The Quicky

Last week, a breakthrough in the unsolved murder of former AC/DC manager Crispin Dye, who was killed in 1993 in what was a presumed gay hate crime, made headlines around the country.  The investigation is part of an inquiry unfolding in NSW that's looking into gay and transgender hate crimes and how they've been handled by police. In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the inquiry, what it's already uncovered and what it hopes to dig up next.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

Late last week India celebrated as it became the fourth country to land on the moon.  It was an unmanned mission, with two robots deploying onto the moons surface. But it's the where and why that's raising some questions. India landed on the moon's rocky south pole - the first nation to do so, to study orbit, atmosphere and resources like lunar ice.  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the moon, what’s on it, and why space agencies around the world are racing to get there first.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Bradley Cooper has caused some controversy this week. The trailer for his latest movie Maestro, where he plays the famous conductor Leonard Berstein, showcases Cooper wearing a prosthetic nose in a bid to make him appear more like Bernstein...or, as many people have complained, more jewish.  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at why people are so outraged by the choice to give Cooper prosthetics and where we should be drawing the line when it comes to actors playing characters from minority groups that they don't belong to.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

You've probably come across a child influencer or two while scrolling through social media. Some have millions of followers...and in that world, followers usually equals money.  But where is the money these children earn actually going?  A new law was passed in the US this week to protect child influencers and ensure kids featured in social media videos are paid for their influencing work.  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at those laws to see if our Aussie influencer kids are also being adequately protected.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
