The Unspoken Taylor Tension We Had To Address

Subscribe to Mamamia

Perin Davey has admitted to being under the influence of alcohol speaking in the senate, just a week after images of a drunk and disorderly Barnaby Joyce went viral after he attended a political function. So, should government leaders be allowed to drink while on the clock? Or should the PM implement random drug and alcohol testing? We can't agree.

Plus, Mia shares her 'transcendent' Eras Tour experience with two self-declared “non-Swifties” and we unpack a trend at the concert that's giving us all the ick!

And, why even the smallest “bid” for connection, and how it's received, can be a crucial indicator of how healthy a relationship or friendship is.
