These people often say the police have no jurisdiction over them because they are Sovereign Citizens.  These people have increased in numbers since the Covid pandemic with anti-government sentiment on the rise, many decided it's time to free themselves from the Australian legal system and declare themselves a separate entity.  In today's episode of The Quicky we look at who sovereign citizens are, what they want and why the FBI has declared them incredibly dangerous.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

In February, 16 year old Stella Berry was bitten and killed by a bull shark in Perth's Swan River. It's the first shark fatality for Australia in 2023, and the first in The Swan River in a century.  We all know there are sharks in ocean. We all know that they are dangerous predators.  But do you know what to do when confronted with one?  In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a man who was bitten by a shark not far from the same spot that Stella Berry was killed. We also hear from a shark safety diver who works with sharks every day, about what not to do if you come face to face with one of the oceans deadliest hunters.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Prince Harry's tell-all memoir, Spare hit the shelves in January, and it created a complete frenzy with Royal fans and haters, alike.  We've heard about a physical altercation with Prince William, his time in the military and we even got a peak inside the time Harry lost his virginity. But, not all his stories have been well received.  In this episode of The Quicky we look at why Harry's exposés have been a little too much for some to swallow and what happens now he's put all that dirty laundry on display.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Who will benefit from their use? Who will be eligible?  In today's episode of The Quicky, we speak to professionals to break down psychedelics for the treatment of mental health issues and whether this move really does open up the door to new treatments that could end the suffering of thousands. We also speak to a woman who lost her husband who's life may have been saved if he had access to these drugs.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

On average, that equates to 20 women a day.  Every February, Heart Research Australia dedicates a month to heart research - they call it RedFeb. On top of asking for people to wear red and donate, they're raising awareness for the under diagnosis and lack of treatment for women with heart disease.  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the risk factors that specifically affect women, and what you can do to look after your heart health.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
