How Long Should You Date Before You Get Engaged?

Growing out a fringe, recovering from a BBL, even accusations that she might be Banksy? These were just some of the conspiracies clouding the Royals last month after Princess Kate was not seen following a planned abdomen surgery for a serious but undisclosed health condition. 

And earlier this week, hoping to put an end to the conspiracy theories, a photo of Princess Kate and her three kids on Mother's Day was posted to the official Instagram of Kate & William. Hours later a kill notice was issued because the photo had been manipulated. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to our resident royal expert, Holly Wainwright about what exactly happened following that photo and what it means for the Royals now.

Some of Australia's elite all boys schools have been making headlines again - one for all the wrong reasons. Following an exposé revealing female teachers at a Sydney school felt unsafe and marginalised by the toxic behaviours of both students and other teachers. 

This follows from numerous other reports in recent years, including 2022 when a separate Sydney school expelled six students after a brutal hazing ritual was exposed. 

So, is it time to dismantle the all boys school system? In this episode of The Quicky, we speak with a man who works with students across Australia teaching healthy masculinity.

Imagine picking up the phone and realising that your Dad is an ASIO spy?

That happened to Julian Schiller when he was just 12 years old. Since then he has had to navigate the minefield of secrets that envelops ASIO employees due to the nature of their work, to tell the story of how his Dad's job took him from relatively mundane tasks to life threatening situations every day.

With our politicians exposed as targets of foreign operators, he explains why countries like Russia and China still have their eyes on us.
