I honestly do not understand how anyone expects to win the Presidency while treating politics like a content-creation project. You cannot be embarking on critical political assignments with content creators and individuals who have never built, won, led, or achieved anything of significance politically, and expect Nigerians to take...

The Circle (2000, Panahi)/ Iran "Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date." --- Jafar Panahi Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: The subject matter of 'The Circle' (2000) is controversial. You mentioned that the film is still banned in Iran. In fact, when I was watching the film, I realized that through the characters, there’s a lot of fear about the system, the establishment, the police. The women can’t smoke; they have to wear the chador; they seem to want to hide every time. This is all very clear from watching the film. Did you deliberately want to make a statement about the political situation in Iran? Panahi: I have to tell you again that I’m not a political person. I don’t like political movies. But I take every opportunity to comment on the social issues. I talk about the current issues. To me it’s not important what is the reason for what has happened. Whether it’s political reasons or geographical reasons: these are not important—but the condition, the social issues. It is important to me to talk about the plight of humanity at that time. I don’t want to give a political view, or start a political war. I think that the artist should rise above this. Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date. So it doesn’t really serve a political purpose. Then it can be everlasting, for always, and it could be for anywhere. But I know that politically, with the film authorities, with any kind of film that has some political background in it, they would take issue with it. And for this reason, that is what the problem is. Interviewer: Still, your film makes a very strong statement about the problems that women face in Iran. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. Interviewer: So that is humanitarian, of course, but it’s also political. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. It has the elements. It all depends on how you look at it. If a person has only political views, then he will only see the political. But if you are a poet or an artist, then you see other things as well in the movie. If you are a socialist, you see political or economic or whatever different points of view. You mustn’t look at a film with only one point of view. If you want to see 'The Circle' (2000) as political, then it is one of the most political movies in Iran. By political, I mean partisan politics. But even the police, I didn’t want to show them as bad. In the first instance, you are afraid of the police. Because you are looking at them from the point of view of someone who is now in prison. And normally you see him in a long shot, but when they come nearer and you see them in a medium shot, you can see their human faces. Then it comes down to, “Do you need any help?” But he goes back again and becomes frightening. If I were being political, then I would always show the police as dangerous or bad persons." (Jafar Panahi's interview with Stephen Teo, Senses of Cinema, 2001)

As many of you would know by now I did not regain my seat in the Senate. My final day as a Senator for Queensland is Monday, 30 June. While this is a disappointing outcome, it was still a very good result given the short lead time and lack of mainstream media attention that the Party and I received. The efforts of everyone involved in our campaign have been inspiring and have laid the groundwork for a genuine grassroots political movement. While it will take a lot of work, I think we owe it to our children to keep fighting the prevailing political forces. We have been badly let down by our institutions and change is only going to come from the ground up. Over the next six months, I will set up state divisions and branches to grow the membership of People First with a view to running candidates again in the next federal election and State elections where resources permit. We already have over 2,000 members and aim to have more than 5,000 members by the start of 2028. People First has the best policies and, more importantly, the know-how to solve Australia’s problems. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered and supported the party. I appreciate your efforts and look forward to continuing the fight over the next three years. Congratulations to everyone who ran as a candidate in the election. Regardless of your political views, our democracy is only as good as the level of participation in it. If you would like to be part of the fight going forward you can join the party, donate, or register to volunteer at

What a foolish response. Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was a giant of the liberation struggle. Thabo Mbeki was a key figure in the ANC in exile, working closely with O.R. Tambo. Max Sisulu and Lindiwe Sisulu were activists in their own right, with their own political records and contributions. Trying to compare that with Jacob Zuma appointing his son Duduzane as Deputy President of the MK Party is absurd. The MK Party is not being run like a democratic political movement; it is being run like a family business, and that is what it is. The party has become a vehicle for Jacob Zuma to pursue personal vendettas, protect his financial interests and fight his perceived enemies. His son has no comparable political credentials and is linked to the Gupta network where he was a director. The Guptas are synonymous with the looting of South Africa’s public resources during the state capture era. To equate Duduzane’s appointment with the achievements and sacrifices of people like Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and Thabo Mbeki is not just historically inaccurate and an insult; it is intellectually dishonest. It is an insult to South Africa’s liberation history. What Jacob Zuma is doing is exactly the kind of behaviour that those who oppose democracy point to when they argue that democracy does not work in Africa. They use examples like this to claim that elections simply replace one form of patronage with another. There is a reason why this looks so familiar. In Equatorial Guinea, President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo appointed his son, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue who is widely known as Teodorín, as Vice President while he remained President. It became a textbook example of dynastic politics masquerading as democracy. That is what the MK Party is increasingly beginning to resemble. Political parties are supposed to serve the people, not families. Leadership positions should be earned through merit, experience and democratic processes, not inherited through bloodlines. MK supporters are free to defend this decision if they wish, but trying to justify blatant nepotism only weakens their argument. You cannot claim to be fighting for democracy while applauding the concentration of power within one family. That is not democratic renewal. It is dynastic politics dressed up as a political movement.
