This week on Represent National, Zoe and Ashley hold down on the fort while Nayan is trapped in a lift. 

Ashley takes us through who the federal Greens' new leader David Shoebridge is, and his approach to leading the party so far. We discuss The Greens' political tactics, whether Shoebridge is a good pick for the leadership, the party's media coverage (or lack thereof) and their prospects for the upcoming Victorian election.

Zoe then walks us through how exactly voting in the Victorian election works, with voting rules in the upper house changing this year following the recent abolishment of the 'group voting' system. We then have a chat about why Victorian Labor is waiting until just a month before the election to announce their upper house candidates (hint: in-fighting, desperation and factional deals have a lot to do with it). 

Will you vote above or below the line on your upper house ballot? Will Nayan make it out of the lift in time to join the show? You'll have an answer to at least one of these questions after listening!

Who's this new Greens leader, and how does Victorian election voting work?

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?

Rifle-wielding cops on Sydney streets?!

People have been adapting The Odyssey longer than they've been writing it down.

To talk to us about the hold this story seems to have on us and its place in Western colonisation we were joined by Associate Professor Ika Willis, Head of School of Culture & Communication at the University of Melbourne.

We also finally reveal Represent International's true political leanings.

Pre-COP31 wrapped up in Fiji today and Gerard Anapu joined us fresh off his flight from Nadi to give us the low down on how things went down.

To celebrate the first Represent International episode with the whole gang in the studio, we decide to take a political personality quiz as a group to find out who Represent International really is in one of the most heated segments in Represent history.
