HEADLINES:

• Australians may soon be able to force social media companies to destroy their personal information.

• The average annual total cost for a child to play in a community sport competition is growing.
• Australia is taking a first step towards better understanding motor neurone disease, in a move aimed at getting closer to a cure.

• A major push to tackle hundreds of thousands of potholes is underway, with one state turning prisoners for help.

• Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly being put up by a famous friend as they settle back into life in the UK.

Australia has one of the longest life expectancies in the world, but we also have the second-largest healthspan-lifespan gap globally, meaning the average person spends around 12 years sick before they die.
On this episode of The Quicky, we look at why that's happening: a medical system so good at keeping people alive that doctors treat death as a failure to be intervened against, even in someone's final days.
We hear from author Lucinda Holdforth (Going On and On) on the toll this is taking on informal carers - 85% of whom are women - many in the "sandwich generation" caring for ageing parents and young children at once.
Plus, why voluntary assisted dying isn't the only answer, and how palliative care could offer more dignity at the end of life.

Info on the trial is here and you can learn more about this issue on the MAMA podcast.

The world is mourning the loss of country music legend, actor, and philanthropist Dolly Parton, who has passed away in Nashville at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer. In this special tribute episode of The Quicky, we celebrate the extraordinary life, sharp business acumen, and generous spirit of an icon who brought light to generations.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The surprising alternative currency her family used to pay the local doctor on the day she was born, long before she built a multi-million-dollar empire.

• Why she boldly turned down Elvis Presley over one of her biggest songs—and how that single decision reshaped music history for future generations of artists.

• The staggering scale of her quiet philanthropic work, from donating millions of books to funding major medical breakthroughs behind the scenes.

• The secret track locked away at Dollywood that no one is allowed to hear yet, and the massive collection of unreleased music she left behind.

We're joined by Cameron Adams, Australia's leading music journalist, who reflects on meeting Dolly at her Nashville compound and breaks down why she was perhaps "the last person on Earth that everyone loved." 

Also in today's headlines:

• Why Commissioner Virginia Bell has requested a short delay for the Anti-Semitism Royal Commission's final report, and the solemn anniversary the move aims to respect.
• The proposed green energy rules for massive new AI data centres, and why key state leaders are already pushing back against Anthony Albanese.
