Episode notes

Bill “would you prefer we do nothing!?!” Shorten is back at it. Emerald is joined by guest co-host Jordon Steele-John, Greens senator for Western Australia. First up they discuss the dangerous new cuts to the NDIS (8:25). Then the government and the ABC join forces to attack the union movement and the Greens in response to CFMEU corruption allegations (29:39). Do you think that potential Green voters will warm to the image of Max Chandler-Mather giving full-throated support to a militant union that has enabled the infiltration of organised crime into its business? (Try saying that 3 times fast, aka doing a Sarah Ferguson on 7.30 impression.) Finally, a call to action (1:03:39).
