    We May Not See Another Woman As PM In Our Lifetime

    It’s been 14 years since Julia Gillard was elected as Australia’s first female Prime Minister.

    And while many still look upon that milestone fondly, we have to wonder… how long until we see another woman in the top job?

    Let’s take a look at the current political lineup and ask political journalist Amy Remeikis how long she thinks we’ll be waiting.

    The 78'ers On The Night Sydney Mardi Gras Was Violently Born

    The 78'ers On The Night Sydney Mardi Gras Was Violently Born

    Have you heard of the 78’ers? They’re the group people who first marched through the streets of Sydney in celebration of the queer community.

    Unfortunately, not everyone was keen to partake in the partying, resulting in arrests, protests and violence.

    Almost 50 years on from the very first Sydney Gay & Lesbian Made Gras and where are we at? We ask some of those original 78’ers their thoughts on just how far we’ve come.

    The Paris Games Are 31 Days Away, Why Are Parisians Pooping In The River?

    The Paris Games Are 31 Days Away, Why Are Parisians Pooping In The River?

    With just over a month ’til the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, we’re been wondering… how do you even pull an event of that scale off?

    We asked the President of the 2032 Brisbane Games Organising Committee how he’s preparing for the world to head down under.

    Plus what happens when residents from a host nation aren’t happy with the games rollout? You might want to stick with bottled water during this episode.
