235: Vic election update with Campbell Gome & Brittney Henderson

In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Tom and Emerald are joined by Belinda Noble, a former journalist who went on to work as Head of Media & Communications for Australian Red Cross and is now the CEO of climate communications charity Comms Declare. They have just released ‘From Cradle to Career,’ a report on how the fossil fuel industry has inserted itself into our schools, and the quest to remove their social license and end their stranglehold on the country. Also, is a Tim Tam slam a valid teaching tool?
