What are you getting your landlord this Christmas? Emerald and Tom talk pork barrelling (6:41) and how voters are being taught to embrace corruption that benefits them. Then Dr David Caldicott joins (18:29) for a rollicking chat about pill testing and drug reform. After, they check out the Greens new Drug Reform policy and talk about the ineptness of current drug laws (44:29). Finally, a call to action (52:33).
Merry non-denominational seasonal festivity! https://junkee.com/nick-mckim-war-christmas/139760
