Why Bali Is P*ssed Off With Russians

It's well known that Aussies make up the largest cohort of nationalities in Bali at any one time...aside from Indonesians of course. We jest that the island paradise is essentially another Australian post code. But since early last year, another country has been represented in higher numbers on the island paradise...and it has some locals offside.  Since the invasion of Ukraine started, Russians have been fleeing their native land with many heading to Australia's favourite holiday destination.  In this episode of The Quicky we'll take a look at why Russians are fleeing to Bali and why some of their behaviour has some locals calling for them to be sent home.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Legalising Cannabis: About Damn Time Or Dangerous?

Today is April 20, a day that cannabis producers, consumers and advocates will come together to celebrate marijuana.  It's a national day for cannabis culture in the US, and many are saying it's time Australia follow the lead of many American states and legalise marijuana for recreational purposes.  But there are some who are concerned that this will open up the door for misuse and that it will end up having impacts on those who partake.  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the pros and cons of cannabis use and whether legalising it has created a monster or a pathway for relief.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Why Paul Denyer, The Frankston Killer, Should Never Get Parole

In 1993 Paul Denyer murdered three women. He was nicknamed the Frankston Killer.  While he was caught and brought to justice, his 30 year parole period has now come to an end, leaving the families of his victims devastated and those in the community again fearful for their safety, much like they were in 1993.  In this episode of The Quicky we find out why so many people say the man who took the lives of Natalie Russel, Elizabeth Stevens and Deborah Fream, shouldn't get parole, and why many believe Denyer will kill again.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
