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.

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

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. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

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

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. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

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. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

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.

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

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