Your AM Headlines + The Cost Of Sport On Our Brains

HEADLINES: Four men have been interviewed by Victoria Police detectives this week as part of investigations into the sexual assault allegations linked to the Sydney Swans AFL club. Police are investigating after a man was shot dead in Sydney’s west in what detectives believe was a targeted daylight attack. Consent advocate Chanel Contos has told National Press Club that big tech is radicalising young men into harmful sexual behaviour, and is pushing for a ban on social media algorithms. The world is on track to exceed 1.5 degrees of global warming within years, according to a new UN report. So it turns out we’ve all been drinking water wrong. And good news for animal lovers about the New Zealand kākāpō. New research suggests the real damage in contact sports might not be happening on game day, but during training, and it's raising urgent questions for anyone with a kid on a footy field this weekend. On this episode of The Quicky, we look at the degenerative brain disease increasingly turning up in Australian football codes, from AFL and AFLW to soccer, and why doctors believe the cumulative hits from years of junior sport could matter more than any single big hit. We hear from leading neurologist Dr Rowena Mobbs on what parents and clubs can actually do about it, and why the answer isn't pulling your kid off the field.Important concussion advice from Dr Rowena Mobbs, neurologist at Mater Hospital Sydney: - Keep brain health front of mind.- Carefully observe the athlete if a concussion is suspected and follow the protocols.- Know the red flags that may indicate a more serious brain injury: Neck pain - Increasing confusion, agitation or irritability - Repeated vomiting - Seizure or convulsion - Weakness or tingling/burning in the arms or legs - Deteriorating conscious state - Severe or increasing headache - Unusual behavioural change - Loss of vision or double vision - Visible deformity of the skull - Loss of consciousness. - If you see these signs, seek emergency care."

Your AM Headlines + Are Election Promises Sending Us Broke?

HEADLINES: Among the tragic headlines from Nepal, one of the missing Australians has been found in Tibet. Pill testing will be rolled out at New South Wales music festivals from next month, following a year-long trial. A 16-year-old boy has told a Sydney court he planned to bomb the Sydney Opera House on the Sydney Marathon day in 2024, after being radicalised through extremist content on Tiktok. Phones, laptops and gaming consoles are about to get more expensive, and the AI boom is to blame. Scientists might have got something fundamental wrong about our universe, and a new NASA telescope just launched to find out. And if you've ever done the maths on what a child actually costs, this might make you jealous... Australia has just passed one trillion dollars in government debt, and combined state, territory and federal debt is set to hit two trillion by the end of the decade. On this episode of The Quicky, we ask why nobody seems worried: from ballooning state budgets since COVID to the "free" election promises being made ahead of the Victorian and NSW polls. Experts from the Grattan Institute and the Centre for Independent Studies explain why debt feels abstract to voters, and why the bill always seems to land later.

Your AM Headlines + Are Australians Living Too Long?

HEADLINES: Australians may soon be able to force social media companies to destroy their personal information. The average annual total cost for a child to play in a community sport competition is growing. Australia is taking a first step towards better understanding motor neurone disease, in a move aimed at getting closer to a cure. A major push to tackle hundreds of thousands of potholes is underway, with one state turning prisoners for help. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly being put up by a famous friend as they settle back into life in the UK. Australia has one of the longest life expectancies in the world, but we also have the second-largest healthspan-lifespan gap globally, meaning the average person spends around 12 years sick before they die. On this episode of The Quicky, we look at why that's happening: a medical system so good at keeping people alive that doctors treat death as a failure to be intervened against, even in someone's final days. We hear from author Lucinda Holdforth (Going On and On) on the toll this is taking on informal carers - 85% of whom are women - many in the "sandwich generation" caring for ageing parents and young children at once. Plus, why voluntary assisted dying isn't the only answer, and how palliative care could offer more dignity at the end of life.
