The Quicky

Imagine if you relied on donations of strangers to sustain your immunity. Or in an emergency. Or even during a traumatic or complicated birth or surgery. 

That's the reality for the many people who receive donated blood and plasma every day. 

Today, we're rolling up our sleeves today and getting stuck into blood donation.

The theme for Women's Health Week 2024 is Your Voice, Your Choice; something that not all women experience when seeking medical help for their pain.

As the women's pain inquiry wraps up one thing is clear, more needs to be done to address women's very real pain.

Today we sit down for an exclusive first interview to hear from Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan about the first-hand accounts she's taken from this inquiry, and what happens next.

You know how the saying goes... spring has sprung!

With longer, sunnier, warmer days comes a bunch of other things too.

Like more interest in the property market, stuffy noses thanks to an increase in the pollen count and the overwhelming desire to frantically clean and declutter our homes.

Earlier this week new laws were introduced into Afghanistan restricting the rights and freedoms of women.

Under the Taliban's vice & virtue laws, women's voices and faces have been banned in public spaces in an effort to avoid temptation or tempting others. 

The rules have sent a shockwave across the world, raising questions of how this can be ethical or legal?

We find out what can be done, if anything, to claw back the rights of women in Afghanistan.
