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...

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.

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

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.

Kongen er død! Long live the King!

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.
