Represent

This episode of Represent National is a big one!

History-making City of Maribyrnong Mayor Mohamed Semra joins the team for part one of an interview about leadership, local government, being elected as an independent, representing your communities and making tough decisions you can live with. Mohamed came to Australia as a refugee from Sudan as a child and was elected Mayor at just 27 years old, and talks us through his fresh perspectives on local politics. 

And a new (Re)presenter has entered the ring: 
Fatima comes aboard to make this the biggest and best Represent National team yet. 

We also chat about the government's most recent Intergenerational Report, looking at the state of ageing, birth rates, housing and affordability, with one key question in mind: are young people doomed?!

Finally, we chat about the federal opposition's education policy announcements, which include encouraging ex-defence force members to become teachers to crack down on discipline and behavioural issues in schools... interesting.

18th BRICS Summit

Marches against GBVF in South Africa

Russian Legislative Elections

The 18th BRICS summit was held in New Delhi, India and again has raised questions about the balance of geopolitical powers. Is BRICS the G7 of the Global South? Is it just an symptom of an increasingly multi-polar world?

Women in South-Africa have taken to the streets to rally against gender-based violence and fe micide (GBVF) after the bodies of nine women were found in Johannesburg over the past two months. GBVF was declared a national disaster in South Africa just under a year ago but how much has changed since? And should Australia also declare a similar disaster?

And you may not have heard but legislative elections were held in Russia over the weekend. You probably didn't hear about it because it went exactly as you think it did. Sometimes no news is bad news.
