The Quicky

You've probably come across a child influencer or two while scrolling through social media. Some have millions of followers...and in that world, followers usually equals money. 

But where is the money these children earn actually going? 

A new law was passed in the US this week to protect child influencers and ensure kids featured in social media videos are paid for their influencing work. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at those laws to see if our Aussie influencer kids are also being adequately protected.

This week Tasmania became the first state in Australia to outlaw the Nazi salute. 

They joined other states and territory governments taking a stand against far-right extremism. 

In this episode of The Quicky we take a look to see if banning things like the Nazi salute and Swastika will actually do anything to slow the growth of these movements.

This week former NFL star Michael Oher, known for being the inspiration behind the movie The Blind Side, filed a petition in a US court claiming that everything we saw in the movie about his life was actually a lie. 

In the movie adaptation of his life, we saw Oher, an American footballer adopted by Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy who helped him overcome his tragic upbringing and achieve sporting greatness.

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at what is really happening with the Tuohy's, and speak to a reporter who has been covering the case.

Last week we watched on as fires wiped out parts of the Hawaiian island of Maui. 

For many Aussies, it brought back memories of our own wild fires in the Summer of 2019 and 2020. And just like the situation we found ourselves in back then, there are mixed messages about whether tourists should be visiting and spending their money in a community that desperately needs it, or if they should be staying away to let those communities heal. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we find out of travel to Hawaii should be suspended or if tourist dollars can go some way to helping a community rebuild after tragedy.

The Kardashians have been spruiking something. Something that most of us couldn't dream of affording and it has left doctors questioning. 

Recently Kim Kardashian posted on her Instagram a photo of her in front of a full body scan machine. The same machine was seen in a recent episode of The Kardashians reality show, where mum Kris Jenner, underwent the scan. But what does it do? And how much does it cost? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the full body scans, the cost, and whether or not its the way forward for our health.
