    Wait what language do they speak in New Zealand?

    English is now recognised as one of the official languages in New Zealand... for some reason. The only country in the world that has a president with Japanese heritage is in... Peru? And she's not even the first, it's a family business. The kids are not alright all over the world apparently because they can't stop cheating on their university entrance exams.

    Chekhov's Gun on an American Dinner Table

    We're an international show but is USA all day today, and not in a good way. Trump deigns to attend the White House Correspondents' Dinner and soft launches a 2028 campaign. There have been more mass shootings than says in the USA this year and almost all of them you've never heard about. People continue to die of starvation in Uganda without USAID intervention during a prolonged drought. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Laters, Jacinta Allan

    The Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has resigned, and who on earth is this new fella who's replaced her (see: stabbed her in the back, maybe)? On this episode of Represent National, Ashley, Benita, Nayan and Zoe unpack who Ben Carroll is, what happened in the Victorian Labor Party caucus meeting, and the drama of it all!  We also check back in on Victorian teachers' and school staff's ongoing union fight for better pay and conditions, including their most recent strike action last Thursday, and the implications of Australia's only manganese smelter in Tasmania going broke.  Represent is a Syn Media podcast.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Calculating the Cost of War, The People's Cockroach Party and Women in The Odyssey

    Oh, so now Donald Trump cares about air pollution? Go figure. A political party of cockroaches in India? And how Christopher Nolan portrays women in his The Odyssey (spoiler: about as well as you'd expect) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    'Ditch the witch' returns, the LNP is lost, and Pauline has a messy Euro summer

    In the second week of our new Represent National hour, Benita takes us through the return of the 'ditch the witch' billboard smearing Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan, and the state of gendered abuse in politics. Ashley looks at yet more challenges for the modern Liberal Party, including Moira Deeming being unendorsed as a Victorian upper house candidate, and a greater party identity crisis.  Nayan tells of One Nation senator Pauline Hanson's wild and wacky "fact-finding" Europe and UK tour,  where she gave a speech to a mostly empty room and bemoaned the end of the White Australia Policy on a far right activist's podcast.

    What's this? A new Represent National hour?!

    A new season at SYN spells big new things for Represent! This season, we're expanding, with a new national politics hour on Wednesdays from 4-5pm, and an international hour on Thursdays from 5-6pm. We're giving the people what they want - more politics on the SYN airwaves! In this first ever national hour, we meet brand new presenters Ashley, Benita, and Nayan. Zoe takes a look at the Prime Minister's announcement of a national artificial intelligence strategy, and a new governmental Office of AI. The new team discusses whether Australia should aim to be leaders in AI, and if our government really can put its money where its mouth is and protect artists' rights from AI exploitation. Ashley walks us through the PM's strange comments on a podcast about Kylie Minogue, and other past public blunders from former Australian prime ministers. Remember when Tony Abbott chomped into a raw onion...? Benita takes a look at Victorian opposition leader Jess Wilson's out-of-touch cost of living advice: just buy your t-shirts from Target or Kmart!  Represent is a Syn Media podcast.
