19.01.2022 The growing rates of femicide across the world have been referred to as the"pandemic within a pandemic'. Isolation measures have exacerbated the prevalence of femicide globally and have brought the issue to the front pages of many mainstream media publications after rising tides of women killings. Even given the greater media coverage, the issue is still a dark stain on the global community and demonstrates there is a long way to go until equality is achieved.

17.01.2022 With all the chaos that COVID-19 has brought upon Victorians, it is no surprise that many other big political events have been lost to followup by the media. One such event is the proposed entry of Victoria into the Chinese Belt and Road initiative. This controversial decision by Premier Daniel Andrews goes against the foreign policy of the Federal Government and even the Federal labor party. So what is the issue with Andrews proposing the agreement with China? Join PIVOT as ...well take a look at what Belt and Road could mean for Victoria and Australia as a whole.

12.01.2022 Disney's Mulan remake was supposed to follow the success of its other live-action remakes.

02.01.2022 When it comes to being in the middle, Australia is an expert. A western nation geographically located near the eastern Asian nations. It's a recipe for some tense political maneuvering, keeping our biggest trade partner, China, happy and placating one of our closest political allies the USA. Australia has many bilateral meetings with both states in an attempt to keep things balanced, yet this year at the AUSMIN, the US and Australia bilateral talks, China became target number 1. Join PIVOT as we provide an overview of what transpired at AUSMIN and how this will direct our foreign policy in the future. Read more at: https://pivot.mias.org.au/2020/09/12/ausmin-2020/

01.01.2022 Climate change has morphed into an abstract ideological issue, seemingly disconnected from everyday life. Sir David Attenborough’s biopic: A Life On Our Planet bridges the chasm between climate change as a concept and climate change as an everyday reality. Opening with the deserted Chernobyl, Attenborough draws a fitting parallel between the bad planning and human error of 1986 and the continuing human error of 2020.
