Would 16 year old you have been switched on enough to make an informed decision at the polling booth?

The greens are pushing to lower the voting age to 16 saying our democracy is stronger when more people are able to participate in decision making, but are we giving 16 year olds too much credit? are we armed with enough information and maturity to make that call at that age?

Today we listen to both sides of the argument for allowing 16 and 17 year olds make the choice on who runs the country.

PM: Social Media Concerns For Young Boys, Prince William Visits UK Spy Agency

TV doctor Michael Mosley went for a walk while holidaying in Greece recently, the region currently experiencing a heatwave, with temperatures in the high 30's and low 40's. 

Sadly, Dr Mosley did not return from that walk and his body was found days later. His death, reportedly due to the extreme heat. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the effects of heat on the human body and how we can avoid putting ourselves at risk.
