The Quicky

We've been hearing the term 'boys club' bandied around a fair bit surrounding the culture in Canberra... but what does it actually look like? Is it all leather couches and cigar smoking, or is it more about a culture that leaves mostly middle age white men making all the decisions with little input from others? The Quicky speaks to two female politicians and a female publisher who have experienced the 'boys club' on a daily basis to find out how we can move past it, and include everyone at the table.

Making money as an influencer is now a widely-accepted and legitimate business for a lot of people, but many of us are a little more hesitant when it comes to embracing those who make money on OnlyFans. For some it has been a financial lifeline during the pandemic as face-to-face work opportunities have been severely restricted, but for others it is yet another faceless online platform run by a mysterious company that profits from the exploitation of women. The Quicky speaks to an OnlyFans content creator and an expert in online communications to try and decipher whether we should be fans of this service or not.

After what feels like a never-ending stream of sexual assault and harassment allegations coming out of Canberra, the women of Australia are angry and don't want this moment of reckoning to pass without any real change.

While many of us love a cheating scandal on our favourite reality TV show, it is much more difficult to talk about when it is happening to us, even though Australians are ranked fourth-highest in the world when it comes to doing the dirty on a partner. The Quicky showcases some of your true stories to investigate why it's so much easier to cheat than it is to talk about it, and whether it is ever possible to repair a relationship once that trust has been broken.  Subscribe to The Quicky at... https://mamamia.com.au/the-quicky/ CREDITS  Host/Producer: Claire Murphy Executive Producer: Siobhán Moran-McFarlane Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri Guests: Clare Stephens - Editor in Chief at Mamamia Jessie Stephens - Assistant Head of Content and co-host of Mamamia’s flagship podcast, Mamamia Out Loud, and True Crime Conversations Gery Karantzas - Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at Deakin University Julia Nowland - Relationship Therapist and Founder of Whole Heart Relationships CONTACT US Got a topic you'd like us to cover?

The case of one of Australia's most notorious serial killers Kathleen Folbigg has fascinated people across the world since she was accused and convicted of murdering her four young children. But new evidence has led to 90 prominent scientists, including Nobel laureates and other leading Australian and international researchers to call for her to be pardoned and released from jail. The Quicky speaks to one of the experts to unpack the science and examine whether rare genetic mutations could be to blame for all four deaths, and what that means for our justice system that was perhaps too keen to convict her.

When we heard that Harry and Meghan were going to sit down for a no-holds-barred chat with talk show queen Oprah Winfrey, we knew it wouldn't paint a pretty picture of life as a princess.  But the shocking revelations about racism, constant harassment by the press, and an unwillingness to offer Meghan any support for her mental health were even worse than we imagined.  The Quicky investigates the reality of being Royal, and why we continue to believe in and perpetuate the false and dangerous narrative about young girls turning into princesses and having the perfect life when they meet their Prince Charming.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, and despite nearly one million Aussie women suffering from this chronic condition, many of us still know very little about it. That includes doctors, who continue to investigate the causes and potential cures for the illness more than 3,000 years after it was first identified in Ancient Egypt. The Quicky speaks to several women and experts who suffer from Endo themselves to find out what we should all know about this very common but rarely understood disease.

Happy International Women's Day! The term feminism has been around since the early 1800's, but despite multiple waves of feminism over the decades, it remains a somewhat controversial term.

Just over one week ago, a letter was sent to the offices of Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Labor Senator Penny Wong and Greens Senator Sarah Hanson Young detailing horrific allegations of an historical rape against a senior Cabinet Minister. On Wednesday, Attorney General Christian Porter revealed he was the accused perpetrator but categorically denied the allegation and has so far refused calls to stand down from his role. The Quicky speaks to the alleged victim's lawyer to discuss the legal side of the allegations, why the police concluded the investigation so quickly and what could or should happen from here.

As we remain on home turf for the foreseeable future, the idea of owning a pet has never been more attractive, but the theft of two of Lady Gaga's French Bulldogs has made many of us afraid for the safety of our beloved fur babies. Sadly this is a global problem that is on the rise in Australia, as more unscrupulous people try to sell stolen dogs online in a bid to make a quick buck. The Quicky speaks to a canine expert to find out what you can do to protect your pooch, and what you should know before you bring one home.
