I think I’m going to make ‘two truths and a lie’ a new Friday tradition! Here are three headlines from the past week. Two are real, one is fake. It’s up to you to guess which one!

The answer is in the tidbit.

The quote
"The randomisation starts once the on-sale commences, so there is no advantage for fans to jump on hours before." – A spokesperson for Ticketek’s parent company TEG. The general sale for Taylor Swift’s Australian shows is on today.

The stat
0.7%
The amount that retail turnover increased in May in Australia, according to the latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The ABS says the figures reflect "resilience in spending with consumers taking advantage of larger than usual promotional activity and sales events for May."

Today in history
2005: The Spanish Parliament voted to legalise gay marriage.

Some headlines from this morning:

People who are under 18 and are suffering from a terminal illness could be given the right to end their life under a new proposal included in an ACT Government paper on Thursday.

Voluntary assisted dying (VAD) allows eligible people with terminal illnesses to choose the time and manner of their death.

The ACT Government paper said an assisted dying age restriction is seen as "arbitrary" to some, and ignored the maturity and decision-making capacity of some teenagers.

The context:
The ACT plans to legalise VAD and is currently in the process of drafting laws to do this.

On Thursday, it released a paper compiling public views, which will be used to inform the drafting of the legislation.

How would it work?
The report suggested a pre-existing legal test that determines a young person's ability to consent to medical treatment.

This testing would be applied on a case-by-case basis, allowing the patient to demonstrate if they have a sufficient understanding of assisted dying and its consequences.

What’s next?
The Labor-Greens Government will now develop a framework for VAD, and will introduce draft laws to legalise the process later this year.

It won't become legal the moment laws are passed – further safeguards and systems will need to be established before eligible patients can begin the process.

The Government has a majority of seats in the one house of Parliament, and won't need any additional support for the legislation to pass.

The NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) declared former Premier Gladys Berejiklian had committed "serious corrupt conduct" on Thursday.

However, ICAC didn't believe any of Berejiklian's conduct warranted criminal charges.

How can something be corruption but not a crime? Here's a closer look.

First, the findings:
ICAC made findings of corrupt conduct against both Berejiklian and her former partner, ex-Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire.

The findings against Maguire were numerous and severe. ICAC found he repeatedly tried to 'exploit' his position as an MP to benefit himself and his associates. It also found he deliberately concealed his actions because he knew they were improper.

Berejiklian is not accused of seeking financial gain for herself or Maguire. She is, however, accused of two types of "serious" corruption.

The first is failing to report Maguire to authorities despite having an "actual suspicion" he was acting corruptly.

The second is failing to declare her relationship with him when, as Premier and Treasurer, she advocated for funding proposals in Maguire's electorate. ICAC considered the relationship one of "mutual and deep feelings of love", meaning there was a conflict of interest for Berejiklian.

The former Premier has rejected both accusations.

ICAC and crimes:
ICAC is not a court. It can't find someone guilty of a crime, nor can it lay charges on its own.

However, if it believes a crime may have occurred, it can refer the matter to the NSW Department of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to decide whether to investigate.

No Berejiklian crime:
As part of its investigation, ICAC deliberated over whether to refer Berejiklian to the DPP for the possible criminal offence of 'misconduct in public office'.

Lawyers assisting ICAC argued there may be some evidence in favour of this, but that prosecuting Berejiklian would be difficult in practice and the DPP was unlikely to do so if asked.

ICAC agreed and also felt Berejiklian's actions were not serious enough to meet the higher bar for criminality, so chose not to refer.

Non-criminal corruption:
The ability to make findings of corruption without criminality is a common feature of state and territory anti-corruption bodies.

It is also a feature of the new national anti-corruption commission. On its website, the Attorney-General's Department explains this is because officials are given power by the public "on trust", and it is in the public interest to know if this trust is abused even if no crime has been committed.

Often, anti-corruption bodies use examples of non-criminal corruption to recommend changes that make future corruption less likely.

For example, ICAC yesterday recommended changes to the Code of Conduct for ministers to clarify how they should manage conflicts of interest.

This is true.

Lance Armstrong, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France victories after it was found he had used performance-enhancing drugs, wants to have a conversation about fairness in sport. Specifically, he wants to talk about transgender athletes in sport.

On a recent episode of ‘The Forward with Lance Armstrong’, he spoke with Caitlyn Jenner about “the effects transgender athletes competing in women’s sport has on women’s sport”.

In a video about the podcast on his social media, Armstrong said: “With sensitive conversations and topics like this, people tend to… [be] really afraid to be fired, shamed or cancelled. It turns out I’m not that afraid of that.”

This is also true.

Researchers from the University College London and the University of the Republic in Uruguay examined 35,000 people and found there could be an association between those who indulge in a lil’ daytime napping and larger brain volume.

Those participants who nap regularly were found to have brains that were 15 cubic centimetres larger, which is believed to be the equivalent to delaying ageing by between three and six years.

This is false. But I was thinking about this the other day.
