2021/09/16

Within a few weeks, Australia will begin trialling our first vaccine passports, following in the footsteps of many other countries where this digital document is already commonly used to gain access to domestic services like hairdressers and restaurants, and international travel.

2021/09/14

When someone dies with Covid-19, one question that quickly comes up, is did they have an underlying health condition? It seems we find it easier to accept a person's death if we think they were already very ill or elderly, but is this just a way of excusing these deaths? And how do you know if your own medical conditions make you more vulnerable? The Quicky speaks to a medical expert to find out what counts as an 'underlying health condition', and how much of an impact that really has on your risk

With all eyes on the pandemic, you might not have noticed that last month our Federal Government passed new laws that mean if you are suspected of a crime, police and other agencies can now hack your smartphone without you even knowing about it. The Surveillance Legislation Amendment (Identify and Disrupt) Bill 2021 is intended to help combat the growing problem of online criminal activity which sounds like a good thing, but not everyone is convinced the new powers will only be used to target

It's a sad reality that no matter which industry you're in, if you are a woman who has ever had a job in Australia you've probably witnessed or experienced sexual harassment or assault in the workplace. Last week, hundreds of experts and survivors came together to discuss how we can better protect all women at the National Summit on Women's Safety, but with the Government refusing to implement key reforms, will it really make a difference?

There have been many downsides to the pandemic, but one of the worst is that it seems to have divided Aussies into a collection of individual states and territories rather than one united nation. The fight over closed domestic borders, and politicians at all levels blaming each other over their handling of Covid-19 has caused what some fear may be an irreparable rift.

But what about states like WA and Queensland where no serious outbreaks have occurred for a long time, are they living in a fantasy that they can stay Covid-free forever, or should the rest of the country be trying to get back to zero cases?
