Women Shouldn't Need To Learn Self Defence, But Should We?

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.

The Rise And Fall (And Rise Again) Of The Sussexes

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.

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.
