Last week, women across the world were furious when a leaked document revealed the US Supreme Court is considering overturning a ruling from 50 years ago that gives women the legal right to have an abortion, putting all American women's reproductive rights at risk. Many have queried how and why the document was leaked, but the bigger questions are why are these judges even considering overturning Roe V. Wade, and what will happen to all the women who need access to abortions for a wide variety of reasons? The Quicky speaks to an international law expert and four women who have had abortions for different reasons, to find out just how dangerous this ruling could be to the health and wellbeing of all women, including in Australia.

It's now less than two weeks until 17 million Aussies will head to the local polling station to cast their vote in the Federal election and hopefully get a free democracy sausage to celebrate. But what happens if you don't know who to vote for? Or maybe you don't really understand how our preferential voting system works anyway? And how do you cut through all the noise and work out who actually stands for what? The Quicky speaks to an expert in Australian politics to answer some of your biggest questions that you've always wanted to know about elections and voting, so you can feel confident when you go to choose your favourite candidate on May 21.

Imagine every day you go to work and not only are you confronted by a crowd of people telling you how terrible you are at your job, but that the reason you're terrible at your job is because you're a woman. That's what female umpires face when they step out to referee sports across the country, and with a damning report into the culture of AFL umpiring, it's been revealed that the abuse is not just coming from the crowd but from within their own ranks too. The Quicky team speaks to a former umpire and author of that report to find out what's turning women away from doing a job they love. *please note some of the content from the report has been voiced by voice actors CREDITS  Host: Claire Murphy With thanks to: Dr Victoria Rawlings - former AFL umpire and Researcher, and Lecturer in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Sydney.

Since the Reserve Bank of Australia announced a much-anticipated rise in the interest rate earlier this week, there has been a lot of speculation about how this will impact inflation, house prices, and the general cost of living which we all know is on the rise. But how do we crunch the numbers and understand what any of this actually means for our own household budget and bottom line at the end of each month? The Quicky speaks to an expert in economics, and a housing market guru to find out exactly how the interest rate impacts our economy, and what it means for you personally, no matter what your financial situation. *Please note in this episode, the email from our listener Julie is voiced by one of our team members.
