    Nov 2 2024

    You’re allowed a week to mourn. Emerald takes Tom through the results of last week’s Queensland election (13:09). Why did the Greens underperform? Did Labor “steal” the Greens policies, or are the Greens being bad losers? Why are Labor gloating about losing? What are the funniest stories from the campaign? And how screwed is Queensland? Finally, a call to action (1:13:07).

  • 147: Dealing with the Greens & Fatima’s Voice ft. Rachel Withers
    Oct 12 2024

    Emerald is joined by guest co-host Rachel Withers, our favourite adult #auspol writer. Everyone hates the Greens (12:11), with Labor campaigners running a seminar on how to Deal With them, and Zionist lobbyists trying to get them out of office. Also they look at parliament’s reactions to October 7th, and Fatima Payman has a new political party but maybe not any new political ideas. Finally, a call to action (1:01:15).
