The Quicky

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.

The Quicky will be back with new episodes from January 15, but until then here’s one of our favourite episodes of this year. Thank you so much for being a part of The Quicky in 2023. 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. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

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. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

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.

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.

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.

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. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

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.

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. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

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.

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. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

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. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!
