On Monday night, ABC’s Q&A was all about loneliness. And it got us thinking... why, in a world where we’ve never been more connected, do so many of us feel so alone?

Plus, Zac Efron allegedly has a new girlfriend who he met in Byron Bay. But Holly is calling it and saying it’s not going to work. So can celebrities ever successfully date us normal people? 

And, are people in their twenties trapped by COVID-19?

The Year Of Loneliness

Subscribe to Mamamia

Already, 26 Australian women have been killed this year by men close to them. And while our Federal Government plans to “end gender-based violence in one generation”, we have decided enough is enough. 

Mia is back for round two, to debate whether Arj Barker should have kicked a breastfeeding mother out of his comedy show. But now that we've heard from both sides (a lot... maybe too much), has Jessie changed her stance?

And, why Elon Musk has started beef with Australian politician Jacqui Lambie? We explain and let's be honest... this was certainly not on our 2024 bingo card!

The End Bits:

It might be Monday... but everyone is still talking about Taylor Swift's new double album The Tortured Poets Department. But is it time for Taylor to stop being petty to those who've crossed her? We can't agree. 

Plus, a debate about pepper spray and whether or not laws should be changed to better arm women against male violence. It’s complicated. 

And, Victoria Beckham is a big birthday girlie. She's just celebrated the big five zero, but the way she’s celebrating delivers a universal truth about women and milestone birthdays and we have thoughts. 

The End Bits: 
Listen to the latest episode: Mia Re-thinks Her Relationship With Social Media
Read: Kim Kardashian is seemingly slammed in Taylor Swift's new album. Their fight escalated well before this.
Read: A Melbourne mum took her baby to Arj Barker's show when he asked her to leave.
