The Quicky

If someone asked you if you were okay, what would you say? 

If the answer is no, you wouldn't be alone. But it's what happens immediately after that moment, that could change your life forever. 

This R U OK? Day we hear from Sharn, who in her 'no moment' was saved by a phone call, and from an expert about what we can do when someone tells us they're not okay. 

If you or someone you know is not OK, consider contacting Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636

ICYMI: Princess Catherine has completed her cancer treatment and is ready to get back to life as a working royal.

She's not the only one from The Firm in the headlines these last few weeks, there's a new brotherly feud brewing... and it doesn't involve William or Harry. 

And we can't ignore Meghan's jam debacle either!

It's the case that has shocked France and led to protests outside of an Avignon court house.

For 50 years, Dominique and Gisèle Pélicot were married, but for a decade of their marriage, Gisèle was being raped without her knowledge — drugged and sexually assaulted by dozens and dozens of men. 

If this case were to unfold in Australia, what kind of laws would there be to protect victim survivors from ever having to experience this again?  

If you or someone you know needs to speak to someone help is listed below: 

Lifeline - 13 11 14

1800 RESPECT - 1800 737 732, The National Domestic Family And Sexual Violence Counselling Service

We won't be alone in admitting that we're not the font of knowledge when it comes to neurodiversity.

And while we know raising kids comes with its own moments of joy and frustration, adding a layer of neurodiversity, like autism, presents a whole other set of circumstances. 

Today we find out what the parents of children with Autism want us to know.

Would you buy a product suggested by an AI influencer? You might've already done so without even realising. 

The presence of fake, or AI generated, influencers across the internet has become even more present. 

But who's behind these virtual creators? And who's pocketing the profit from them?
