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)

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

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.

Can Eurovision's war ban achieve world peace?

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.

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

The former president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, has been sentenced to death in absentia while he reportedly lives a life of luxury in Russia.
