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...

The high schooler running in the Victorian election, changes to Victorian voting laws, and the National Census

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.

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.

Notoriously polite Canada has said "no more Mr Nice Guy" by firing back at the US with retaliatory tariffs in a heated trade war.

Should Ukraine hold a wartime presidential election? Well, sacked defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov seems to think so. And no, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that he's ranking #3 in the election polls.

The Canadian province of Alberta might soon take their oil rich land and run, as the referendum approaches which is predicted to ignite debate about their independence from Canada.
