This week, China's October Golden Week kickstarts Q4 of 2024 and the path toward South East Asia completing a 5-year Covid cycle. So, it's the perfect time to assess the top 8 talking points from the 9th month of the year. We begin in Thailand with the issues around the proposed introduction of Electronic Travel Authorisation, while Royal Assent for the Marriage Equality Bill makes it the third Asian jurisdiction to legalise same-sex unions. Elsewhere, AirAsia grabbed headlines throughout September and Singapore scored another F1 win. Plus, a new VAT refund scheme for tourists in the Philippines and a possible hotel construction moratorium in Bali. And finally, a Singaporean university is attempting to balance the inconveniences and benefits of a surge in tourist visitors. 

This week, Thailand confirmed it IS targeting 40 million arrivals in 2024. Achieving this goal would set an annual record for Thailand and - crucially - surpass the 39.9 million visitors in 2019. It would be a stellar achievement. So, it's the perfect time to assess the year so far in Thai tourism - and look ahead - with Bangkok-based travel journalist Vincent Vichit-Vadakan. We discuss Thailand's visa liberalisation measures in recent months, and its highly anticipated Soft Power Conference later in June - which will present a diverse vision of Thailand's future, including tourism, culture, arts, cuisine, music, fashion and festivals among its 11 soft power pillars. Plus, we chat about new hotel and resort developments, the influence of TV series and movies filmed across Thailand and last-minute flight prices. And, we look ahead to the Marriage Equality Bill being enshrined into law and its potential impact on tourism. Travelling beyond Thailand, we delve into EV tours in Laos, multigenerational travel from India and a major upcoming tourism development in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo.

On Thursday Greece finally approved a landmark marriage equality bill, becoming the first majority Orthodox Christian country to take such a step. This is a watershed moment for the country's LGBTQ community, but, as Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis put it, is also a milestone for human rights. Nikos Efstathiou, an Athens based journalist and author who has reported extensively on this issue, joins Thanos Davelis to look at this historic moment for Greece, and the ripple effects it is having beyond the country's borders.Read Nikos Efstathiou's latest piece for Kathimerini here: Marriage equality bill has ripple effects outside GreeceYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greece Becomes First Orthodox Country to Legalize Same-Sex MarriageMitsotakis calls for streamlining Europe's defense industryJournalists in Turkey Welcome Ruling Restoring Online Access to Banned News Articles

As Greece's government looks set to get marriage equality legislation over the finish line, the bill itself has managed to rattle Greece's political system - particularly within New Democracy, Greece's ruling party. Given dissent within New Democracy over the bill, the government will need to look across the aisle to pass it. Nikos Efstathiou, an Athens based journalist and author, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss this bill, look at how it's impacting Greece's political scene, and touch on the broader public debate around the issue of marriage equality - including hate speech on social media platforms. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Government to bring forward bill on marriage equalitySame-sex marriage spices up Greece's political sceneTiptoeing into same-sex marriageGreek students protest government plan for private universitiesHellenic Caucus leaders call on US president to commemorate 50th anniversary of Cyprus invasionRead the letter Hellenic Caucus leaders sent to President Biden

CPAC released its 52nd Congressional Ratings Scorecard on Monday, and Thomas Bradbury, Director of Advocacy and Policy, joins Matt and Mercedes Schlapp on this episode of America Uncanceled to discuss the results of the ratings. The primary finding of the ratings was the divide between establishment Republicans and conservatives in Congress. The divide comes through in the voting records of Republican Congressmen that the ratings analyze. The ratings looked at issues like gun control, the Marriage Equality Bill, and the budget proposed by Nancy Pelosi in a lame duck session and found a shocking number of Republicans, led largely by Mitch McConnell, Adam Kissinger, and Liz Chaney, who voted in favor. “When you start looking at the ratings, there's, sure, a really good group of strong conservatives getting in the 90s, but there's really a lot that leave you wanting more. There's a lot in the 50s and then, as Matt said, it seems like it used to be, even five years ago, that you'd have some Democrats in the 40s and the 50s, but the people in the 40s and 50s are within our own party,” Bradbury observed. The disunity of the Republican Party is disheartening for conservative Americans as they watch the Democrats unite and vote in lockstep to advance their agenda. That's not to say that the Democrat Party does not have its differences, but when necessary they all fall in line behind the issue at hand. Republicans have yet to master this strategy, but Americans can be optimistic thanks to the growing number of steadfast conservative leaders, like Jim Jordan, in Congress.

It's Casual Friday! Sam hosts Ben Dixon of The Benjamin Dixon Show to round up the week in news. Then he is joined by Matthew Film Guy! First, Sam runs through updates on the DOJ's appeal on Trump's Special Master ruling, more investigations into the Save America PAC and Steve Bannon's fraud charges, the DNC's love for Dark Money, Gorsuch's statement on a public report surrounding the Dobbs leak, and the beautiful reactions to the Queen's death, ranging from indifferent to ecstatic. Ben Dixon then joins as he and Sam walk through a recent viral clip of his juxtaposition of viral Black pastors and hardcore Christian nationalists, exploring how the Christian right has colonized Christ and gentrified Jesus on the stage of national discourse. Next, they take on the state of the strain of White Supremacist Christianity that has overtaken the US after a few decades in hiding, pitching dominionist theology with crackdowns on queer folks and an uplifting of White idols, from Trump to MTG, and ingraining themselves in all factions of the GOP. Dixon then explores why these White Supremacists don't get more pushback from their religious communities, diving into the organizing Ben has done in the south, from allowing congregations to dictate the politics of their pastors to the preoccupation of Black pastors with a full-on conservative assault on their communities. After a brief conversation on how this fundamentalist sect slipped under the radar from the mid-2000s up until the emergence of Donald Trump, they dive deeper into the state of the GOP's agenda as an appeal to this Christian dominionism, touching on the Oathkeepers leak, January 6th, and the Right's full-scale attack on government. And in the Fun Half: Matthew Film Guy joins Sam as he discusses the Brittany Snow movie that has become his recent passion project, his appearance on little-known podcast WTF, and his Sam-backed recommendations of Joachim Trier's “The Worst Person in the World” and Bo Burham's “Eighth Grade.” Sam also dives into Ron Johnson's frantic escape from a vote on the upcoming Marriage Equality Bill, Greg Gutfeld talks about his need for attractive male specimens in a political base, and Alabama's imprisonment of pregnant folks.

National MP Nick Smith has apologised to the LGBTQI+ community in his valedictory speech at Parliament this evening. He's bowing out after 31 years as an MP. In his speech, Nick Smith said he was wrong when he voted against the Marriage Equality Bill. There were lighter moments too. Nick Smith joked that the worst thing ever inflicted on him was when the speaker tried to be kind while on tour in Turkey. He also looked back at his time as Conservation Minister. He says making Poor Knights Island a no-take marine reserve in 1998 was pretty controversial at the time. He even needed a police escort because he had received a death threat. Jim Bolger, Jenny Shipley, Maggie Barry and Nicky Wagner were among those who came to farewell Dr Smith.
