The Quicky

10,000 steps a day, 2 litres of water and 8 hours of sleep every night. These are just some of the long standing health mantras we're told to live by. 

So is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? And just how many steps do we actually need to take to keep our health in check? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Dr Brad McKay to discover the fact from fiction when it comes to our health. 

Please seek advice from your medical practitioner before taking on any kind of medical and health advice.

Some of Australia's elite all boys schools have been making headlines again - one for all the wrong reasons. Following an exposé revealing female teachers at a Sydney school felt unsafe and marginalised by the toxic behaviours of both students and other teachers. 

This follows from numerous other reports in recent years, including 2022 when a separate Sydney school expelled six students after a brutal hazing ritual was exposed. 

So, is it time to dismantle the all boys school system? In this episode of The Quicky, we speak with a man who works with students across Australia teaching healthy masculinity.

Imagine picking up the phone and realising that your Dad is an ASIO spy?

That happened to Julian Schiller when he was just 12 years old. Since then he has had to navigate the minefield of secrets that envelops ASIO employees due to the nature of their work, to tell the story of how his Dad's job took him from relatively mundane tasks to life threatening situations every day.

With our politicians exposed as targets of foreign operators, he explains why countries like Russia and China still have their eyes on us.

After new data was made available exposing the gender pay gaps across Australian industries, it made many women wonder, if the men up the corporate ladder are getting paid so much more, could the men beside me also be getting a higher salary?

In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at which businesses are still behind when it comes to the gender pay gap, what is being done to change that now that it's out in the open and what to do if you find out you're being paid less than your male colleagues.
