The spotlight is back on the culture of Australian Police again, after a year of gay-hate crime inquiry revelations, racism from a Northern Territory Police inquiry and just this month, the death of two men, allegedly at the hands of a NSW policeman. 

Following on from the deaths of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, the Sydney Mardi Gras board have rescinded the invitation for Police to march in this years Pride parade. 

This episode of The Quicky takes a look at the systemic issues within the Australian Police force and how the LGBTQIA+ community is reeling from recent events.

A new, first of its kind study has revealed a link between women who experience long covid and a decrease in their sexual health.

We know so much about how the coronavirus impacted other areas of our health, but this study finally looks at the impact of COVID-19 on 6 key sexual health areas in women, finding those who had contracted covid were more likely to be experiencing sexual disfunction.

So can we do anything about it? How do we discuss it with our doctors and why is the world in general having less sex in 2024?

The Quicky team investigates the link between covid and our low libidos

The Quicky evening news update for Friday February 3rd 2024.

1. Police say they are investigating if missing Victorian woman Samantha Murphy’s body has potentially been moved as they reveal it is unlikely that the 51 year old will be found alive.

Ms Murphy left her Ballarat East home for a jog on the morning of February 4 and hasn’t been seen since, the detectives investigating the case saying they are keeping an open mind about her disappearance but that the most likely scenario is that it involved one or more parties, ruling out a medical episode and with nothing to indicate that she left the area on her own accord, leaving them to believe she has possibly been killed and that her body has since been relocated..

The lead detective wouldn’t say how many suspects they are currently following up but clarified that her Husband Mick was not one of them at this stage.

2. A currently serving police officer has been taken into custody after presenting himself to investigators looking into the disappearance of former channel 10 reporter Jessie Baird and his Qantas flight attendant partner Luke Davies.

The 28 year old handed himself in at the Bondi police station shortly after 10:30 this morning after calls from police saying they were looking for a third person who may have information to help them unravel what has happened to the pair, neighbours reporting loud arguments in Baird’s apartment Monday night before blood stained items belonging to both Baird and Davies were found in skip at Cronulla. That discovery led police to Mr Baird’s blood stained apartment in Paddington 30 km away. 

Detective Superintendent Daniel Doherty said the man, who will be charged with two counts of murder, is the ex partner of Jessie Baird but that no motive has been established at this point, but that they have found a projectile that had been discharged that matched a police firearm and a white van, that is believed to have been used to transport the bodies of the two men after being hired on Monday night, has also been located although the bodies are yet to be found.

3. Deputy opposition leader Sussan Ley has called for the Prime Minister to hand over his ticket to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour, saying he’s not a real Swiftie and should give it up for a true super fan.

Speaking to Seven’s Sunrise program Ley says what the PM does on his nights off is of course up to him, and if he wants to see Taylor Swift that’s cool but listening to those who couldn't get tickets ,she sent a message to Anthony Albanese to hand them over to a real Swiftie.

Mr Albanese says he’s looking forward to the gig and says he's already been given a bunch of friendship bracelets to prepare for the night.

4. For the first time, the winners of the London Marathon, whether they are able bodied or not, will get equal prize money.

The wheelchair category in London was already one of the highest paid purses for a marathon in the world but from this year, there will be an increase of US $54,000 to the overall prize pool with the wheelchair winners taking home $55,000, second $30,000 and third $22,000.

the London marathon will be held on Sunday April 21 with three Aussies in the wheelchair category, including previous winner and defending champion Madison de Rozario

Our major supermarkets have faced some controversy lately; accused of price gouging customers, stifling competitors and ripping off suppliers. 

An investigation by Four Corners earlier this week showed a CEO walking out of a sit-down interview, followed by a subsequent announcement that same CEO would be retiring. 

But what is price gouging? And why is the announcement of a CEO retiring so controversial? 

In this episode of The Quicky we investigate what our supermarkets are doing and whether we, as the consumers, can be hopeful for improvements in pricing transparency and affordability when we get to the checkouts.
