    German far right party wants to stop teaching WW2, I wonder why...

    Germany's far-right AfD (Alternative for Germany) has won a landslide election in the Saxony-Anhalt state election coming just short of forming government. If they do manage to form government, it will be the first time a far-right party governs a German state since... uhh... you know,,, the Nazis. And who said history doesn't repeat itself? Back home, Australia is being accused of foreign interference after texts were leaked between them and Solomon Islands leadership about a new treaty.

    'Anti-boy' ideology?! Giant power poles in the West?!

    This week on Represent National, Ashley, Benita and Zoe talk about the Liberal and National Parties' leaders comments about 'anti-boy' ideology being taught in schools (???) and Respectful Relationships education.  They also look at huge, high-voltage concrete power poles that have popped up in Melbourne's inner west to power data centres, which locals say they were not consulted over nor warned about. The team discusses issues around data centre location, whether Labor is neglecting the West as 'safe seats', and a whole lot of avoiding accountability.  Finally, the team has a chat about the government's proposed social media algorithm 'opt-out' measures, and how aggressive algorithm targeting has changed the user experience.  Represent is a Syn Media podcast.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Kongen er død! Long live the King!

    No way, Norway has royal family? And the king is dead? And his family's kind of weird? And the monarchy is desperately trying maintain relevance in the modern world? Oh, so a tale as old as time. Pacific leaders try to get literally any work done in Palau while external forces keep getting in the way. And New York makes their attempt at answering the whole AI in schools thing.

    Pamela Anderson on Represent National!

    This week on Represent National, Ashley, Benita and Zoe sat down with Pamela Anderson, the CEO of EMILYs List Australia, to talk about women in politics, reproductive rights, the Liberal Party's glaring gender issue and whether the Labor Party is a viable avenue for progressive politics anymore.  We also talked about the federal Labor government teaming up with the LNP to pass changes (see: cuts) to the National Disability Insurance Scheme, despite advocates, participants, experts and even the Australian Human Rights Commission urging the government to withdraw the bill.  Finally, we discussed Pauline Hanson's appearance at the Farmers Fightback rally in the Wimmera region of Victoria, and the strategic benefits of winning over farmers and rural Victorians ahead of the state election.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Oh Canada!

    Notoriously polite Canada has said "no more Mr Nice Guy" by firing back at the US with retaliatory tariffs in a heated trade war. Should Ukraine hold a wartime presidential election? Well, sacked defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov seems to think so. And no, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that he's ranking #3 in the election polls. The Canadian province of Alberta might soon take their oil rich land and run, as the referendum approaches which is predicted to ignite debate about their independence from Canada.             See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Free dental clinics in Victoria?!

    Is it too good to be true?!  In this week's Represent National show, Ashley, Benita and Nayan take a look at the Victorian Government's election promise to create 10 free dental clinics in Victoria, and relive the dental woes of Christmas past.  The team also looks at shocking revelations from a Four Corners investigation reporting thousands of older Australians have died while waiting for aged care funding - who would've thought putting the computers in charge of life-changing care funding could be a bad idea?! And according to the state Auditor-General’s Office, the Victorian Government hiked public transport fares from last year to fund part of the Suburban Rail Loop, and didn't let the public know! Fun!

    Can Eurovision's war ban achieve world peace?

    Eurovision won't let winning countries involved in active armed conflict host the competition in another move from the famously political singing competition that is strictly apolitical. Presumably preparing for the possibility that they enter and win one day, South Korea is calling for a new push to formally end the Korean War. Because we all know if they were ever allowed to compete in Eurovision, South Korea would absolutely SWEEP. And in their strongest worded letter so far, Australia expressed outrage at the IDF’s announcement they would not pursue criminal investigations into the strikes that killed seven humanitarian aid workers including Australian citizen, Zomi Frankcom.

    Is One Nation really the “gayest” party? Should we ditch the monarchy? Will food delivery drivers receive fair wages?

    This week on Represent National, we're tackling some big questions, starting with whether we should abandon the British monarchy and become a republic or not. Australia voted against ditching the Mountbatten-Windsors in 1999, and now it's dividing the Represent team in 2026.   We also talk about One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce proclaiming his party to be "one of the gayest" in Australia, after a former One Nation candidate described being gay as a "mental illness". What is One Nation's stance on homophobia, or really, on anything? We're not so sure they know.  Finally, we look at new national minimum standards for food delivery drivers, meaning they will have to be paid at least $31.30 per hour for "engaged time". But what does that mean exactly, and can we expect prices to go up for consumers? All that and more in this episode.  Represent is a Syn Media podcast.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
