The Quicky

In October 2016, four people died while they were meant to be having fun. Cindy Low, Kate Goodchild, Luke Dorsett and Roozi Araghi were on the Thunder River Rapids Ride at Dreamworld when it malfunctioned and they were killed.  This week, the coroner handed down his findings at the inquest into their deaths. Could their deaths have been avoided? What was found? Will theme parks be safer for everyone now?  Subscribe to The Quicky at... https://mamamia.com.au/the-quicky/ CREDITS  Host/Producer: Claire Murphy  Executive Producer: Melanie Tait Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri  Guests:  Tessa Hardy, Nine News Journalist, Brisbane.  CONTACT US Got a topic you'd like us to cover?

Warning: This episode of The Quicky contains the discussion of sexual assault and rape. If this brings up anything for you please call 1800 RESPECT It's a major moment for the #MeToo movement. Harvey Weinstein is in jail.  The disgraced movie producer has been found guilty of sexual assault and third-degree rape, but acquitted on two counts of predatory sexual assault and another count of first-degree rape. So what does that actually mean?  And what does it mean for the #metoo movement? What about the incredible women who went before the court to expose the most awful moments of their lives only for him to not be found guilty of the charges that would have sent him to jail for life?  Subscribe to The Quicky at... https://mamamia.com.au/the-quicky/ CREDITS  Host/Producer: Claire Murphy  Executive Producer: Melanie Tait Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri  Guest: Van Badham, Columnist Guardian Australia  CONTACT US Got a topic you'd like us to cover?

The world was shocked earlier this week when basketball legend Kobe Bryant and his teenage daughter, Gianna, were among nine dead in a freak helicopter crash.  Bryant has been remembered all week as an extraordinary sportsperson, a devoted husband, loving father and an Oscar winning filmmaker.
