You may have heard a few things about Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison lately.  Some of his actions while he was Prime Minister have been called into question. But the thing is, nothing he did was actually against the law...so why are we so mad about it?  In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Mark Kenny about why and how Scott Morrison was able to swear himself into multiple ministries, and what changes have been made since.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

It's 2022 so chances are you own, or have used at least one sex toy in your life, or perhaps you have an entire 'goody drawer' in your bedside, because now there is no stigma and we can all freely buy a wide array of sex toys any time of the day or night. But how did we get here? Because until recently sex toys were often considered shameful and something that needed to be hidden behind blacked out windows in shops labelled 'XXX'. The Quicky speaks to our resident 'sexpert' to discover the history and evolution of sex toys, which goes back thousands of years and covers pretty much every culture in the world - even if only behind closed doors. There's a vast array of sex toys on offer for you to explore, and if you want to know which ones women are loving the most right now, check out this article to find out more.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

With the cost of private health insurance continually on the rise, you might be wondering what the point of it really is, and whether you might actually be better off financially to ditch your policy and rely on Medicare instead? But is that true? And do you feel like you have a good understanding of all the different companies, tiers, rebates, caps and other issues associated with this monthly expense? The Quicky speaks to an expert in private medical insurance, and a GP to find out everything you need to know about finding the right policy for you, and how to maximise the benefits you receive.
