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. Want to try our new exercise app?

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. Want to try our new exercise app?

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. Want to try our new exercise app?

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.

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. Want to try our new exercise app?

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. Want to try our new exercise app?

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.

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 evening news update for Friday February 3rd 2024. 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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 The Quicky is the easiest and most enjoyable way to get across the news every day.

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.
