On Friday, the UN claimed that the era of global warming was over, that now, we have entered a new phase of climate change - global boiling. The evidence is clear, the world is getting hotter and with wildfires now forcing people to flee parts of Greece while also threatening several other European countries, those places we flock to during Australia’s colder months are starting to look like they may not be the ideal escape in the future. We look at where our European and Australian Summer holidays are headed as the UN tells us climate change isn't on the horizon... it’s here Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Twitter is dead...no, not literally, the website and app are still alive and well, but it's not called Twitter anymore. And the little blue bird is gone. New owner, millionaire Elon Musk, has rebranded it as X.  The response has been varied. Some say it brings the social media platform into line with his other businesses and makes it completely his...others say it's the final nail in the coffin and have found the exit door.  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what the hell is happening at Twitter...I mean X, headquarters and why this might be more than just a new logo.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

When July 1 comes around, many Australians get a little excited for a boost in their bank accounts in the form of a tax return.  But this year is a little different for many of us. This year, a crucial tax factor is missing, one that 10 million of us have been enjoying since 2019.  In this episode of The Quicky, we find out who this tax change will impact and other ways in which you might end up having to negotiate a payment plan with the ATO this financial year.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Everywhere you turn right now, it's almost certain that you will see the colour pink. It's in our stores, on our social media pages and our TV's,  all in celebration for a doll, well actually a movie about a doll, that for years we were told was doing young women a disservice.  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the powerhouse that is the marketing campaign of the Barbie movie. How they took a toy that had seen a decline in sales and relaunched it to become a best seller. And whether confronting your products faults can go anyway to absolving them of their past mistakes.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!
