The Victorian government recently began it’s plan to phase out gas in the state’s homes by announcing they were banning any new gas connections to newly built homes starting from January next year. But why have we turned on gas? it used to be sold to us as the more affordable and more environmentally friendly option to electricity, and does this Victorian move mean the rest of the country is about to follow suit? Today we look at what it will mean for Aussies to try and remove gas from our lives, and what happens in our kitchens and lounge rooms as a result. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Did you see the moon last night? Big and glowy, lighting up the sky. It was a supermoon, and it won't be the last one we see this month. August is set to be a big month for moon watchers with two lunar events occurring. The supermoon we witnessed last night, and later this month, a blue moon.  We know the moon changes the tides, but what else can it do?  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at how the moon cycle influences our moods and behaviours...can we really blame the moon for our craziness?  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

This week we heard the Australian housing market continued its growth in July. But while house prices are still going up, they're not going up as fast as they have been, and it could be due to a group of Aussies who have just fully realised the impact of all these rate rises. Experts have raised concerns about the potential effects on property values, housing affordability, and overall financial stability.  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at how those who have just, or are just about to fall off the mortgage cliff can halt the fall and what it means for the housing market.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Australia loves soft drink, but with growing concerns around our health, doctors are calling for a sugar tax.  But what exactly is a sugar tax? Would it impact all food items that contain sugar, or just soft drinks? And does it actually work to motivate people into choosing healthier options when perusing the supermarket aisles.  In this episode of The Quicky, we explore the concept of a Sugar Tax in Australia and find out where that money goes once it's in the governments hands.
