225: Budget Losers 2026 ft. Senator Barbara Pocock

What was best and worst about being in parliament? Who is the d***est c***? What movies does he watch? Should Greens stop giving Labor preferences? What are his thoughts on the Stafford by-election and the Queensland Socialists? Has being a dad changed his politics? How can we get people to join the movement?

Excerpt: Live Q&A with Max Chandler-Mather

Recorded live at Good Chat Comedy Club in Brisbane, Tom is joined by former Griffith MP and new boss of the Green Institute, Max Chandler-Mather! Why did he lose in 2025? What is next? Then Tully from Tight Knit joins (37:00) to explain how the Brisbane LNP City Council is big, both in size and bad behaviour, and how Tight Knit shows off the circus for what it is. And what do Max and Tully think about the draconian new laws restricting speech in Queensland? (50:56) If you are reading this in Qld, whatever you do, don’t think “from the river to the sea” or I’ll dob you in for thought crimes.

(Producer note - Am I allowed to type it in a podcast description? Is that a knock at the door?)
