The Quicky

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. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

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

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. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
