Is This The Beginning Of The End For Putin?
Over the weekend, we watched as Russia teetered on the brink of civil war, capturing the world's attention. We woke up Sunday to an unexpected turn of events involving a deal with Belarus. But what happened in the lead up to that deal...and what does it mean? In this episode of The Quicky, we're breaking down exactly what happened and where Russian President Putin stands now with the war in Ukraine, after his own man told the Russian people that the reasons behind the conflict are all a lie.

What Now For Kathleen Folbigg? Advice From A Former Inmate
When Kathleen Folbigg was jailed in 2003 John Howard was the Prime Minister, MySpace was emerging as a new social network and iPhone's were still four years away from launching. Walked out of jail just over two weeks ago, she faced a world full of unfamiliar things. On her first night of freedom, she ate pizza and drank something that was popular when she went to jail: Kahlua and Coke. But now that the rush of being free has subsided and the reality of life on the outside kicks in, what will life be like? In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a man who also spent time behind bars for a crime he didn't commit, and find out what life after prison is really like.

Busting 10 Myths About The Voice To Parliament
Earlier this week the legislation that will allow Australians to vote on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament was passed, ending months of debate. All we need now is Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to set a date for Aussies to head to the polls and vote. In the past few months we've heard arguments from both the 'yes' and 'no' camps. And amongst those, we've heard all kinds of conspiracies about just what The Voice will have the power to do. In this episode of The Quicky we're going to bust some myths surrounding The Voice to Parliament. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!
