This week on Represent National, we bring you the second half of our interview with Mohamed Semra, the 27-year-old Mayor of Maribyrnong City Council in Melbourne's inner west. In part two, we spoke to Mohamed about racism in politics, media representation of African communities, barriers to entry in leadership, and key areas of discussion in (and about) the City of Maribyrnong like data centres, social welfare, homelessness, land banking, and crime concerns. 

In her Represent National segment debut, Fatima takes us through OpenAI's hack on a Medicare database way back in June, which the company only told our government about in August via... a regular email to Medicare that got lost in the inbox, of course. How did this happen? Who should be held responsible? Are we ready for the threats AI poses to national security? All that and more in this segment.

Finally, Ashley takes a look at Prime Minister Anthony Albanese winning a United Nations Global Citizens award. But what on earth did he get this award for, exactly, why is he brushing shoulders with Wicked's Cynthia Erivo, and why aren't we hearing much about this in mainstream media? Listen in and find out, my friend.
