First they came for my Australia Day pub celebrations, and I did not speak out - because I was not a pub. Tom is joined by guest host, new Greens candidate for the Vic state seat of Prahran, Angelica Di Camillo! First up, a discussion of what’s going on with the Prahran by-election, the allegations against resigning former member Sam Hibbins, and her plans for the campaign (9:40). Then, 1500 Woolworths warehouse workers across Australia are on strike demanding wage increases and refusing to work under AI surveillance (36:24). How is this going to play out? Is this a turning point of workers standing up? Finally, a call to action (53:23).

Lidia Thorpe throws a piece of paper. Tom is joined by guest host, journalist and commentator Osman Faruqi!

"Sydney's a big city, you know, I mean, a couple of hundred bucks, right?” Emerald and Tom check out the government’s new obsession with regulating the internet - kicking kids off of social media, a digital duty of care, and policing misinformation (11:02). Why can children go to jail but can’t go on Youtube? Is this saving the kiddies or a big scam to bring in digital ID? “Who fact-checks the fact-checkers?” Then, a couple of hostile Greens articles in Nine/Fairfax (47:03). Are voters sick of the Greens? Are the Greens sick of each other? What’s the Dorinda Cox situation? Finally, a call to action (1:17:02). ---------- Just released on Patreon - “We watched ‘How to Blow Up A Pipeline’” The show can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.

In this bonus series for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom watched the 2022 film How To Blow Up a Pipeline, adapted and fictionalised from the 2021 non-fiction book by Andreas Malm. Is property destruction the answer to the climate crisis, or should the movement embrace non-violence? Speaking of, is property destruction violence? Are the book and film dangerous? What can the movement learn from it? And is it a good watch? ---------- The show can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.
