Listen to Claire's full interview with Esther Perel here. Divorce rates reportedly spiked in the wake of the global pandemic, many relationships struggling the extended time locked up together without the ability to take some time away from one another.

Aussies have re-embraced travel with gusto since international borders reopened at the end of last year and Covid rules have been slowly eased over time. We are flying, cruising, touring, relaxing, adventuring and doing all the things we put off for those two locked down years.

It’s a right of passage for every young girl. The moment you get those first drops of blood and hopefully someone in your circle, or reading the right things on the internet, tells you about all the things you can use to keep your period leaking and ruining your outfit. It can be a time of pride, of shame, of worry and a sense of achievement. Now, the age at which puberty is hitting girls across t...

Elon Musk is now the proud owner of Twitter. Known as the social media platform for journalists, politicians and heads of business, it can also be the place where radical conspiracy theories and ideologies are shared. Musk, who is one of the world’s richest people, who has a long track record of dubious posts on the platform himself, says he wants it to be “a digital town square where matters vita...

Australia is a rich country with access to healthcare and nutritious foods in a climate envied by others.  But recent data shows 50% of Australians are living with a long term illness.

Cassius Turvey was just 15-years-old when he was allegedly beaten with a metal pole as he walked home from school last month.  As he lay dying in hospital, police would say things that would be interpreted as being offhand, refusing to confirm whether racism was a factor in the crime. Newspapers would barely delve into the incident, while the family of a young boy whose life was slowly leaving his...

Kanye West has said some pretty awful things about the Jewish community of late. He has accused them of controlling business, of controlling people in his industry including himself, he has threatened them, and said he will no longer stand for their influence… and it has set off groups of like-minded individuals who have taken their suspicions of Jewish people to the streets. But where does this h...

Last week there was a lot of conversations around the Diamonds, the Aussie netball team, who pushed back on a sponsorship deal that would see them wear the logo of a company that had a complicated and racist history with Indigenous Australians.  While the outcome saw the diamonds lose $15 million and possibly more, questions were raised about the intersection of sport and politics, about whether a...

With missing disgraced financier Melissa Caddick's multi-million dollar mansion up for sale, there are those who would wish to buy it as a bonafide investment but there are others who would want it for the honour of owning a property where the 49 year old was last seen alive.

Rain, rain go away, come again another day. It's the creepy children's rhyme that has crossed the minds of many an Australian in recent times as La Ninà continues to dominate weather patterns across the country.
