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.

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

Former US public policy advisor and combat veteran Christopher Rivers is uniquely qualified to give his take on the rhetoric (or lack thereof) around the death penalty shemozzle and how it might or might not affect the upcoming US midterms.

Also the kids are NOT okay in Europe and they are making sure their governments know it.

Military firing squad execution barely enough to give Americans pause | International

This week on Represent National, Benita, Fatima and Nayan look at the alleged attack on independent MP for Indi outside her electorate office in Wangaratta. The team discusses calls from public figures like the Prime Minister to 'turn down the temperature' politically, or whether this conversation should centre on gendered violence. 

The Victorian Labor Party has also promised to increase access to abortions if re-elected in the November state election, including covering out-of-pocket costs for pregnancies under 16 weeks. But why wait to lock this behind an election outcome? Why not legislate it sooner? Hmm...

Finally, Nayan walks us through the federal government's plans to sell off Defence properties across Australia, at an expected profit of close to $2 billion. As ever in Australian politics, these moves beg the age-old question: is our government prioritising short-term and ignoring long-term costs?
