Janet Albrechtsen is sick of the nanny state and getting eaten by bears. Emerald and Tom look at the proposed RBA reforms and the Greens demand that the government use their existing powers to lower interest rates (10:26). Then they are joined by Liam Flenady, the Greens candidate for Miller (The Griff’s electorate!) in inner South Brisbane (42:42). What is the state of play in the Queensland election, and how has Liam’s experience running Max Chandler-Mather’s campaign informed his run for office? Finally, a call to action (1:17:08). ---------- New ep just released on Patreon - Inside The Greens #6: Port Arthur, Kyoto, Jabiluka & Scott Ludlam The show can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.

The evils of door-knocking! Emerald and Tom have a quick look at the results from the NSW council elections. Then, Labor would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for you meddling kids and your pesky Greens! First up, Greens beg Labor to actually negotiate if they want to get their Help to Buy housing bill through the Senate (19:02). Then, Greens want the proposed Environmental Protection Agency to actually protect the environment (44:05). Finally, Tom gets in trouble with the French and a call to action (55:05). ---------- New ep just released on Patreon - Inside The Greens #6: Port Arthur, Kyoto, Jabiluka & Scott Ludlam The show can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.

In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Tom takes Emerald through the patriots fighting to destroy the Greens scourge facing our nation - Advance Australia! The anti-Get Up!

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.)

Krazy Katter vs the Satanic Olympics. Emerald and Tom unpack the anti-labour Labor party’s CFMEU-busting legislation that was rushed through Parliament this week (11:52). Then they are joined by Remah Naji, the newly announced Greens candidate for the Brisbane inner-south seat of Moreton (39:27). “Colourful” MP Graham Perrett has announced his resignation, and Remah is a former Labor member who realised that the ALP was standing in the way of change. As a first generation Palestinian migrant and community organiser, what is her plan to get some real representation for Moreton? ---------- Just released on our Patreon - a deep dive (lol) into Harold Holt’s vanishing act!
