In the second part of this bonus series for Patreon subscribers, Tom takes Emerald through chapter one 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.” Who was the first green party? What is the connection between Bob Brown and the death of Jimi Hendrix? Why are greenies always named Brown? Will this have to become a true crime podcast after a MURDER!? Also, some colourful commentary about former senator Brian Harradine that frankly no one better show news.com.au.
