Freddie and Kaspar take over Represent this week while Bridie and Nyah get cultural at Opera Australia’s Tosca which they give an overview of at the end of the show (SPOILER ALERT!). 

In political news, two elections to talk about on the show today: Rishi Sunak has called a general election for July 4 this year, and your latest update on the USA election in November.

And Kaspar brings us the latest on the University of Melbourne’s agreement to disclose its partnerships with weapons manufacturers after campus encampments and students occupying the Arts West Building.

This week, we also have two interviews!

Kaspar caught up with the University of Melbourne’s Student Union International President Richard Ha to talk about the Federal Budget’s announcement regarding University quotas for international students, the housing crisis, and student life for international students. 

And a few weeks ago Nyah, Bridie and Freddie chatted to Shorna Moore, social justice lawyer and advocate at the Melbourne City Mission, about the Home Time Campaign, which aims to fix the housing system in Australia for young people. For more information you can visit www.hometime.org.au.
