The Quicky

It seems almost unthinkable that a young person in Australia today can still be told that being gay is disgusting or perverted, that being attracted to someone of the same sex means there's something wrong with you or that you're possessed by some unholy demon. That's what happened to Chris Csabs. He, along with Dr Timothy Jones, the author of the report into gay conversion therapy in Australia, explain the damage the religious practise can have on young minds.

Does the Australian Liberal Party have a women problem?   We keep hearing how there's not enough of them, they they're far outnumbered by their male counterparts but why? And why do so many talented Liberal women seem to be leaving the party right now?

This episode of The Quicky contains graphic details of child sexual abuse.  If this brings up any issues for you, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14. Cardinal George Pell was convicted last year of sexually abusing two choirboys in 1996.  The jury found Pell guilty of sexual penetration of a child under 16, as well as four counts of committing an indecent act with, or in the presence, of a child. Despite a unanimous jury handing down a guilty verdict, the court issued a suppression order denying media outlets the ability to report on the verdict because of the impact it would have on a second trial.  That trial is no longer going ahead which means we can now reveal what Pell was found guilty of. In this episode of the Quicky, we talk to Lucie Morris-Marr, the journalist who broke the story in 2016 and has been following the case for The New Daily ever since. So, what exactly has George Pell been accused of and what happens now?

You might have been hearing a lot about ISIS brides lately, more specifically, those who realised they made a bad choice and now want to come home. The problem is, some of those women have had their citizenship revoked rendering them stateless and either in a prison or living in refugee camps with their young children. But why did these woman join ISIS in the first place? And do we even have the laws necessary to see them face justice if and when they do return home? Extremism and Counter Terrorism experts Helen Powell from George Washington University and Jacinta Carol from ANU step us through how these young women ended up making such a life altering and now permanent decision.

Blake Garvey, Michael Cox, Paulini, Davina Rankin - do those names mean anything to you?

Of the 3.2 million Australians currently living below the poverty line, 52% of those are women and young girls. Some of those young girls are experiencing what is now referred to as ‘period poverty’.

In this episode of The Quicky, we unravel the story of missing Dubai Princess, Latifa bint Mohammed al-Maktoum. In March 2018 Princess Latifa, the 33 year old daughter of Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed, attempted to escape her oppressive life after years of torture, imprisonment, and lack of basic human rights. Unfortunately Latifah’s escape didn’t go to plan and she was recaptured on a yacht off the coast of India. She hasn’t been seen publicly since. We speak with the CEO of Detained In Dubai, Radha Stirling, who helped Latifa with her escape attempt and is continuing to raise awareness about the case. As you will hear, Latifa’s life is far from a fairytale and life behind the palace walls is anything but safe.
