In this bonus series for Patreon subscribers, Emerald takes Tom through chapter 7 of author Paddy Manning’s epic history of the Australian Greens movement, “Inside The Greens: The Origins and Future of the Party, the People and the Politics.” In this instalment - the aftermath of the 2001 election, a Labor member exodus to the Greens after the Tampa scandal, Bob Brown makes a captain’s call on Telstra, and then 9/11 comes along and changes everything.
