You may have heard some news reports about a new infestation of varroa mites that are infecting millions of bees in NSW, threatening the whole of Australia's honey industry as beekeepers are being forced to destroy tens of thousands of hives. But what exactly are these tiny insects, why is this happening now, and what is the risk to all of Australia's agricultural sector if there are not enough bees left to pollinate our crops? The Quicky speaks to a beekeeper and an expert in food resources to find out if this could destroy Australia's honey industry, or if there is a way to turn this situation to our advantage.

It's NAIDOC Week 2022 and this year's theme is: Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! So how can non-indigenous Australians recognise their white privilege and help make systemic change to keep rallying around First Nations Australians? The Labor Government has committed to the Uluru Statement From The Heart, and the New South Wales Government has promised to erect a permanent Aboriginal flag on the Sydney Harbour Bridge by the end of the year, so what's next? The Quicky speaks to two well-known First Nations women to find out how white privilege continues to hurt Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, and what we can all do to help progress the cause of reconciliation in this country.

Australia's airline industry is now seeing demand that is back to pre-pandemic levels, with millions of us jetting off overseas or to another state for a much needed getaway, but the dream can quickly become a nightmare once you arrive at the airport.

Following the recent decision by the US Supreme Court to repeal women's constitutional right to have an abortion, it seems the six conservative judges on the bench now have a number of other social and political issues in their sights. Advocates for LGBTIQA+, free press, firearms restrictions and much more are bracing for attacks on their rights, as those six extremely powerful individuals seem determined to drag America back into the dark ages. The Quicky speaks to a human rights law expert and a journalist who has spent decades researching and reporting on the United States, to find out what other aspects of American rights and freedoms are now seriously at risk.

It's that time of year again when we have to dig out all of our old receipts and start crunching the numbers as we prepare our tax return, or if we're lucky, pass all that info on to our accountant to do it for us. But the past 12 months have been like no other, as many of us grappled with disaster relief payments, Job Keeper, Job Seeker, and all manner of unusual purchases like RATs, face masks, etc. So what exactly can and can't you claim as a legitimate deduction?

More and more sporting codes are introducing new bans on trans women who want to participate in those sports at an elite level, but why has this suddenly become an issue, and how many people are really going to be impacted? Some have argued it is necessary to maintain fairness in women's sport, but for others, this is just another excuse to target and marginalise an already vulnerable and often ostracised community. The Quicky speaks to a professional trans woman athlete to find out what impact these bans are really having on the LGBTQIA+ community, and whether there might be a fairer solution for all involved.

Over the weekend millions of women's worst fears were realised, when the US Supreme Court overturned the court case known as Roe V. Wade, which had since 1973 granted women in America a legal right to abortion. As soon as the majority of Supreme Court judges made their decision, a number of states immediately started making abortion illegal in all cases, even if the mother has been raped or the child was conceived through incest. So what happens now? The Quicky speaks to an expert in reproductive rights to find out how so many states have already managed to introduce laws making abortion illegal, and what could happen next in a country that appears from the outside to be imploding.

The NSW Government recently announced a serious shake up to Stamp Duty, promising that from 2023, First Home Buyers will be able to choose between paying this up front, or paying an annual fee plus a percentage of the land value, known as land tax. But why does the government even need this money? And will the change really help those people trying to get a foot on the ladder, or should our politicians be doing more? The Quicky speaks to a would-be First Home Buyer, and a property market expert to find out what it will take to really solve the housing affordability crisis in Australia.

The average Australian wedding now costs a whopping $36,000, and while for many people that amount of money is simply unobtainable, it seems more and more couples are finding new ways of raising extra cash to have the the big day of their dreams. One of those methods is an increasing trend for brides and grooms to ask friends and family to chip in for the event, to cover everything from the meal, to extravagant extras like fireworks and luxury honeymoons, but is that ok? The Quicky speaks to a wedding expert, and a couple of married women to find out whether this is fair game, or if it's a very rude way of getting other people to fund a ridiculously over the top wedding that you really can't afford.

When the Nadesalingam family recently returned to their adopted Queensland home of Biloela, there was great relief as it brought to an end a years-long nightmare for Priya, Nades and their two young daughters. But what does their happy ending mean for the thousands of people currently in detention in Australia, or who may end up there with reports suggesting that thousands more Sri Lankans are desperate to flee their homeland for a safer life? The Quicky speaks to a human rights expert to find out where Australia stands on our border policy and 'turning back the boats' under the new Labor Government, and what that means for millions of Sri Lankans who are living in turmoil.

There have been a lot of popular Aussie dads on TV over the years, all of them very similar - white, grumpy and not really that involved with their kids, but now we have some more modern role models like Bandit from Bluey, and Hamish Blake. So why have they come under fire recently for perhaps not being quite as good as we like to think? And why do Aussie dads in popular culture still fit the traditional "Larrikin" stereotype? The Quicky speaks to an expert in creative arts who isn't convinced about these so-called "perfect" TV dads, to consider whether our expectations of men continue to be so much lower than that of women, that it actually makes us think they are a lot better than they really are.

In some parts of Australia temperatures have reached 100 year lows, with much of the country feeling a lot colder than usual which is having serious impacts on our power grid and food prices. But why is this winter off to such a chilly start, especially when we keep hearing that global warming is a serious problem? And how is this causing sky high food prices and a shortage of lettuce on supermarket shelves? The Quicky speaks to a weather expert, a guru in our fruit and vegetable industry, and a lettuce farmer to find out what the heck is going on, and when and if things will get back to normal.

Earlier this week, actor Rebel Wilson found herself being forced into making a choice: come out to the world and publicly state that she is in a relationship with fashion designer Ramona Agruma, or face being "outed" by a gossip columnist. Rebel's choice to announce her relationship on her own terms was widely applauded, as many felt it was unfair that she'd been forced to disclose who she was dating to begin with, and wondered why is a woman dating another woman considered headline news in 2022? The Quicky speaks to a queer studies academic, an advocate for the LGBTIQA+ community, and a celebrity who faced her own public coming out, to find out what impact the threat of being publicly "outed" has on a person, whether they are famous or not.

Recently three seemingly very different topics collided on the internet to create the perfect storm - Mormons, TikTok and swinging - when a 28-year-old married mother went into great detail about her and her friends sexual activities. But what's it really like to be a swinger, and how can you be a true Mormon and have sex with people other than your spouse? The Quicky speaks to three women who range from dabblers to full on enthusiasts to lift the lid on this often hidden part of society to find out what it's really like to be a swinger.

You might have heard a lot of news recently about Aussie billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes and his attempts to buy energy company AGL so that he can influence their future plans for renewable energy. But who exactly is this guy, and why is a software developer so interested in climate change? Can he and his billionaire friends like Elon Musk actually do anything to save the fate of our planet? The Quicky speaks to an expert in the world of high rolling businesspeople to find out whether Mike Cannon-Brookes is Australia's answer to Bruce Wayne, and what he can realistically do to change our climate policies for the better. *Please note the listener emails in this episode have been voiced by the Mamamia Pod Team.

New research has found that more than half of all Aussie teachers are planning to quit their jobs, as low wages, excessive amounts of admin and poor working conditions continue to take their toll. But is it really all that bad, and if so, why isn't more being done to help them stay in the job they love, and that is so important within our community? The Quicky speaks to two teachers, one who has resigned and one who is thinking about quitting, to find out how the situation has become so bad, and what can change to ensure that people who dedicate themselves to educating children stick with their career.

The Spanish Government recently announced that it is considering creating new laws that would give employees the right to take between 3 and 5 days off every month if they suffer from severe period pain. Several other countries around the world already have period leave, so should our Government consider implementing the same laws for people here? The Quicky speaks to an expert in women's health, and a specialist doctor to find out whether period leave is necessary for female workers, and if and how it could work here in Australia without bankrupting businesses.

Last month, one of the music industry's biggest artists, Halsey posted a video on her social media that was viewed by 8 million people in just 24 hours, but not for the reasons her record label was hoping. After she spoke out about not being allowed to release her new song unless they could 'fake' a viral moment on TikTok, numerous other artists came forward to say they too were being pressured to create content instead of focusing on their music. The Quicky speaks to two entertainment and music experts to find out whether the music industry has now become so commercialised that it's actually no longer about the songs, and all about the likes and social media following, and what musicians can do to push back.

Squabbling with your siblings is pretty common when you're kids, but what happens if that escalates into a full-blown rivalry, or something even worse when you become adults? Is it inevitable that you will always feel in some kind of competition with your brothers and sisters, or can some siblings have fantastic relationships throughout their lives? Is it a case of nurture rather than nature, meaning that parents can take steps to ensure you get along? The Quicky speaks to an expert in family relationships to find out what the psychology behind sibling rivalry is, and what both parents and kids can do to stop it before it escalates.

But wile the case may now be over, for many other survivors of domestic violence the fallout from the jury's verdict is only just beginning, as millions of women will now find it harder than ever to speak out against their abuser. The Quicky speaks to two domestic violence experts, and a survivor about why the true cost of this case is going to be about a lot more than $15 million dollars.
