First Ever Saliva Pregnancy Test & The Science Behind Your "Hangxiety"

As "silly season" begins, we unpack the dreaded next-day hangxiety... you know, the emotional aftershock of regret, self-doubt, and shame that crashes harder for some than others.

We explain the science, who gets hit the hardest and, maybe most importantly, how to cope with it.

And in headlines today, Labor will spend this last sitting week of parliament attempting to push through environmental reforms but Environment Minister Murray Watts says the coalition's internal issues are making it tough; The days of peeing on a stick to find out if you’re expecting may be over with the introduction of the first ever saliva test for pregnancy; 50 school students who were abducted last week in Nigeria have managed to escape leaving 253 children and 12 teachers still held hostage; Pressure is increasing for the former prince Andrew to give evidence to a US congressional committee investigating the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein; Officials from Europe, the United States and Ukraine are gathering in Geneva to discuss a draft plan presented by Washington to end the Ukraine war; Just a year after part one brought droves of audiences to movie theatres around the world, even more people bought opening weekend tickets to see the epic conclusion to the Wicked movies, Wicked: For Good
