The Quicky

Hundreds of patients, including dozens of babies, have been trapped inside Gaza's largest hospital as Israeli troops and Hamas militants are fighting outside. 

Claims of airstrikes have seen finger pointing from both sides, there are claims that Hamas is using it as a headquarters, and now, those trying to treat the sick, injured, pregnant and dying are struggling to do so without access to basic supplies. 

In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at why Al-Shifa hospital has become central in this war, and what happens next to the most vulnerable.

There's a form of elder abuse that's on the rise, and the NSW Ageing and Disability Commission think they know why. 

"Inheritance Impatience" is the term being used to explain an increase in elder abuse as younger generations trying to get by are watching as their boomer parents continue to hold the majority of the country's wealth as their life expectancy continues to grow. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at whether money really is causing an increase in abuse in our elder generations.

Many people will claim to be a chocoholic or sugar addict, but can we really be addicted to food? 

A new study has suggested that not only are some foods addictive, they can actually be just as addictive as alcohol and almost as addictive as some drugs. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what foods are getting under our skin so efficiently that we really can't live without them.

When OG Red Wiggle Murray Cook retired from performing along with his cast mates Greg and Jeff, many thought it would be the end of the children's entertainers.

But through reinvention, the introduction of the first girl Wiggle and now a diverse cast of men, women and different cultural backgrounds, the Wiggles have been able to evolve and keep the brand moving forward more than 30 years after their invention.

So are they immortal? Can the wiggles continue on indefinitely?

Original red Wiggle Murray Cook certainly hopes so

We often hear about toxic masculinity. And when discussing it, there's one man seemingly leading the virtual pack - Andrew Tate.

We have seen how he, and many like him, can have a direct impact on the way in which men view the women around them. But how do you stop this and teach them about positive masculinity? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the ways the Australian Government is planning to anti-Andrew Tate young Aussie men through the Healthy Masculinities Project, and how it's hoping to turn those young men from dangerous presence to positive partners.
