The Quicky

There is just 9 days left until Aussies head to the polls to vote in the referendum on The Voice To Parliament. 

Briggs is an actor, rapper and activist as well as a proud Yorta Yorta man who's been a driving force for the yes campaign - today we sit down with him to look at the arguments that tried to convince us to say no in the past, how they align with todays no campaign and what might go down for First Nations Australians after the polls close on October 14.

When you think 90's supermodel you think of the big four, the OG's..Cindy, Christy, Linda and Naomi. 

These four women were the first supermodels. They graced the pages of magazines, appeared in music videos...they were everywhere and everything.

And as a new documentary takes us behind the scenes and into the world's of these women, we've learnt they started as so many others did, as vulnerable young women at the mercy of a cut throat fashion industry. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the influence of the original supermodels and whether their brand of body image is any worse or better than those we see on our screens and runways today.

2023 has been a turbulent year for flying.

Between hundreds of people being stranded in Vanuatu last week because of technical issues. Qantas allegedly selling tickets for thousands of cancelled flights. And a lot of flight delays. There have been a lot of ongoing problems with flying around – and out of – Australia. And people are paying a lot of money for the privilege, with international airfares up by more than 50% from pre-pandemic levels. 

With all of this in mind, you might be wondering how travellers are going to fare over the upcoming holiday period, and what you can do to try and ensure cheaper, smoother trips. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we’re going to look at what has been happening in Australia’s aviation industry this year and what consumers can do to try and navigate the chaos.

Ask the men in your life how often they think of The Roman Empire...their answer might surprise you. 

The trend has become viral around the world, with hundreds of videos cropping up on social media platforms asking this simple and, yes, somewhat bizarre question. 

So what is it about the Roman Empire that makes some men so excited today, two thousand years later?

In this episode of The Quicky, we’re going to look at what’s going on inside men’s heads when it comes to this Roman Empire question but more importantly, we’re going to talk about why women are so obsessed with asking this question to begin with.

Nearly five months ago, Hollywood writers went on strike, bringing the TV and movie industry to a standstill. 

The Writers Guild of America, which represents more than 11,000 screenwriters, led the demands for better pay, staffing minimums and protections against AI on the work of writers.

Now, after a tentative deal was reached with entertainment companies over the weekend and accepted on Wednesday, writers are free to return to work this week. This has been one of the longest strikes in the Writer’s Guild’s history – so what has it achieved? 

What does the deal outline? And what does all of this mean for us as TV and movie watchers for the rest of 2023? 

Today we’re going to look at the writer’s strikes and what writers managed to negotiate for themselves after months of protesting.
