Can we use Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War to guide us on US-China relations? Man who knows, whatever.

Anyway, we also had the privilege of talking to Andrew Bretherton the convenor for Accessible Victorian Greens and a member of Disability Rights & Culture on his experience with the imposed bureaucracy of being a disabled person and what the NDIS cuts actually mean.

Interview with Andrew Bretherton

The history book on the shelf... is always repeating itseeeeeelf, WATERL- oh, not that kind of Waterloo?

Ohhhhh the Waterloo Renewal Project, the one in inner Sydney. The one that's turning 750 public homes to 3,300 private, social and affordable homes. That one. Not the hit ABBA song that was Sweden's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974. Right.

Also, Keir Starmer resigned. And who said Brexit was a bad idea??????

Oh, would you look at that? Pauline Hanson said something bonkers on the national stage, again. Listen to Dana and Bernie dissect her most recent tirade while discussing her newfound popularity.

Finally, Dana takes a detour to the FIFA Men's World Cup and explores why authoritarian governments are always so keen to engage in global sports.

Monoculture??? I barely even know her!!

This week Represent speaks with one of the youngest women ever elected to the Victorian Parliament, Animal Justice Party MP Georgie Purcell, about why voters should care about animal justice issues, sexism in parliament, and the political legacy she hopes to leave behind.

Zoe takes us through very controversial ginormous data centres planned for Melbourne's western suburbs and our ever-increasing, insatiable demand for AI and digital services. 

Patty explains how a Somali FIFA referee was denied entry to the US ahead of the 2026 World Cup in North America, with the Trump administration claiming he posed a 'security threat' (riiight...).
