Serious Danger133: Fatima Resigns, UK Election & Midwinter Ball ft. Rachel Withers
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. (1:04:51)
