In this episode of Represent National, Benita, Nayan and Zoe take a look at new questions in the National Census, including questions surveying LGBTQIA+ people. 

The team also discusses a Year 11 student running in the upcoming Victorian election in November, and whether there should be minimum (or even maximum!) age restrictions for running as a political candidate. 

Finally, we talk about brand new changes to Victorian voting laws abolishing 'group voting', under which you could vote for a new party called 'Free Palestine' and your preferences would flow to conservative right-wing parties without you knowing...

Interview with Christopher Rivers

Gen Z makes themselves heard across Europe

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, the whole team is back in the studio as Ashley walks us through the federal government's backflip on banning credit card payments to the tax office. Between that and the credit card surcharge ban, small business owners are reportedly not very happy campers. 

Benita then takes us up to New South Wales, where a new 'Armed Response Command' initiative will see police officers patrolling Sydney streets with long-arm rifles less than a year after the Bondi mass shooting that killed 15 people at a Hanukkah event. The Represent National team debates whether this will really increase public safety, or create fear and further endanger marginalised people. 

Finally, Fatima gives us the rundown on the eSafety Commissioner's plans to block the livestream of a United States execution by firing squad in Australia. Should our government block access to livestreams of executions in the US? Would we even be having this conversation if it weren't in the US?
