The Quicky

In Australia the current age to sign up to social media platforms is 13 years old, but research suggests that is too young and that social media is actually rewiring kids brains to become more anxious, contributing to an epidemic of mental illness. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we discuss the 36 Month Movement with it's spokesperson and co-founder Nova's Michael 'Wippa' Whipfli about why he wants to increase the age of social media sign up from 13 to 16 and what difference that could have on kids mental health.

Content Warning: In this episode, we do discuss domestic violence in detail. Please take care when listening. 

The rate of men killing women in Australia is alarmingly high, with now one woman being violently murdered every four days. Three women were allegedly murdered in the space of 48 hours this past week. 

One thing that pops up time and time again is how women can better protect themselves against these men. But would learning self defence actually help? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the pros and cons of taking matters into your own hands when it comes to protecting yourself, and how martial arts might just help to bring down the heartbreaking statistics. 

If you, or someone you know needs help, call 1800 RESPECT - 1800 737 732

On May 21, Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 was flying 211 passengers when it hit some unexpected turbulence. Many passengers suffered head and spinal injuries, and sadly one passed away after it's believed his heart gave out. 

But what happened? What is turbulence? Can pilots avoid it? Is it deadly? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the report explaining exactly what happened to flight SQ321, if turbulence is getting worse, and if so, what can we do about it?

On Friday morning Australia woke to the news that Donald Trump, former President of The United States of America, was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records.
