Who The Heck Has $40k In The Bank?

Recently, there were headlines telling us that on average, Aussies had around $40,000 in savings in the bank. The response around the office water cooler was a shocked one - who the hell has 40k in the bank? Those who do, stayed suspiciously quiet. In today's episode, The Quicky team finds out just how true that headline is, and if you are one of those with 40k stashed away in your coffers, what you should be doing with all that cash.

Titles, Tiffs & Tears: The Royal Family After Elizabeth

Since late last week when Queen Elizabeth II passed away, we have been inundated with wall to wall royal coverage, their every movement tracked to see just how they are handling the loss of the woman who has reigned over the UK and the Commonwealth for 70 years. From public walkabouts to official ceremonies and plans in place for the send off, there is much to be witnessed as this ancient and some would say, outdated institution farewells a woman who is incredibly respected by some and very much hated by others. Today The Quicky team looks at how the royals themselves are handling this moment in time as the Commonwealth takes a hard look at what this means for all of us moving forward.

10 Years Of Tinder: How The App Has Changed The Dating Game

Today officially marks 10 years of Tinder.

Who Is Liz Truss? A Look At The New British PM

Earlier this week, the UK finally announced their new Prime Minister. Weeks after Boris Johnson announced he would step down on the back of months of pressure following scandal after scandal, the Conservatives whittled down their pack of hopefuls to two, with Foreign Secretary Liz Truss winning out over Former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak. But who is Liz Truss, and why are there so many negative reports about the woman who calls Boris Johnson her friend? Today The Quicky Team finds out exactly who the new British PM is, and how she'll handle taking on the top job. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

Can The Cosmetic Surgery Shake Up End Botched Jobs?

In October last year, a joint investigation by the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and the ABC's Four Corners program uncovered serious hygiene and safety breaches at the premises of controversial medical practitioners who some refer to as cosmetic cowboys. Now a review into the sector has been completed and recommendations have been put forward and accepted, including a dedicated enforcement arm charged with overseeing the industry to ensure the practices exposed by the media reports don't happen again... but is it enough? Today The Quicky team investigates how bad the fall out from an unregulated medical profession can be and whether more needs to be done to make sure those who don't need any formal qualification in cosmetic surgery to perform the procedures, don't ride into cowboy territory again.

Are We Ready To Scrap Covid Isolation?

Thinking Of A Career Change? These Jobs Need You Now

Recently, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese outlined the top ten professions with the more dire worker shortages. Calling them the 'jobs of the future' - areas we are struggling to find people to fill roles. Right now, in Australia, there are more job vacancies than there are people looking for work. This has left many industries struggling to find enough staff for their businesses to function. In todays episode of The Quicky, we take a look at some of those in demand professions, and speak to women who have already secured them about what the job actually entails.

From Stone To Silicone: The Evolution Of Sex Toys

It's 2022 so chances are you own, or have used at least one sex toy in your life, or perhaps you have an entire 'goody drawer' in your bedside, because now there is no stigma and we can all freely buy a wide array of sex toys any time of the day or night. But how did we get here? Because until recently sex toys were often considered shameful and something that needed to be hidden behind blacked out windows in shops labelled 'XXX'. The Quicky speaks to our resident 'sexpert' to discover the history and evolution of sex toys, which goes back thousands of years and covers pretty much every culture in the world - even if only behind closed doors. There's a vast array of sex toys on offer for you to explore, and if you want to know which ones women are loving the most right now, check out this article to find out more.

Andrew Tate & The Dangerous 'Real Man' Myth

Conversations about the dangers of toxic masculinity are not new, but recently a number of posts and videos have been circulating on social media of controversial influencer Andrew Tate, which have reignited the discussion in 2022.

The Quicky speaks to an expert in gender and violence, and a relationships guru to find out why people are still interested in these outdated ideas, and just how dangerous this ideology is to young men and women.
