The Quicky

Sunshine Coast MP Andrew Wallace is trying to stop our kids from watching porn online. It's not an easy task but other countries are already introducing age restrictions on certain types of websites including those where you can access alcohol delivery, gambling and pornography. With the links between pornography consumption and violence in the real world against women and young girls, Andrew Wallace believes we can't act soon enough to shut it down Get involved in Mamamia's charity partnership with Rize Up Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Earlier this week Zac Efron joined an elite group of actors, singers, athletes and broadcasters when he was honoured with his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  While we've seen the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg and even Mickey Mouse accept their star on the famous footpath, have you ever thought about how exactly these stars come about?  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at how celebrities get their name on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, and how it has only a little to do with their talent.   Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Yesterday three Prime Ministers, including our own, came together to call for a sustainable ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.  The call came as the UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to demand the same, in a strong show of global support for ending the Israel Hamas war.  But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said a ceasefire is not an option.  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what it will take to make a ceasefire happen - is international pressure enough to force Israel and Hamas to lay down their weapons?  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

There seems to be two types of people through the month of December. The first are full of festive spirit, excited for the parties and socialising, soaking up those finish line vibes. The others are in full burn out mode, dragging themselves to the end of the month with less optimism and more dread about what the next few weeks look like.  And while you might fit into the latter, there are actually three very distinct types of burnout that extend beyond a feeling of being tired or too busy. In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the three types of burnout and how to combat them to start afresh in 2024.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

You may have heard of Incels before - but do you know what it means? It stands for involuntarily celibate. It's a group of boys and men who group together in online forums to vent their rage and sometimes share the ways they're getting revenge on the women they believe would never date them in the real world.  In this episode of The Quicky we take a look inside the incel movement, the ways in which they are enacting their revenge and why 'chadfishing' might even catch you out.  To learn more about this check out the SBS series Inside The Incels here and here.
