The Quicky

Back in October the world was saddened to learn that Friends star Matthew Perry had died. And earlier this week, a toxicology report was made public showing that the actor had Ketamine in his system when he died in his hot tub in LA. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we ask an expert what is ketamine, and why would a known drug addict be treated with a potentially addictive drug?

Back in 2005 a newspaper, owned by Rupert Murdoch, ran a story about Prince William hurting his knee. It raised suspicions amongst the royals. Why? They believed the information was gained by hacking into their voicemails. 

This week, Prince Harry won a court case where a judge ruled in favour of him. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what Harry won, aside from the money. Will this case change the nature of the British press?

Sunshine Coast MP Andrew Wallace is trying to stop our kids from watching porn online.

It's not an easy task but other countries are already introducing age restrictions on certain types of websites including those where you can access alcohol delivery, gambling and pornography.

Earlier this week Zac Efron joined an elite group of actors, singers, athletes and broadcasters when he was honoured with his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

While we've seen the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg and even Mickey Mouse accept their star on the famous footpath, have you ever thought about how exactly these stars come about?
