating to not only our current health, but also our lifestyle choices and sex lives.
The Quicky investigates why there are so many limitations on who can donate blood in Australia, and speaks to a doctor to find out if these rules are still appropriate, or based on outdated assumptions.

It's a well known cliche that men can be hesitant when it comes to looking after their own health, especially when they are worried about a particularly personal problem.

Prince Philip's death has reminded us all of the grim reality that the Queen may not be long for this world, which begs the question of what will become of the British Royal Family once she too has passed?
Given the number of rifts and scandals currently plaguing several of the younger members of the Windsor household, many are starting to wonder if this ancient system of sovereignty has outlasted its relevance.
The Quicky discusses what the future of the monarchy might look like when Prince Charles ascends to the role of King, and what the alternatives are for Australia if we don't in fact want to remain tied to the Crown.

It has been 30 years to the day since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody handed down its report, containing a shocking 339 recommendations to stop First Nations people dying at an alarming rate.
But three decades on the situation has only gotten worse, with a disgraceful five Aboriginal deaths in custody in 2021 already.
The Quicky speaks to two proud First Nations leaders to find out what if anything has been done since 1991 to try and address this issue, and discuss why we continue to see disproportionate rates of incarceration among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

On Friday 9th April 2021 Prince Philip died at the age of 99, bringing an end to his 73-year marriage to Queen Elizabeth II.
While much of the world is in mourning, there can be no doubt the Duke of Edinburgh remains as controversial in death as he was in life, leaving behind a complicated legacy.
The Quicky speaks to a Royal biographer to look back on the highs and lows of nearly a century spent in the shadow of the Crown, and whether his death could help to repair ongoing rifts in the Royal family.

Many of us are feeling frustrated that the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Australia is way behind schedule, especially as we see other countries like the United States administering as many as three million shots per day.
But despite several nations boasting about their immunisation programs, they continue to experience thousands of new cases and deaths every single day.
The Quicky investigates why India, Brazil, the US and UK among others continue to struggle with multiple new strains of Coronavirus, and how we should be feeling about our own Government's progress.

Following a never-ending string or horrific allegations of bullying and sexual assault, several Liberal and National MPs have been forced to undergo empathy training to try and rectify their inappropriate behaviour.
But can you really teach someone to feel empathy, and is that going to be enough to resolve the deep-seated misogyny and lack of respect in our Federal Parliament?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in empathy training to find out what it involves, and whether it can in fact prevent such vile actions in future.

The Federal Government has published a new report into the gender pay gap, and the findings are not good.
Despite decades of effort from many dedicated groups and individuals, it concluded that we could be walking on Mars before women receive equal pay for doing the same work as their male counterparts in Australia.
The Quicky investigates why this serious problem continues to wreak havoc on the workforce, and how we can practically bring about positive change to ensure women take home the money they deserve.

The pressure on women to have a perfect body is never ending, and right now the hottest trend is to have a big peachy behind like Kim Kardashian, Cardi B and countless other celebrities.
So it's no surprise that the world's most popular cosmetic surgery is the Brazilian Butt Lift, aka the BBL, but this exotic sounding procedure can come at a hefty price.
The Quicky investigates exactly how so many influencers are achieving this look, and the deadly complications that can arise when BBL surgery goes horribly wrong.

Changing your name after marriage has been common practice for women for hundreds of years, but have you ever stopped to consider why, and whether you can still be a feminist if you follow this patriarchal tradition?
And what about if you want to change your name for other reasons, like you've fallen out with your family, or you are transgender, what are the practical and social implications then?
The Quicky speaks to a feminist researcher and a transgender academic to find out why we continue to perpetuate these old ideals, and why so many other people seem to think they have a right to dictate what we call ourselves or our children.

With an ongoing series of disturbing allegations of sexual harassment and bullying in Parliament House, many people are questioning whether quotas aiming for 50% female representation might help to burst Canberra's misogynistic bubble.
It's not a new idea but it remains deeply divisive as many men and women insist people should be hired and promoted based solely on merit, but if that is supposedly already happening, why do we still see so few women at the top?
The Quicky speaks to an expert in business and economics to find out how unofficial quotas are already in place in many offices helping men to get ahead, and why we shouldn't be afraid to embrace quotas for women.

If there's one thing that is inevitable in life, it's death, so why do many of us find it so hard to talk about?
Many ancient and modern cultures around the world, including Australia's First Nations have elaborate ceremonies, festivals and rituals that help people to let go of their loved ones, but in Western societies death and grief are often hidden away and suppressed.
The Quicky speaks to a grief counsellor and two artists to find out how we can start having more open and honest conversations about dying and saying goodbye.

In regional NSW an alleged cult leader has been charged with slavery offences after being accused of subjecting a woman to physical, sexual and psychological abuse.
The 40-year-old former Australian Defence Force member had been boasting about his activities with several women whom he referred to as his 'slaves' on social media for years, and allegedly encouraged others to follow in his footsteps.
The Quicky speaks to experts in slavery and policing to find out why it took so long for this case to be investigated, and how it could be pivotal in highlighting that modern slavery in Australia is far more common than we realise.

Over the past few weeks you have probably seen images on the news and social media showing a plague of mice that has become the latest burden on our farmers and regional communities.
While it's easy for those of us in big cities to perceive this as a cute quirk of our unique landscape, it is no laughing matter for the millions of people living through this nightmare.
The Quicky speaks to an expert in mice populations and a grain farmer to find out why their numbers have suddenly exploded across Australia, and what it means to wake up every day surrounded by millions of scurrying rodents.

Australia is facing a watershed moment as millions of women and girls are standing up and demanding to be heard, because we are tired of hiding the truth of what is done to us on a daily basis, and tired of protecting the perpetrators.
For the first time, this episode ofThe Quicky is for the men in your life to let them know just how common women and girls are being harassed and assaulted not just in private, but even in broad daylight.
This is what men need to hear, and what men need to understand about what they can and should be doing to make every space, public or private, a safe one for all women and girls.

Last week eight innocent people were shot dead in Atlanta, six of whom were women from Asian backgrounds, allegedly killed by a young white man.
Local police were keen to shut down any suggestions that the attack was racially motivated, but many Asian people say this is just another example of systemic racism that has accelerated during the pandemic.
The Quicky investigates whether hideous stereotypes may have led to this assault, and how a long history of crude assumptions and misconceptions about Asian women continues to cause serious harm.

We've been hearing the term 'boys club' bandied around a fair bit surrounding the culture in Canberra... but what does it actually look like?
Is it all leather couches and cigar smoking, or is it more about a culture that leaves mostly middle age white men making all the decisions with little input from others?
The Quicky speaks to two female politicians and a female publisher who have experienced the 'boys club' on a daily basis to find out how we can move past it, and include everyone at the table.

While many of us love a cheating scandal on our favourite reality TV show, it is much more difficult to talk about when it is happening to us, even though Australians are ranked fourth-highest in the world when it comes to doing the dirty on a partner.
The Quicky showcases some of your true stories to investigate why it's so much easier to cheat than it is to talk about it, and whether it is ever possible to repair a relationship once that trust has been broken.

The case of one of Australia's most notorious serial killers Kathleen Folbigg has fascinated people across the world since she was accused and convicted of murdering her four young children.
But new evidence has led to 90 prominent scientists, including Nobel laureates and other leading Australian and international researchers to call for her to be pardoned and released from jail.
The Quicky speaks to one of the experts to unpack the science and examine whether rare genetic mutations could be to blame for all four deaths, and what that means for our justice system that was perhaps too keen to convict her.

When we heard that Harry and Meghan were going to sit down for a no-holds-barred chat with talk show queen Oprah Winfrey, we knew it wouldn't paint a pretty picture of life as a princess.
But the shocking revelations about racism, constant harassment by the press, and an unwillingness to offer Meghan any support for her mental health were even worse than we imagined.
The Quicky investigates the reality of being Royal, and why we continue to believe in and perpetuate the false and dangerous narrative about young girls turning into princesses and having the perfect life when they meet their Prince Charming.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, and despite nearly one million Aussie women suffering from this chronic condition, many of us still know very little about it.
That includes doctors, who continue to investigate the causes and potential cures for the illness more than 3,000 years after it was first identified in Ancient Egypt.
The Quicky speaks to several women and experts who suffer from Endo themselves to find out what we should all know about this very common but rarely understood disease.

Happy International Women's Day!
The term feminism has been around since the early 1800's, but despite multiple waves of feminism over the decades, it remains a somewhat controversial term.
The Quicky speaks to an expert and several women around the office to find out what feminism means to them in 2021, and whether we still need it?

Just over one week ago, a letter was sent to the offices of Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Labor Senator Penny Wong and Greens Senator Sarah Hanson Young detailing horrific allegations of an historical rape against a senior Cabinet Minister.
On Wednesday, Attorney General Christian Porter revealed he was the accused perpetrator but categorically denied the allegation and has so far refused calls to stand down from his role.
The Quicky speaks to the alleged victim's lawyer to discuss the legal side of the allegations, why the police concluded the investigation so quickly and what could or should happen from here.

As we remain on home turf for the foreseeable future, the idea of owning a pet has never been more attractive, but the theft of two of Lady Gaga's French Bulldogs has made many of us afraid for the safety of our beloved fur babies.

For many young people becoming a world-famous sports star is the ultimate dream, but for those lucky few who do achieve great success the fame and fortune is often short-lived.
Even the very best athletes usually retire by the time they hit their mid-30's, and figuring out what to do with the rest of their lives can be very challenging, which is why we see so many spectacularly fall from grace.
The Quicky speaks to two of Australia's most elite athletes and an expert in sports psychology, to find out what happens once the spotlight moves on to someone else, and what can be done to help athletes transition to a normal life.

Going to see your doctor should never be a bad experience, but for many women the reality is that instead of getting the medical treatment they need, everything is blamed on their weight.
Weight bias or weight stigma - aka fat shaming - should not be part of any medical professional's mindset, but hundreds of women got in touch to tell us their own scarring experience inside the examination room.
The Quicky investigates why old stereotypes about weight still persist, how a doctor should talk to their patient if they are genuinely concerned, and what to do if you're not happy about how you've been treated.

For decades, the beautiful country of Myanmar was considered a pariah state, as it was forcibly ruled by a committee of military leaders who kept popular leader Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest for years at a time.
After her release, and despite winning a Nobel Peace Prize, Ms Suu Kyi came under fire for her lack of action over the persecution of the Rohingya Muslim minority who have been violently removed from their homes, sparking a new refugee crisis.
The Quicky explains why Ms Suu Kyi is now back under house arrest amid yet another military coup.

Many of us dream of investing in the stock market and making a fortune, but it can feel extremely confusing and dangerous if you're not a natural gambler.
But a group of Reddit users have found a way to take on the traders and wiped billions of dollars off the market almost overnight, some of which comes from your Superannuation fund.
The Quicky investigates the GameStop phenomenon and how the little guy got one over on the wolves of Wall Street.

With over 400,000 deaths and more than 25 million cases, the United States appears to be the worst hit nation in the world when it comes to Covid-19.
But a closer look at the figures reveals that while they are the most affected in terms of the total numbers, they are far from being the worst on a per capita or any other basis.
The Quicky tries to make sense of all the data, to discover which countries have really been hardest hit by the Coronavirus pandemic.

Many people have no desire whatsoever to have their own children, so why does society find it so confronting to hear and believe someone when they express that feeling out loud?
And why must women who are childfree by choice constantly defend their decisions even to complete strangers?
The Quicky speaks to two successful women who have bucked the expectations placed on them because of their gender, and a feminist psychotherapist who explains why there is so much judgement facing those who choose not to procreate.

The transition from the Trump administration to Joe Biden's is not going smoothly.
With Trump's team launching lawsuits questioning election outcomes across the country, the democratic process itself is being called into question, and while those lawsuits are pending there's a man in the oval office who still has the full powers of the President of the United States.
The Quicky unpacks the worst case scenario if Donald Trump follows through on promises and why he continues to fight the election result despite the odds being stacked against him.

When US President Donald Trump nominated Amy Coney Barrett to replace Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, he sent a very clear message to his supporters.
The devout Catholic will shift the balance of power in the court to an overwhelming conservative majority, a shift that will shape the laws of America for decades to come.
So who is Amy Coney Barrett and why are Republicans concerned the choices she makes in her private life will affect those she makes in court.

It's been well documented that the global COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdowns associated with stopping its spread has effected the mental health of humans across the globe.

It's shocked our nation: a muck up day list of pranks including spitting on a homeless person from Year 12 boys at Sydney's Church of England Grammar School (Shore).
Yet the sexist, racist list didn't shock everyone. Since the list was made public it's kicked off a conversation about the culture of single-sex private schools.
The Quicky digs in and finds out what this culture is and how it influences our society.

When Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Friday, America immediately mourned a great life lived, and started talking about who would take her seat on the US Supreme Court bench.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court during the Clinton Presidency, and since then, became known for correcting laws that prejudiced against women.
President Donald Trump has made it very clear it's a woman he'll appoint, and that he's keen to appoint someone before the election.
The Quicky looks back at the incredible life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, at what her death means for the US judicial system and who the likely candidates are.

Around the world, studies are being done with psychedelic drugs in various ways hoping that they might be a silver bullet for the treatment of mental illness.
Since the widespread use of them in the 1960s and their links to the counterculture of the time, the drugs haven't been taken seriously - until now.
The Quicky investigates some of the studies being done and asks whether psychedelics could be the key to wellness for some mental illness.

Last week, a tweet by writer Doug Murano went viral. It said:
"I get tired of “under 40” lists. Show me someone who got their PhD at 60 after losing everything. Give me the 70-year-old debut novelist who writes from a lifetime of love and grief. Give me calloused hands and tender hearts."
Under it, were hundreds of examples of people who'd changed their lives, or achieved their life's purpose over the age of 40.
So, we wanted you to meet some incredible women who have done that very thing - Maria Georgiou, who launched her interior design career at 40, Dr Louise Randall, who began her medical degree in her late forties and Vicki Laveau-Harvie, who published her first book (which won the Stella Prize!) in her seventies.

Melania Trump is one of the great mysteries of the Trump Presidency.

So, who is Melania Trump? And is there much truth to a new book about her, by her so-called best friend?

There have been calls by members of the New Zealand Government to extradite the gunman back to Australia, so his actions don't cost New Zealanders anything more.
Is this a possibility? The Quicky investigates.

It's not just in spy movies the Russian Government uses bio-warfare (a.k.a. poison) to silence its enemies.
There's a rich history of it that goes back much further than the tragic London death of Alexander Litvenenko. Over the last few weeks we've seen Putin enemy Alexei Navalny 'probably poisoned' by a cup of tea.

For thirty four years, Gary Jubelin tried to catch murderers. His most famous case has been the disappearance of William Tyrrell, a case still officially unsolved.
It's gruelling work and just because you've found the killer, doesn't mean you can get them behind bars.

On the surface, it looks as though Joe Biden's life might have been fairly easy: a successful lawyer and politician from a young age, and a steady climb to the top of the American political elite with only minor scandals.
Yet, Joe Biden's person life has been the opposite of easy. From the time his wife and young daughter were killed in a tragic accident in 1972, he's faced unbelievable challenge and tragedy.
The Quicky tells his story.

What's it like giving birth in Australia during the COVID19 pandemic?
Continuity of care is so important to a woman having a baby. How is it possible when face-to-face care is becoming more and more rare? A woman almost always has to be in a small room for longer than 15 minutes while in labor, so how is the actual birthing process working?
The Quicky decided to find out the new reality of having a baby, particularly in Melbourne while Stage 4 Lockdown is in place.

Now, he's casting doubt on the US Postal vote system, a system that's been in place, and widely recognised as successful, since the Civil War (1860s).
Is he trying to rig the election?

It claims to have remarkable access to more than 100 sources close to the former Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan.
For anyone who's been watching the Royal family for a long time, this feels familiar. Very familiar.
Are Harry and Meghan repeating the mistake Princess Diana made with Andrew Morton's blistering best seller Diana: Her True Story?

Leaders around the world have employed different strategies in fighting COVID19.
None more controversially than Sweden, a country that never went into lockdown. And the UK, who never closed their borders and finds the government facing blunder after blunder.
As for China... we haven't heard much about how the virus is going there lately.
So The Quicky thought it was time to catch up with three very different strategies and see how life is inside each of these countries.

Even before the umbrella incident of 2007, Britney Spears was a controversial pop star. Her every move - including her virginity - was hotly gossiped about.
Since 2008, she's been living under a 'conservatorship' - for the most part, her decisions and finances being controlled by her father. That looks like it might be changing.
Over COVID19 lockdown, Britney's been posting a series of instagram posts, causing fans to form theories on what's actually going on for her.
The Quicky looks at her life over the last 13 years, and how the future is looking for her.

Contact tracing is a big job in Australia, and it's getting bigger the more cases of COVID19 that are diagnosed.
How does it actually work? How does the government find out everyone who's been in contact with an infected person? Is it a perfect system? And how about the COVIDSafe App, is it making a difference?

It's been 19 years since backpacker Peter Falconio went missing while travelling through the Northern Territory with his girlfriend Joanne Lees. His body has never been found.
Bradley John Murdoch is in jail, found guilty of his murder. Books have been written, hundreds of articles published and a miniseries made. Channel 7 recently screened a new documentary about the case, claiming to have new information and it was a big ratings winner.
Why can't we let Peter and Joanne's story go? And, will Peter Falconio's body ever be found?

Kayne West has announced he's running for President of the United States... again.
So far, he hasn't registered to run, there's no website for his newly created 'The Birthday Party' and the people around him say it isn't going to happen.
So was this all just another publicity stunt? Or is there a chance we could be seeing the inauguration of President Kayne in 2024? After all, Americans do love a celebrity leader.

Sacha Baron Cohen, most famous for playing characters who go undercover exposing exposing racism, homophobia and misogyny, has been very vocal about what he thinks the shortcomings of facebook are: calling them out as the purveyors of hate speech.
Now, there's a powerful campaign aiming to get as many businesses as possible to boycott advertising on Facebook in the hopes hitting them in the hip pocket will be the thing that makes them take action on spreading lies, fear and hate.

Walking down a crowded city street in Australia, sure, you'll see a few people wearing masks but not that many.
In some places in the USA, they're mandated, and that's causing a lot of drama. There's even a rise of 'anti-maskers'.
So, what's the deal here in Australia? With the outbreak in Victoria, is it time we started wearing masks to protect ourselves and others from COVID19?

Last week, a bombshell rocked Australia's legal world. Former Justice of the High Court, Dyson Heydon was accused of several cases of sexual harassment.

Once upon a time, Megan Fox was the Hollywood starlet of the moment. Devastatingly beautiful and sexy, she was the perfect bombshell for the action movies she appeared in.
Then, after being labelled by media and the film industry as 'difficult' and 'untalented' and 'slutty', she vanished from our screens - but not before telling us why, except we weren't listening.
In 2020, we look at her struggle through a different lens, and ask whether Megan Fox is owed a huge apology.

It's really felt like life's been getting back to normal the past few weeks, hasn't it? Almost like COVID19 is something that happened overseas, not really to us here in Australia. More people are going back to the office. Cafes are crowded again. Train stations are busy.
Then, Victoria recorded a heap of new cases over the weekend and the Premier, Daniel Andrews, wound back freedoms instantly.
Are we seeing the beginning of the second wave? Have we been too comfortable?

It hasn't, until now, been part of our national conversation.

At the beginning of the pandemic, parents all around the country rejoiced when the Prime Minister announced the Government would be footing the bill for child care.
For once, primary carers of small children didn't have to negotiate the complicated and expensive day care system.

Have we missed a big opportunity to reform child care? Can we afford to make changes? Can we afford not to?

In the past, when the world has stared down a great trauma, there's been a baby boom afterwards.
Because, in spite of drama and trauma, we can always still have sex right?
Turns out, there probably won't be a baby boom after COVID-19 though, because despite all this at home time together there are several reasons why we're just not getting it on.
The Quicky digs into the reasons for this collective libido drop.

For most economies around the world, these past few months have been an exercise in balancing a financial crisis with a public health crisis and for many it will be years until they recover.

With violence breaking out in cities across the US after the death of George Floyd, it's never been a more unsettling time to be an American.
President Donald Trump's speeches and tweets are becoming increasingly undemocratic, and he's been accused from both sides of the political divide of fanning the flames of discontent.
Can America survive another four years of his presidency if he's reelected in November?

It's the shocking scandal that's rocked a small Jewish community in Melbourne, and now it looks as though it will finally make its way into the courts here in Australia.
Malka Leifer was the esteemed principal of the Adass Israel School who fled to Israel after being accused of sexual abuse by eight of her former students.
For six years, sisters Dassi Erlich, Nicole Meyer and Elly Sapper have campaigned to bring her back to Australia to face a trial.
Late last month it was announced that Liefer, who had avoided justice for 6 years by claiming illness, was mentally fit to stand trial.
The Quicky chats with Nicole about how the news is being welcomed by her family.

When George Floyd pleaded with American policemen to let him breathe, his words had a ghostly echo Australians can't deny. 26-year-old Dunghutti man, David Dungay, died in Long Bay Jail five years ago, telling guards the exact same thing.
Today The Quicky looks at the uprising taking place in the USA in the wake of George Floyd's death and we look at our own shameful past of Aboriginal deaths in custody.

54-year-old Ann Marie Smith's death not only shocked the leafy part of Adelaide where she lived out her final days, but it shocked the entire nation.
Ms Smith, who lived alone with cerebral palsy and was unable to walk or bathe herself. She hadn't been moved or taken to the toilet by her daily carer for an undetermined stretch of time, and was suffering injuries she was unable to recover from when rushed to hospital.
Police have launched a manslaughter investigation.
What does Ann Marie's life say about the way Australia treats those with disabilities? And, will her death change anything in the future?

If you've turned on the internet, checked your instagram or logged in to Facebook in the last few months, you will have seen a conspiracy theory somewhere. And, guess what? There's every chance that conspiracy came from a dark part of the internet called QAnon.
So, who is QAnon? Is it a person? An organisation? Or a church, as some are now starting to believe?

Weird dreams are something most people are confessing to (or keeping a secret) during COVID19 lockdowns.
What's at play here? Is it our subconscious working through the trauma of living through a global pandemic? Or is it something simple like, we're all eating too much cheese before bed?

The Australian property market has become so overpriced, generations have been left out of it.
With COVID-19 essentially freezing our economy, will the prices actually go down? And if they do, will it allow people previously unable to get into the market, to finally get a foot in the door?

In September 2018, Kylie Moore-Gilbert was taken into custody in Iran, and put in jail.
The Australian-British Academic, from the University of Melbourne, was charged with espionage and has been in jail ever since. The Iranian government released thousands of inmates during the COVID19 crisis but Kylie wasn't one of them.
Why is she still in jail? Why are the Australian Government not being louder in their dissent?

If you're a bit famous, you must be rich, right? Wrong. Especially in Australia's entertainment industry, where there are fewer big gigs and even scripted television is made for smaller budgets.
So, what has happened to Australia's artists since theatres, pubs and all live entertainment venues have been shut down? In short, they've lost pretty much all their income for the foreseeable future.
To redress this, Stan has commissioned a lockdown comedy festival and we're chatting with its producer and two of its stars about what a comedy career is without an audience.

Last month, we met Maria in Spain, Roberta in Italy and Lotta in London.
Maria had just cancelled her wedding and was in lock down with her fiancee and both their mothers.
Roberta's was in lock down with her two children, seeing her husband's whole industry (cruise ships) collapse.
Lotta had a suspected case of COVID19 she couldn't get tested for, so had been quarantined at home.
Where are these women now? How are they going?

There are a few different experiences happening at the moment for those working from home: some people can't wait to get back into the office and some are loving the flexibility of being home.
What does this time mean for the future of our working lives? Are we getting enough work done? Are we doing too much? What are we missing?

Jacinda Ardern is equally at home in front of a lectern giving a big speech as she is in her trackies on a Facebook live.
Her navigation of New Zealand's COVID19 Crisis has seen (comparatively) few infections and casualties as a result and 87% of New Zealanders agree they're happy to extend the country's lock down if it means keeping up those statistics.
Ardern's empathy compared to other world leaders seeing this as a battle has been internationally applauded - so does this mean the model for leadership is changing because of her?

Kim Jong Un is allegedly sick, we say allegedly because we can't say for sure. In the spirit of North Korean secrecy, the details of the Great Leader's condition is very closely guarded.
It's been revealed he has at least two children, but neither are old enough to be the next leader of North Korea, if Kim Jong Un should die.
Could his sister, Kim Yo Jong, a powerful member of the Workers' Party of Korea be the next leader?

In early April, 40 year old Maeve McKean and her eight year old son Gideon got into a kayak while isolating at her mother's home in Maryland, USA. They never came home.
Immediately their deaths became talked about under a tragic umbrella, was Maeve, the granddaughter of Robert and Ethel Kennedy, another victim of 'The Kennedy Curse'?
Today, the Quicky team looks at all the tragedy that has struck the Kennedy family from Rosemary Kennedy's lobotomy in the 1940s to today.

It's part of the national conversation - should the kids go back to school classrooms when the holidays are finished?
Victoria is already back, with online learning. Queensland is back on Monday, planning five weeks of online learning at least.
Yet, the Prime Minister wants children to physically go back to school now.

You've seen them: floating around on your friend's facebook page, popping up in your Twitter feed, maybe they've even made an appearance during a video call with your sister in law. COVID19 conspiracies.
As people try to make sense of what's happening to our world at the moment, people who need answers (or want to sell you something) are coming up with all types of conspiracies.

All around the country, State Governments and the Federal Government are giving the same message: this Easter Weekend, you need to stay at home.
Why? Surely it's okay if you're going to stay in a house and not go into town? Isn't it safer to be in a smaller place, where there are less people infected by COVID19?
The Quicky answers all these questions. Basically, you need to stay at home, friend.

The week has been filled with stories of people being taken straight from the airport and into quarantine in hotels across the country.
These international travellers have been mocked for speaking out about the conditions they found inside: a lack of fresh air, space for exercise and average food.

America has now overtaken China in the unenviable spot as the country with most diagnoses of COVID-19.
It's fair to say President Donald Trump's leadership has flip flopped from believing Coronavirus a hoax, to being "at war with a deadly virus" that might kill 240,000 Americans.
With an election coming soon, will Trump get to be president for a second term?

Most kids are at home now and social media is filled with pictures of what this means for families around Australia and the world. For some, this means timetables and every moment accounted for. For others, it's screens, backyards, games and fun.
What's it meant to be? Does it have to be one or the other?
The Quicky has sought out some people who are used to coming up with things for kids to do - a homeschooling mother and a playgroup facilitator. They've come up with a bunch of things for you to do with the kids to help those hours go by.

While the government is talking a lot about the number of tests it's been doing on possible COVID19 cases, not everyone is being given the green light to be tested.
Why are some people eligible for testing, when they show no symptoms, yet some people who exhibit many aren't allowed?
In this episode you'll meet Jenny, she had so many of the COVID19 symptoms she was taken to hospital yet still refused a test; and Mamamia podcaster Rachel Corbett tells us about why she had to be tested when she wasn't sick at all.
Dr Brad McKay joins to talk about the latest on testing.

Warning: This episode of The Quicky contains the discussion of sexual assault and rape. If this brings up anything for you please call 1800 RESPECT
It's a major moment for the #MeToo movement. Harvey Weinstein is in jail.
The disgraced movie producer has been found guilty of sexual assault and third-degree rape, but acquitted on two counts of predatory sexual assault and another count of first-degree rape.
So what does that actually mean? And what does it mean for the #metoo movement? What about the incredible women who went before the court to expose the most awful moments of their lives only for him to not be found guilty of the charges that would have sent him to jail for life?

This week, Greens Leader Richard Di Natale announced he's leaving parliament to spend time with his growing family.
It's not the first time we've heard this as the reason a politician is getting out of the game.
So, what's it actually like? How many hours a day do politicians work? And how often are you away from your family?
The Quicky gets the low down from Zali Steggall, the politician who unseated Tony Abbott in the last election, and Rebekha Sharkie, a South Australian MP who's been making the trek to Parliament House from South Australia for the last three and a half years.

If you've been anywhere near social media this week your feed has probably been flooded with cute pics of kids in uniforms heading off for their first day of school.
Education is essential for a child's success but when it comes to world education rankings, Finland has been No 1 year after year while Australia doesn't even make it into the top 20.
So what is Finland doing right and how could we bring more of that into our education system here?

Pictures and stories have been emerging from China suggesting the Chinese Government hasn't told the full story about the Coronavirus.
The World Health Organisation has declared a World Health Emergency and conspiracy theories are spreading as fast as the virus itself.
So, how do we tell the difference between a falsehood designed to cause panic and information deliberately kept from the public?

The world was shocked earlier this week when basketball legend Kobe Bryant and his teenage daughter, Gianna, were among nine dead in a freak helicopter crash.
Bryant has been remembered all week as an extraordinary sportsperson, a devoted husband, loving father and an Oscar winning filmmaker. He was a much loved part of the Hollywood community.
Yet, in 2003, he was charged with the sexual assault and false imprisonment of a young hospitality worker at a hotel in Colorado. The records of the rape case tell a chilling story, of a complicated man.
Warning: this podcast contains discussion of sexual assault. If it raises any issues for you, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14

When we watched Aussie comedian Celeste Barber's online bushfire fundraiser hit $50 million, we all cheered... and then the questions about where the money was going began.
We look at the breakdown of online fundraising, how the dollars go from the internet through the back end to the people who need it most and how this money might be expanding out from just benefiting the NSW RFS.

We update you on the UK's quest to divorce themselves from the European Union and assess the outcome of the pre Christmas snap election.

The silly season is here and a lot of us will head to end of year celebrations where we will be socialising with family and colleagues.. all while lubricated with a drink or 10.
But with the latest guidelines revising down how much we should be drinking, can we actually do this thing sober?

When the pill was introduced in Australia in the 1960's it was a game changer for women, but it hasn't changed much since despite growing concerns about the side effects.
So is no-one doing the research? Is there no demand for anything different? Or is there a political reason behind the lack of contraceptive pill innovation?

We’re currently in the midst of what’s being called the most dangerous bushfire week in Australian history.
Fires are burning right up the Eastern seaboard...but firefighters are particularly concerned for the Greater Sydney, Greater Hunter and Illawarra Shoalhaven areas, where a catastrophic fire danger rating is in place.
In today's episode of The Quicky, we'll take at look at how fire affected communities rebuild after events like these by speaking with two incredible women that lost their homes in the 2009 Black Saturday Fires.

There's a lot of talk that this election was handed to the Liberal National Coalition by 'Quiet Australians'.
People who voted conservative but didn't talk about it because they didn't want to be shouted down by vocal left leaning friends who urged them to put others and the environment before themselves... but they argue, if I can't look after myself, how can I look after others?
Today we speak to some of these 'Quiet Australians' to find out what motivated them and how they reconcile the issues, especially involving women, with the Liberal National Coalition.

Did you know that women wearing a seat belt who are involved in a car accident, are 47% more likely to be seriously injured than a man involved in the same collision? That's due to the fact that seatbelts are designed to fit the average body shape of men, not women.
In today's episode we'll be speaking with engineer Kat Ely to hear about some of these potentially deadly design flaws that are making life far more dangerous for women. And how the lack of female voices within 'design rooms' are effecting design solutions. And we'll be speaking with a woman who had a very close call in a car accident.

Yesterday we saw the career of an Australian politician implode after footage of him groping strippers and making sexist and racist remarks was shown on national television.
The video footage of what Steve Dickson did is deeply offensive to women, racist and far from the family values he claims to stand by.
But this footage didn't come out of nowhere. Did you know there are people who are specifically hired to scour for the dirt that might just lose a politician an election campaign?
Today we speak to a competitive intelligence research consultant whose job it is to find the dirt... because in the game of politics, you win or you die.

Reality TV shows like Bachelor in Paradise and Married at First Sight have recently been accused of highlighting a behaviour that is stone cold psychological manipulation, even a type of emotional abuse.
You've probably heard the term gaslighting used to describe a particularly toxic type of behaviour. It's a way of making someone question their own memory, perception, even their sanity.
Today we dig into the psychology behind it, why people do it and is there a way to fight back against being a victim of a gaslighter?

Who is paying for terrorists to do what they do?
This week we saw more than 200 people killed in Sri Lanka after suicide bombers hit churches, hotels and guest houses on Easter Sunday. We've heard several groups are connected to the attack with Islamic State taking formal credit for it.
But who are these organisations and who is paying for these well planned and well resourced operations?
Today we find out from Forbes reporter Itai Zehorai exactly where terrorists get their cash and what they spend it on.

How do sex scenes work?
Intimacy coordinator Ita O'Brien says before she came along a director would often send the actors off on their own to figure out their own boundaries.
Now, Ita has created a set of guidelines that she says makes the sex scenes filmed today, even steamier and more realistic.
Today, we learn how to choreograph a sex scene so that every angle, every touch and every emotion is as beautifully rehearsed as any battle.

In late 2016 Fernando Manrique hooked two gas cylinders up to his Sydney home. Those cylinders contained deadly carbon monoxide, an odourless colourless gas which would, later that night, filter through the bedrooms of his wife and two children.
The story that first hit the headlines wasn't the same as the one we're hearing at the inquest now. Those headlines pointed to stressed parents and the burden of raising children with a disability.
Reporter Ava Benny-Morrison will talk us through what really happened on the night Maria Lutz and her children were murdered and we speak to a woman who shares with us the impact of feeling sympathy for parents who kill their disabled children.

Last week, the co-founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange was arrested by British Police after spending nearly 7 years holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
The 47 year old is now in custody waiting to see if the situation he predicted would happen, the conspiracy that sexual assault allegations were all a ruse to get him to the US to face charges he helped leak confidential military documents... would come true.
Today we speak to two journalists, one of who has sat down face to face with Assange in that embassy, to find out what got him kicked out of his safe haven to finally face the music.

When Melbourne woman Lydia Abdelmalek turned up to face court in 2019, no one would have pegged her as a mastermind of online deception.

Teenager Hoda Sharrouf and her sisters want to come home to Australia, the problem is, they're the daughters of Aussie ISIS fighter Khaled Sharrouf and his wife Tara Nettleton.
With both of their parents now dead and the daughters trying to survive in a squalid and dangerous refugee camp, the politics of their situation is now in the headlines. Do we bring the children who had no say in joining the caliphate home or have they already been too far indoctrinated to rejoin a peaceful Australian society.
Sydney morning Herald Journalist David Wroe has been to the camp and has seen with his own eyes the conditions that the Sharrouf girls are now being forced to live in, he gives us his take on whether Hoda and her sisters should be welcomed back.

You may have heard some buzz words doing the rounds lately describing how we parent kids these days. Some call it snow plough parenting, others call it concierge parenting, you may have heard it used in relation to the super rich parents who bought their kids way into college in the US.
But how did it get to this? What happened to our parents world that led to this generation of soft teens and anxious toddlers and is there anything we can do about it?

Anti Vaxxers aren't new, in fact, as long as vaccinations have existed so have those opposed to them.
But in 2019, instead of the argument existing between doctors and scientists and a group of concerned citizens, the anti vax movement has seen a dangerous new player enter the game... the social media influencer.

On Friday March 15, an Australian man entered two mosques in New Zealand and opened fire.
Today we're not focused on a right wing extremist, today we're telling stories of bravery, of hope and of how we as a community can get past this idea of 'us and them'.
NZ Herald reporter Will Trafford was at the Linwood mosque after Friday's terrible events... and what he found, was that people are incredible.
We will also speak with Joseph Trainor, who is the associate professor in the School of Public Policy and Administration at the University of Delaware and a Core Faculty Member of the Disaster Research Center. Joseph sheds some light on human behaviour in the event of tragedies such as these.

Cardinal George Pell was convicted last year of sexually abusing two choirboys in 1996. The jury found Pell guilty of sexual penetration of a child under 16, as well as four counts of committing an indecent act with, or in the presence, of a child.
Despite a unanimous jury handing down a guilty verdict, the court issued a suppression order denying media outlets the ability to report on the verdict because of the impact it would have on a second trial. That trial is no longer going ahead which means we can now reveal what Pell was found guilty of.
In this episode of the Quicky, we talk to Lucie Morris-Marr, the journalist who broke the story in 2016 and has been following the case for The New Daily ever since.
So, what exactly has George Pell been accused of and what happens now?

You might have been hearing a lot about ISIS brides lately, more specifically, those who realised they made a bad choice and now want to come home.
The problem is, some of those women have had their citizenship revoked rendering them stateless and either in a prison or living in refugee camps with their young children.
But why did these woman join ISIS in the first place? And do we even have the laws necessary to see them face justice if and when they do return home?
Extremism and Counter Terrorism experts Helen Powell from George Washington University and Jacinta Carol from ANU step us through how these young women ended up making such a life altering and now permanent decision.

If you follow Aussie radio host Fifi Box on Instagram you’re probably already across the fact she’s expecting her second baby.
But did you know she’s doing it with the help of an anonymous sperm donor?
In today’s show we speak with Hayley Hendrix, the author of Desperately Seeking Semen. She found herself single in her late 30’s and that pesky biological clock was getting louder and bloody louder!
She went down two very different paths to find the sperm that would give her the opportunity to be something she’d been dreaming about… a Mum!

Blake Garvey, Michael Cox, Paulini, Davina Rankin - do those names mean anything to you? What if we said ‘Most hated Bachelor or all time’, the ‘Turkey slap incident’, ‘Fat Shamed by Dicko’ or MAFS cheating txt scandal’.
These are the real people behind the reality TV shows, the people who have to return home to a forever altered real life.
Clare Verrall was chosen for season 2 of Married at First Sight. She was teamed up with Jono, the guy who famously said ‘she’s not what I ordered’ as she walked down the aisle. How long does it take for someone to get their life back on track after a stint on Australia’s small screen? Clare helps us understand just how difficult that can be.

In this episode of The Quicky, we unravel the story of missing Dubai Princess, Latifa bint Mohammed al-Maktoum.
In March 2018 Princess Latifa, the 33 year old daughter of Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed, attempted to escape her oppressive life after years of torture, imprisonment, and lack of basic human rights.
Unfortunately Latifah’s escape didn’t go to plan and she was recaptured on a yacht off the coast of India.
She hasn’t been seen publicly since.
We speak with the CEO of Detained In Dubai, Radha Stirling, who helped Latifa with her escape attempt and is continuing to raise awareness about the case.
As you will hear, Latifa’s life is far from a fairytale and life behind the palace walls is anything but safe.
