When Kathleen Folbigg was jailed in 2003 John Howard was the Prime Minister, MySpace was emerging as a new social network and iPhone's were still four years away from launching.

Walked out of jail just over two weeks ago, she faced a world full of unfamiliar things. 

On her first night of freedom, she ate pizza and drank something that was popular when she went to jail: Kahlua and Coke. But now that the rush of being free has subsided and the reality of life on the outside kicks in, what will life be like? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a man who also spent time behind bars for a crime he didn't commit, and find out what life after prison is really like.

What Now For Kathleen Folbigg? Advice From A Former Inmate

It is fashion’s biggest night of the year, but the Met Gala is much more than just a parade of celebrities on a red carpet.

As we prepare for the 2026 event, we explore why this exclusive party is actually a vital fundraiser that bankrolls fashion as an art form. We dive into this year’s conceptual theme, and the dress code that's expected to ditch 'pretty dresses' for sculptural, gallery-level installations.

Plus, we look at the power players making headlines this year; with Beyoncé returning to co-chair for the first time in a decade, and Jeff Bezos’ controversial sponsorship causing a stir, the guest list is as much about cultural tension as it is about couture.

Friends urge Harry Styles to get a prenup
Hearings delving into anti-semitism in Australia begin today
Trump says he's unlikely to accept a new Iranian peace deal because "The Iranians had not yet paid a big enough price"
Aussie Sam Kerr is now Chelsea's all time leading goal scorer after slotting her 64th
The Academy has brought in new rules that blocks AI from ever winning an Oscar
