The Quicky

We've been hearing for weeks now that the arrest of Former President Donald Trump was imminent and yesterday, those rumours finally became reality for the former President appearing before the court in New York. He's been formally charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.  Of course, Trump has called it 'Political Persecution' and has called on his followers to protest. So now we're left wondering how this whole thing is going to play out, after all, no former President has ever faced criminal charges before.  In this episode of The Quicky, we find out what happens to a former President facing jail time and what this means for his campaign to become President once again.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

We all know Aussies love their animals, but did you know there are more pets than humans in Australia? Most of us would do anything for our fur babies, but when it comes to our interactions with the vet, sometimes our behaviour is completely inexcusable.  Vets are in short supply, they're experiencing burnout, copping abuse, and sometimes the pressures of their career is pushing them into very dark spaces.  In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a vet who tells us her and her colleagues are struggling and what can be done to help them.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Earlier this month, the locals in Menindee woke up to discover millions of fish had died in their neck of the Darling Baaka River. And it's not the first time this has happened.  So what's causing fish to die by the millions this time? Last time it was blamed on the drought, but there's no drought now? So what is it? And what impact does it have on the locals living there?  In this episode of The Quicky, we find out if our river systems are sick and what can be done to nurse them back to health.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
