The scams are ramping up as we head into the busy Christmas New Year period with parcel phishing, dodgy toll payment portals and compromised business emails making it very difficult to know what is a real link, what is a real communication and what isn’t a scam trying to fleece us for our money. Today, we take a look at some of the biggest scams doing the rounds right now and how - especially in the midst of some of the country’s worst data breaches - you can avoid falling victim to yet another attempt at tricking you online.

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. But there are also new holiday trends beginning to emerge and ones that were stifled during the pandemic coming back with a vengeance in 2022. Today we look at some new travel trends and some more unusual ways to spend your time on holiday. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

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. Among an endless stream of negative news, there remain masses of incredible people dedicating their lives to classrooms and shaping the minds of young Australians - our future leaders. 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?

Getting a tic (a brief motor movement or vocalisation) is actually super common but the use of a certain social media platform is starting to create them faster and in larger numbers in groups not usually affected. Today we look at the impact of a platform like TikTok on vulnerable minds and how a certain genre within the platform's users leads to those who already suffer from tics to be triggered.

Parents across Australia were terrified after watching the Todd Sampson documentary Mirror Mirror where he looked a website called Omegle, a place where sexual predators are easily linked to young children. But while many are even more scared of allowing children to play online, the show left us with little resources as to how to deal with it and how you keep on top of all the ways in which predators can find their young victims online. Today we look at how you actually help young Aussies handle the dangers of sites like Omegle while at the same time knowing their curiosity will more than likely lead them straight there.

We’re now 8 months into a war in Ukraine that Vladimir Putin had reportedly expected to take just a few days, when his troops invaded back in February. Now, a bridge - a source of pride for the Russian president - has been hit. In retaliation, missiles rained down on civilians and infrastructure as the war spirals more and more out of control. Today, we get the low down on Russia’s tactics as they continue to fight what seems to be a losing battle and where we can possibly go from here. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

While the cost of living is going up and things like interest rates are heading in the same direction, for a very long time, our wages haven't been climbing at the same rate, leaving us falling a tad short in the hip pocket. But recent stats show that wages are now on the way up, with many industries finding it increasingly difficult to secure workers. So what if you're an existing employee who hasn't been able to get yourself some of that sweet new money? Today, we look at how you can jump on the wage growth gravy train and the best way to ask for that sometimes very overdue pay rise. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

In the past 10 years or so, young women have been told that in order to protect their fertility in the future, they should have their eggs frozen when they're in their twenties. This directive has made some women feel anxious about whether they should make the move at such a young age - what if they do end up needing them? Or what if they don't end up needing them and went through an expensive and not so easy process of harvesting eggs when they didn't have to? Today we look at whether egg freezing is the necessary tool in the arsenal against infertility or if we're being sold a way to make an industry a lot of money.
