There are currently more cooking competitions on TV than ever before, as it seems we just can't get enough of all the different variations of professionals and amateurs competing for a culinary prize, but why do we love these programs so much?

And it's not just about being a passive observer, many of us also love to participate in a cook off in our own lives, whether it be at the local Easter show or with a group of friends.

The Quicky speaks to a Masterchef contestant, two friends who host an annual cooking competition, and a psychologist to find out why we seemingly love nothing more than getting competitive in the kitchen.

Hollywood actor Bill Murray has been a firm favourite with audiences for decades, so when news broke last month that his latest film had to stop shooting after just three days because of his inappropriate behaviour, many people were shocked.

Lucy Liu was probably not one of them though, as she claims that his actions had been problematic on the set of Charlie's Angels back in the year 2000, and it was revealed he also caused problems on the set of the 90's film 'What About Bob?'

So the question is, can you ever teach an 'old dog' new tricks and change their words and actions to ensure their conduct is appropriate in 2022, or is there no hope?

The Quicky speaks to an expert psychologist and an older man who admits he needs some guidance to update his thinking, to find out what practical tools and advice you can employ in your own life to help change the ways of the ones you love for the better.

Last week, women across the world were furious when a leaked document revealed the US Supreme Court is considering overturning a ruling from 50 years ago that gives women the legal right to have an abortion, putting all American women's reproductive rights at risk.

Many have queried how and why the document was leaked, but the bigger questions are why are these judges even considering overturning Roe V. Wade, and what will happen to all the women who need access to abortions for a wide variety of reasons?

The Quicky speaks to an international law expert and four women who have had abortions for different reasons, to find out just how dangerous this ruling could be to the health and wellbeing of all women, including in Australia.

It's now less than two weeks until 17 million Aussies will head to the local polling station to cast their vote in the Federal election and hopefully get a free democracy sausage to celebrate.

But what happens if you don't know who to vote for? Or maybe you don't really understand how our preferential voting system works anyway? And how do you cut through all the noise and work out who actually stands for what?

The Quicky speaks to an expert in Australian politics to answer some of your biggest questions that you've always wanted to know about elections and voting, so you can feel confident when you go to choose your favourite candidate on May 21.

Imagine every day you go to work and not only are you confronted by a crowd of people telling you how terrible you are at your job, but that the reason you're terrible at your job is because you're a woman.

That's what female umpires face when they step out to referee sports across the country, and with a damning report into the culture of AFL umpiring, it's been revealed that the abuse is not just coming from the crowd but from within their own ranks too.

The Quicky team speaks to a former umpire and author of that report to find out what's turning women away from doing a job they love.

*please note some of the content from the report has been voiced by voice actors
