Represent

After cheating death for two weeks, Nyah makes her triumphant return to the Represent studio! After a brief(ish) catchup, we dive into the world of social media age restrictions, Liz Truss' visit to Australia (spoiler alert: nobody cares!) and how our leaders commemorated October 7 (spoiler alert: with crazy double standards!).

Bridie and Freddie (sans Nyah again) are back again with more news and a new playlist! While you won't get to hear the playlist (listen live for that!), you'll hear us talk about the evolving crisis in the Middle East, how bored we were with the Vice Presidential candidates' first (and probably only) debate, our frustration with the government's inaction on gambling advertising and our excitement over the ACCC taking the supermarket duopoly to court!

Mum (Nyah) is out sick so the children (Bridie and Freddie) come out to play after a week off! In this episode we cover the massive gas bill that comes with the Coalition's nuclear plan, contemplate morals and ethics in political donations, sponsorships and endorsements and see if we kept up over our week off with a quiz.

Represent is in their mouserat era (but you can't just put full songs in podcasts) in this episode covering the Kamala v Trump debate, Taylor Swift's endorsement, aged care reforms and the new social media minimum age laws!

Bridie, Freddie and Nyah are back to break down a decently quiet week of Australian Politics. Bridie fills us in on the drama engulfing the Jacqui Lambie Network. Nyah works overtime with two segments on a State vs Council spat and celebrating beginning of our Right to Disconnect. Also, we finally have the numbers on the controversial caps on international students and Freddie has them along with reactions from all sides of the issue.

Plus, we talk Hurstbridge's Wattle Festival, Veep, and a million other random things that have nothing to do with AusPol!

Bridie, Freddie and Nyah are back in the studio for your weekly dose of the week that was in politics!

On our roll call for this week:

Freddie fills in the class on the states vs Commonwealth spat over public school funding and the team discuss whether private schools deserve any taxpayer dollars.

Nyah talks about all the new NDIS reforms. Do you find them confusing? Don't worry, we do too. And governments seem to hate tackling it too. We talk about why.

While we weren't invited to Chicago for the Democratic National Convention, Bridie has been keeping track of it from afar so she can give us all the news from the windy city. Spoiler alert: they're having a great time over there!

Listen in for the latest on the UK and France's Elections (spoiler alert, Nyah's very excited about the hung parliament in France) and an update on the Presidential Debate.

(And of course a long discussion of our weekends!)

Bridie and Freddie are in the studio this week with your political news update (and three international elections!)

First up on the show, Fatima Payman’s resignation from the Labor Party and what the future could look like for her as an independent.

Next, the USA Election continues to progress with the Presidential Debate sparking discussions of Joe Biden’s fitness for leadership.

In Europe, France underwent the first round of their election and currently have three major parties in the running. Plus, Olympians are set to swim in the Seine in August, hence a series of investments to improve the water quality.

This week, Bridie, Freddie and Declan are in the studio to bring you the latest in politics.

The big news of the week takes us over to the USA after an assassination attempt on Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump. The team discuss where they were when the news broke and what this will mean for the continuation of Trump’s presidential campaign.

Also in the US, the Republican National Convention began this week and Trump announced his running mate.

Back in Australia, Bridie gives us the rundown on why the CFMEU has been in the news this week.
