Last week, the findings and recommendations from an inquiry into the culture of the Queensland police force were handed down. Is this type of cultural toxicity more rampant in the Queensland police, or is this something the force is struggling with all across Australia? And why do those personality types find their way into a job that clearly requires them to have a handle on these things? Today we look at why putting on a uniform for some means responsibility, while for others, it’s all about the power. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

Recently, a headline started to do the rounds proclaiming that "heroin chic" was back. For those who weren’t around in the mid 90s, the term may not be a familiar one, but for those who were influenced by its muses and promoters, it came with a healthy dose of body image issues. Today we look at why this body shape ideal - dressed up as a fashion trend - is back in the news and whether the women of 2022 are in a better position to fight off the problematic discussion that comes with it.

It may sound like Déjà vu, but Covid’s back for a fourth wave. And as much as we’d all love to stick our fingers in our ears and close our eyes, the reality is, cases across Australia are on the rise. While figures are still 85% below the previous peak of late July, average daily cases last week were 47% higher than the week before. The spike has led to Queensland raising its alert level from amber to green, and the push to get up to date with vaccines is starting to increase. So what do know about these new variants, and how concerned should we be? Today we answer all of your questions about the current Covid wave, and what it could mean for the next few weeks as we countdown to Christmas. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Prior to 2020, Pete Evans was a judge on the popular Aussie TV reality cooking show, My Kitchen Rules. He was just another celebrity chef, not that different to the rest of the foodie loving kitchen tyrants, or so we thought. By the end of 2020, Evans was banned from social media platforms, dropped by management and sponsors and was even fined tens of thousands of dollars. Today, we find out what happens to someone like Pete Evans, banned from the mainstream, and left to the echo chambers of the far right conspiracy theorists. Has the banishment led to any meaningful change or did it actually make matters worse? GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

South Australia has recently come on board with enacting laws outlawing a sly and dangerous form of sexual assault that blurs the lines of consent. Stealthing, or the nonconsensual removal of a condom during intercourse is now outlawed across several Australian states and territories but when we shared the latest news on this on social media, the comments section voiced a fear that many shared… how do you prove it? Today we look at when stealthing laws have actually found someone guilty and how we expect them to be handled in courts across the country. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Listen to Claire's full interview with Esther Perel here. Divorce rates reportedly spiked in the wake of the global pandemic, many relationships struggling the extended time locked up together without the ability to take some time away from one another. So now that, hopefully, the worst of Covid is behind us, do we need to consider taking a break from our relationships to regroup and start over? Today, we speak to world renowned relationship expert Esther Perel to look at whether taking a break from a partner for a good amount of time can actually be the start of the next chapter or whether the need for space heralds the beginning of the end.

Aussies have re-embraced travel with gusto since international borders reopened at the end of last year and Covid rules have been slowly eased over time. We are flying, cruising, touring, relaxing, adventuring and doing all the things we put off for those two locked down years.

It’s a right of passage for every young girl. The moment you get those first drops of blood and hopefully someone in your circle, or reading the right things on the internet, tells you about all the things you can use to keep your period leaking and ruining your outfit. It can be a time of pride, of shame, of worry and a sense of achievement. Now, the age at which puberty is hitting girls across the globe seems to be getting earlier and earlier... but why? Today, we look at the factors being investigated as the reason for early puberty and how it will impact those who do reach that milestone much younger than most.

Season 5 of The Crown debuts on Netflix today with those who have been faithfully following the progress of the Windsors through it’s lens, happy to watch on as some of the royal’s most spectacularly scandalous years are finally recreated on their small screen. But is the show rewriting history with its fact or fiction plotlines? And what ethical dilemma does one prince have, when he too will be profiting from the very same platform that is screening the tell-all of his family’s past? Today, we look at the ethics of The Crown and whether it needs to be clearer, that the events we see in those weekly episodes, are skirting dangerously close to truths without having all the facts.

Elon Musk is now the proud owner of Twitter. Known as the social media platform for journalists, politicians and heads of business, it can also be the place where radical conspiracy theories and ideologies are shared. Musk, who is one of the world’s richest people, who has a long track record of dubious posts on the platform himself, says he wants it to be “a digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.” That free speech is “the bedrock of a functioning democracy.” Today, we look at what it means to leave the future of free speech in the hands of a man whose track record of shutting it down for his own benefit is a long and complicated one.

Australia is a rich country with access to healthcare and nutritious foods in a climate envied by others. But recent data shows 50% of Australians are living with a long term illness. This is the focus of a new TV show on the ABC. Magda Szubanski is an Australian icon, a comedian whose characters are beloved by millions and whose place in Australian pop culture is legendary … but there may be some scratching their heads about why she of all people would be the face of a TV show about the health of Australians, because she isn’t - in the eyes of many - someone who could possibly be healthy. Today, we look at the science of fat, whether weight really is the biggest health issue Australians are facing or whether it’s become more of an obstacle to treatment for those issues, and whether we can actually be big and healthy.

Cassius Turvey was just 15-years-old when he was allegedly beaten with a metal pole as he walked home from school last month. As he lay dying in hospital, police would say things that would be interpreted as being offhand, refusing to confirm whether racism was a factor in the crime. Newspapers would barely delve into the incident, while the family of a young boy whose life was slowly leaving his young body, were pleading for hime to be considered a human who deserved humanity’s sympathy. Today, after a week of action around the death of Cassius Turvey, we look at how Australia still struggles to tell the stories of First Nation's People. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Have you ever been in a physical relationship with someone, maybe one that started out all hot and heavy, only to find out a little further down the track that your libidos aren’t on the same page? With one partner becoming the pursuer and seeming to constantly want sex ending up frustrated at the lack of physical intimacy, the other, withdraws and starts to resent the pursuer for not understanding that they simply aren’t in the mood. It can be a deal breaker for some but can you actually overcome it? Today, we look at why some of us have a high sex drive while others are a slower burn and whether we can actually find a way to meet somewhere in the middle.

Kanye West has said some pretty awful things about the Jewish community of late. He has accused them of controlling business, of controlling people in his industry including himself, he has threatened them, and said he will no longer stand for their influence… and it has set off groups of like-minded individuals who have taken their suspicions of Jewish people to the streets. But where does this hatred for Jewish people come from and why haven't the lessons of the past shown people just how deadly and dangerous this type of rhetoric can be? Today, we try to understand anti-semitism and why Kanye is wading into a long and brutal history with a tweet. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

Last week there was a lot of conversations around the Diamonds, the Aussie netball team, who pushed back on a sponsorship deal that would see them wear the logo of a company that had a complicated and racist history with Indigenous Australians. While the outcome saw the diamonds lose $15 million and possibly more, questions were raised about the intersection of sport and politics, about whether athletes should keep quiet and take the money for the sake of the game rather than have an opinion about the deal. Today we look at how clubs select who backs them financially and whether that money should come with a guarantee to not bite the hand that feeds them. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Teacher's have had a rough couple of years. From the pandemic shut downs to the post pandemic short staffing and the industrial action that saw thousands take to the streets, there seems to be an endless supply of negative news from the classroom. But among all that noise there are still incredible people who dedicate their lives to teaching the young minds of Australia all the things they need to arm themselves for leaving school and beyond. For this year's national teachers day celebrations we speak to Australia's teachers of the year and get some insight on what it really takes to cut it in the classroom. Subscribe to Mamamia From the pandemic shutdowns to the post-pandemic staffing issues, and industrial action on our streets - teachers have had a rough couple of years.

After National Teachers Day last week, we're reflecting on what it takes to cut it in the classroom, and speaking to Australia's best and brightest. GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

With missing disgraced financier Melissa Caddick's multi-million dollar mansion up for sale, there are those who would wish to buy it as a bonafide investment but there are others who would want it for the honour of owning a property where the 49 year old was last seen alive. There are hundreds of former crime scenes across Australia that are now owned by those not associated with the incident, so what is is like to live in a property with that kind of past? Today we speak to the real estate agent who sold the Snowtown bank vault and find out what it takes to own some of the country's darkest history. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Rain, rain go away, come again another day. It's the creepy children's rhyme that has crossed the minds of many an Australian in recent times as La Ninà continues to dominate weather patterns across the country. With floods over and over in some parts and impacting areas where water has been scarce for many years, the endless wet has put a damper on events, lives and businesses across Australia. But word on the street is that La Ninà is almost over for this season, so how do we know that's true and what does that mean for what comes after? Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Boris Johnson was kicked out of the UK leadership less than 2 months ago on the back of along list of scandals including hosting and attending parties at 10 Downing Street during the covid lockdowns. But with his replacement Liz Truss being pushed out after less than 6 weeks, Boris Johnson looked set for a comeback before pulling the pin at the last minute. Rishi Sunak has now been declared the new British Prime Minister but could Boris just be waiting in the wings for him to fail too? Today we find out who Rishi Sunak is and why he could be Boris's ticket back to the leadership. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!
