Excerpt: Paddy Manning on his book Inside The Greens!

Recorded before the attacks on Iran, Tom is joined by Jan Fran from ETTE Media! Angus Taylor wants to talk about the flag. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese played a stupid game and won a stupid prize, after his gross description of Grace Tame as “difficult.” (29:00) Then, the BAFTA Awards was in the news but its worst act was suppressing support of Palestine. (51:45)
