  • Improving

    Got a bit tired of the show but new format seems better though it’s early days. More stories and less going on about stuff which doesn’t concern me. Prefer Taylor.

  • Quality dropped

    I feared as soon as it was announced Claire was leaving The Quickie that the quality would drop. What have happened to the deep dives on current news stories? The last few mornings have just had celebrity news with interviews from your own staff. What has happened to the interview with experts?

I want updates related to real and current stories, not just another celebr... more

Aussie Travellers Warned As Europe Burns & What Today's National Emergency Alarm Means For You
Q: Why is safe-phone technology important, and how does OzAlert improve on older SMS systems?
Safe phones are crucial for emergency contact without tipping off an abuser, and OzAlert uses a newer platform that avoids network congestion and can deliver messages more quickly and reliably when networks are stressed.
Aussie Travellers Warned As Europe Burns & What Today's National Emergency Alarm Means For You
Q: What are the big concerns here when it comes to victim survivors and safety with this test, and I guess this technology as well going forward?
The risk is that hidden safety phones could be detected by perpetrators when the alert sounds, potentially endangering survivors. The advice is to keep safety phones turned off or in flight mode unless needed, to prevent unintentional exposure during the test.
State Leadership Challenge Looms & How To Protect Boys From The Manosphere
Q: What should parents do to protect their kids online?
Start conversations early and often, model respectful behavior, and direct teens toward positive role models while teaching critical thinking about online content.
State Leadership Challenge Looms & How To Protect Boys From The Manosphere
Q: Now, Gem, how have you seen the Manosphere change over time?
It's become more insidious and mainstream, with more figures influencing teenage boys and expanding beyond fringe circles into everyday online spaces.
Your AM Headlines + Why Shingles is Spiking in Younger Women
Q: Gia, what does shingles actually feel like?
Gia describes a sharp, stabbing pain under the breast area that felt like a burning knife at times, evolving from an itchy sensation to severe pain, illustrating how early signs can be non-diagnostic and easily mistaken.
