In this bonus Patreon episode requested by a subscriber, Emerald speaks to Tammi Jonas from Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance about the movement for responsible farming and food production.

Emerald is joined again by Rachel Withers, the only good (adult) Aussie journalist! First up is the most important news story of the week - Midwinter Ball, Canberra’s bizarre formal for politicians and journalists. (2:30) Then it’s a recap of the UK election results. (13:08) What were the funniest moments, what does it mean for Australia, and why can’t Auspol Labor hack Ben Davison catch a W? Then it’s Fatima Payman’s resignation from Labor. (34:50) Was this all a Green scheme? Why are Labor being such racist scumbags? Why did sex-novelist weirdo backbencher Graham Perrett tell Adam Bandt to “go f— himself”? Finally, a call to action.

President Biden is not going to exploit, for political purposes, his opponent's youth and inexperience.

Is this a new dawn for TERF Island or is Sir Keir’s Labour just more of the same? What are the funniest things that have happened over the campaign? What are the chances for the Greens party?

A CEO Sleepout outside the Qantas lounge. Emerald and Tom look at the Opposition’s new definitely-real nuclear power policy (07:21). Are they noobs to be owned, or are they changing the public discourse? Then, there are many recent protests to condemn (40:10) - the office of federal MP for Macnamara, Josh Burns, was vandalised by anti-Israel protestors. “Vile” anti-cop graffiti was sprayed on Vic Trades Hall. And Even Jerry Seinfeld performances aren’t safe. Finally, a call to action (1:09:03).

Greens are literally Nazis, sez The Aus. Emerald and Tom try to get their heads around Peter Dutton’s bold “you will have to wait and see hope you are pleasantly surprised” non-approach to the LNP’s 2030 emissions targets (14:10). Then, new Victorian Greens leader Ellen Sandell joins the show (31:22) to chat housing, Palestine and the fight against new gas projects.

In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom watch and react to the hard-hitting Sky News expose, COMEDY IN CRISIS: How cancel culture is killing laughter. Wait, is Rowan Dean a comedian? Why do the woke mob hate fun? Was it always like this? Is the point of comedy to offend? Is conservative comedy just bullying? Could The Office still be made today, or would the left have Ricky Gervais killed? —-  Subscribe on Patreon to support the show and check out all our bonus Patreon eps with guests like Lee Rhiannon, Geraldine Hickey, Max Chandler-Mather, Michael Berkman, Wil Anderson, Cam Wilson, Tom Tanuki and Jon Kudelka, and deep dives into topics like intergenerational warfare, Taylor Swift, Ralph Babet, THE GIANTS movie and the life of Bob Brown, when Friendlyjordies owned us, war crimes, vaping, psychedelic-assisted therapy, killer robots (with Emerald’s sister!), a debrief of the 2022 federal results, whether the Greens are too woke, the 18-year plan for Greens government, whether lawns should be banned, Greens memes, bad takes, Joe Hildebrand’s small brain, CPAC, Aussie political sketch comedy, internal Greens party shenanigans, and whether a Greens government would lead to the apocalypse. https://www.patreon.com/SeriousDangerAU  Links - COMEDY IN CRISIS on Sky News Youtube - https://youtu.be/VoNudJ2xKkM  Produced by Michael Griffin Follow us on https://twitter.com/SeriousDangerAU https://www.instagram.com/seriousdangerau  https://www.tiktok.com/@seriousdangerau Support the show: http://patreon.com/seriousdangerauSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
