The Quicky

Last month, Australia's high court ruled that it was illegal to keep people in indefinite immigration detention without the prospect of being deported back to the country of origin. 

Since then, hundreds of detainees were released into the public. In the past few days, three have been arrested. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we break down indefinite detention, who the people are being let out, what they've done since and the new laws aimed at putting them back in detention.

Australia has entered another wave of Covid. The eighth to circulate since the virus first reared its head back in late 2019. 

But now, four years on, we don't know what vaccine we're up to or what strain of Covid is circulating. So how do we know that numbers are increasing? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at where we're at with our eighth wave of Covid, new vaccines and whether or not we'll be staring down yet another Covid Christmas.

We know too much exposure to blue light can affect our eyes, sleep and health,  but did you know it can also affect your skin? 

Blue light emits through our phones, computer screens and tvs and only now have we started to understand the problems exposure to blue light could be causing. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we look at how blue light is damaging our skin, and how we can help ourselves avoid its addictive glow.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese recently stood on the floor in federal parliament and apologised to the victims and families of a shocking 1950's and 60's pharmaceutical nightmare.

For women who were struggling with morning sickness back then, a drug was being marketed to them as the cure for their nausea. Thalidomide would help ease a rolling tummy but what those mothers didn't know and what the people who manufactured the drug failed to explore, was the impact this drug would have on their unborn children.

Today The Quicky team looks into the impacts of thalidomide, and the children who still live with it's devastating consequences today.
