We’ll be bringing you all the latest from Massachusetts. In tribute to Gloria Steinem, we are re-sharing this 2016 conversation between Gloria and Mia Freedman, recorded during Gloria's visit to Australia. She reflects on ageing in public, the pressure on women to stay young, celebrity feminism, and her friendships with a younger generation of feminists including Lena Dunham. It's a candid, wide-ranging conversation with a woman who shaped the modern women's movement — full of the warmth, wit and clarity she was known for. Here is the link for this amazing chat.

Number 4: Your AM Headlines + Are Election Promises Sending Us Broke?
HEADLINES: Among the tragic headlines from Nepal, one of the missing Australians has been found in Tibet. Pill testing will be rolled out at New South Wales music festivals from next month, following a year-long trial. A 16-year-old boy has told a Sydney court he planned to bomb the Sydney Opera House on the Sydney Marathon day in 2024, after being radicalised through extremist content on Tiktok. Phones, laptops and gaming consoles are about to get more expensive, and the AI boom is to blame. Scientists might have got something fundamental wrong about our universe, and a new NASA telescope just launched to find out. And if you've ever done the maths on what a child actually costs, this might make you jealous... Australia has just passed one trillion dollars in government debt, and combined state, territory and federal debt is set to hit two trillion by the end of the decade. On this episode of The Quicky, we ask why nobody seems worried: from ballooning state budgets since COVID to the "free" election promises being made ahead of the Victorian and NSW polls. Experts from the Grattan Institute and the Centre for Independent Studies explain why debt feels abstract to voters, and why the bill always seems to land later.

Number 5: Your AM Headlines + Why We'll Be Seeing More Sharks This Summer
HEADLINES: A new poll suggests most Australians don't think the federal government's response to a string of recent gender-based violence stories has been good enough. The federal government has softened a plan designed to keep more Australian gas at home and ease power bills. Australians are buying electric cars faster than the country can build places to charge them. Toxic "forever chemicals" have turned up in Australian rainwater for the first time, but researchers say there's no cause for alarm. Some good tech news today - turns out AI might create more entry-level jobs for young Australians, not fewer. And if Prince Harry needed further proof he's well and truly out of the royal fold, Uganda just delivered it. PLUS Why Australia is lagging on forever chemical regulation.
