On January 12, Malaysia's king declared a state of emergency until August 1 in the wake of a spike in COVID-19 infections to a record 3000 new infections a day. However, many Malaysians suspect that this has little to do with addressing the pandemic and more to do with extending the life of the minority government under Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin. Green Left's Peter Boyle spoke to Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) Deputy Chairperson S. Arutchelvan (better known as Arul).

Green Left host Jacob Andrewartha sits down with long-time multimedia journalist and radio reporter Michael Fox to discuss politics in Brazil. The discussion focuses on far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, in particular his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and policy of environmental destruction, and the grassroots resistance to his government.

The Venezuelan national assembly elections on December 6 were significant for the dramatic win by the governing PSUV (United Socialist Party of Venezuela) with 69% of the vote compared to the 2015 elections which were won by the right wing opposition. Nevertheless there was an abstention rate around 70% which reflects some weaknesses for the socialist project in Venezuela. 

This interview with Fred Fuentes unpacks the issues around these elections.

Amin, a refugee who came to Australia under the medivac laws from Manus, spoke to Green Left from BITA (Brisbane Immigration Transit Accomodation). He believes he was moved from Kangaroo Point hotel because he was organising with other refugees to protest their inhumane conditions. Others who came in the same boat have been allowed to live in the community, some have married and most have got on with their lives. Why is Amin and refugees like him still being held in detention?
