Over the weekend Prince Harry was back doing yet another interview. This time with Dr Gabor Maté, an expert in trauma and childhood development who diagnosed him with a disorder on a live stream.

But how can someone he's only met twice throw out a diagnosis without properly assessing him? What implications are there for those watching, and for Harry himself? What do we need to know before we're too quick to self-diagnose? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the dangers of Prince Harry's latest interview and what it's really like to get a diagnosis of ADHD.

Australia's rental market is less affordable than ever, with low vacancy rates and rising rent levels contributing to a housing crisis.

With converted sheds, divided room spaces, tents and caravans all being explored as options, one group of renters are actually becoming home owners on a much, much smaller scale. 

Today we meet someone who lives in a tiny home - and look at whether it really is the answer to our growing housing problems.

There's a reason we call dogs "man's (and woman's of course) best friend". They're loyal, loving and oftentimes, considered to be an additional family member. 

They can sniff out disease, drugs, bombs, money. They pull heavy weights. They catch criminals. Some dogs even provide a service for people with disabilities, like guide or anxiety dogs. 

So we know dogs are remarkable. They can be trained to do incredible things. But can a dog, who just lives in your house to be loved by you, actually be beneficial to our mental, emotional and physical health? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to an expert to find out what health benefits our fur babies can provide for us.

Last week Queensland put forward a proposal to relax the states drug laws by expanding the Police Drug Diversion Program. 

The program would protect drug offenders found with less than 50 grams of all drugs from being prosecuted, and instead push them into professional help.

In this episode of The Quicky, we look at whether drugs should be looked at as a health issue instead of a criminal one and how relaxing the rules could lead to a healthier community.

For the very first time, World Pride is being held in Australia. And while the LGBTQIA+ is being encouraged and given a platform to celebrate along with their allies, there is a stage in Australia where the rainbow flag still sparks controversy. 

A lot of sporting codes in Australia include an annual Pride round in their fixtures, where players are asked to don the rainbow flag either on their arm bands, guernseys, jerseys or elsewhere. But, some players refuse to wear the symbol and choose to instead boycott that game. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to an athlete who is in a same-sex relationship  whose teammate declined to wear a rainbow guernsey for their Pride round to find out how you navigate your sporting career with a teammate who publicly doesn't the LGBTQIA+ community.
