Anti Semitism, Explained
Kanye West has said some pretty awful things about the Jewish community of late. He has accused them of controlling business, of controlling people in his industry including himself, he has threatened them, and said he will no longer stand for their influence… and it has set off groups of like-minded individuals who have taken their suspicions of Jewish people to the streets. But where does this hatred for Jewish people come from and why haven't the lessons of the past shown people just how deadly and dangerous this type of rhetoric can be? Today, we try to understand anti-semitism and why Kanye is wading into a long and brutal history with a tweet. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

What Is Sport Willing To Ignore For The Money?
Last week there was a lot of conversations around the Diamonds, the Aussie netball team, who pushed back on a sponsorship deal that would see them wear the logo of a company that had a complicated and racist history with Indigenous Australians. While the outcome saw the diamonds lose $15 million and possibly more, questions were raised about the intersection of sport and politics, about whether athletes should keep quiet and take the money for the sake of the game rather than have an opinion about the deal. Today we look at how clubs select who backs them financially and whether that money should come with a guarantee to not bite the hand that feeds them. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

What Australia's Best Teachers Want You To Know About Their Job
Teacher's have had a rough couple of years. From the pandemic shut downs to the post pandemic short staffing and the industrial action that saw thousands take to the streets, there seems to be an endless supply of negative news from the classroom. But among all that noise there are still incredible people who dedicate their lives to teaching the young minds of Australia all the things they need to arm themselves for leaving school and beyond. For this year's national teachers day celebrations we speak to Australia's teachers of the year and get some insight on what it really takes to cut it in the classroom.

Will We Even Have A Summer This Year?
Rain, rain go away, come again another day. It's the creepy children's rhyme that has crossed the minds of many an Australian in recent times as La Ninà continues to dominate weather patterns across the country. With floods over and over in some parts and impacting areas where water has been scarce for many years, the endless wet has put a damper on events, lives and businesses across Australia. But word on the street is that La Ninà is almost over for this season, so how do we know that's true and what does that mean for what comes after? Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
