The Quicky

It was a result that no-one saw coming, despite all the pre-election commentary that predicted women would decide the outcome, and it seems we've chosen a swathe of professional women to replace conservative male MPs in even the safest of seats. So what pushed us to create one of the biggest political overhauls we may ever see in Parliament in our lifetime? It is just because we desperately want action on climate change and trust the 'Teal Independents' to finally get us there, or is there more to this story? The Quicky speaks to an expert in women and Australian politics to find out how we came together to disrupt the status quo, and whether we might have finally have overthrown the political patriarchy for good.

Fast fashion brands have never been more popular, pumping out tens of thousands of new designs every week at rock-bottom prices, with countless social media influencers showing off their 'hauls' on Instagram and TikTok. But how are these clothes made so quickly, and at such a low cost to us as consumers? Is it all a result of slave labour and terrible environmental practices, or are they some benefits of fast fashion? The Quicky speaks to two fashion experts to find out exactly what counts as 'fast fashion', why it's so hard for us to give up, whether it is the only option for diverse body types, and if there is a reasonably priced alternative.

It's well known that in many relationships, women undertake the majority of the housework, mental load, and caring responsibilities, but new research has found that men often also steal time from their partners so that they can exercise. This means the woman will stay at home and give up even more of her precious time to carry out additional household duties, while the man has extra time off to work out. To find out how we know this to be true, and what can be done to counteract it, The Quicky speaks to the co-author of the study, and several of you to discuss how common this is, and what we can do to reclaim our own time.
