On this episode of The Informer, we investigate whether STI’s are becoming untreatable superbugs, after mainstream media reported a tsunami of bacteria on our doorstep as the gonorreas super-superbug has tripled in 6 months.

How concerned should we actually be?

We head to Redlands in Brisbane’s Bayside to find out about a new support group for LGBTIQ people that is having its first meeting this Thursday 22^nd February.

And we head to Tasmania on the weekend for the grand final of Dragnation, Australia’s national drag competition, that had drag king Rocco D’Amore become the first king to make it to the final and represent his state. We find out what it was like battling it out amongst a sea of drag queens.

This episode of The Informer was hosted by Ruby Susan on JOY 94,9
