The Quicky

In 2012, 24-year-old Nicole Fitzsimons was holidaying in Thailand when she was fatally injured in a motorbike accident. Sadly this isn't an isolated event, with the latest statistics from the Department of Foreign Affairs showing that on average an Australian dies every one and a half days in Thailand.   Would you know what to do if your loved one died on a holiday?  In today's episode, Nicole's sister Kate will share her story from the days and weeks after Nicole's death. And we will be joined by Janelle Chalmers aka ‘Chalmer the Embalmer’ to find out what we need to know about a bodies final journey home.  CREDITS Host/Producer: Claire Murphy Executive Producer: Elle Beattie Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri Extra special credit to Kate Fitzsimons for sharing her story so openly and eloquently.

Blake Garvey, Michael Cox, Paulini, Davina Rankin - do those names mean anything to you? What if we said ‘Most hated Bachelor or all time’, the ‘Turkey slap incident’, ‘Fat Shamed by Dicko’ or MAFS cheating txt scandal’. These are the real people behind the reality TV shows, the people who have to return home to a forever altered real life. Clare Verrall was chosen for season 2 of Married at First Sight. She was teamed up with Jono, the guy who famously said ‘she’s not what I ordered’ as she walked down the aisle. How long does it take for someone to get their life back on track after a stint on Australia’s small screen? Clare helps us understand just how difficult that can be. If you or someone you know is struggling to cope, there are people who care and can listen.

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 today’s episode of The Quicky, we’ll be discussing period poverty with Rochelle Courtenay from Share The Dignity. We’ll also be speaking with 17-year-old Rachel, who bravely shares her homelessness journey and the impact her period had on her schooling.   CREDITS Host/Producer: Claire Murphy Executive Producer: Elle Beattie Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri Thanks to our special guest Rochelle Courtenay from Share The Dignity.

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.
