The Quicky

This week, US Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi landed in Taiwan, the highest ranked US official to visit the disputed island in decades. This move was considered a provocative one by the Chinese Government. China has since responded to her arrival by flying military planes on the Taiwan Strait border and has informed the region they will be test firing missiles and conducting military operations in the region. In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to The Director of Public Opinion and Foreign Policy at the Lowy Institute, Natasha Kassam about the possible implications this visit may produce and whether we're at risk of pushing us into war.   Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

A recent study into the state of Australia's Mental Health has revealed some alarming statistics about the states of mind of Aussie women.  In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to The Federal Government's Chief Deputy Medical Officer for Mental Health, Ruth Vine, about whether we're seeing an increase in mental health issues because we really are experiencing an increase, or is it because we're just talking about it more.  If you feel like you're not coping, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

This week, there's been a lot of talk about celebrities and their private jets.  Taylor Swift has been accused of being the worst celebrity contributor to climate change, after data revealed her private jet has taken to the skies 170 times in the first 200 days of 2022. Her plane has emitted more than 8000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide.  But, are celebrities and their private jets really to blame for climate change?  In today's episode of The Quicky, we speak to Tim Baxter from The Climate Council about whether changing celeb behaviour can help change the environment.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

You've probably seen the videos going viral at the moment that show random acts of kindness. Whether it's a bunch of flowers for a surprised stranger, or paying someone's entire shopping bill. These videos are then posted online for millions to see.  But, is it truly kind to post a video without the subjects consent? What are the impacts?  On this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Dr Clare Southerton, a lecturer in Digital Technology and Pedagogy at La Trobe University about how uploading a video of someone could change how they live.  CREDITS  Host: Claire Murphy With thanks to: Dr Clare Southerton - Lecturer in Digital Technology and Pedagogy at La Trobe University  Producer: Claire Murphy Executive Producer: Siobhán Moran-McFarlane Audio Producer: Thom Lion Subscribe to The Quicky at... https://mamamia.com.au/the-quicky/ Mamamia acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land we have recorded this podcast on, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.
