In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom are joined again by outspoken WA climate activist Gerard Mazza. Has the federal government become a big version of the arrogant, gas-obsessed WA Labor weirdos? What is next in the fight? Will new laws make even posting about a non-illegal protest illegal? And how is he going to celebrate his restraining order against Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill ending?

Excerpt: Inside the Greens #11: Dual citizens, Trump & Gonski

We will be back with regular episodes starting next week, but for now here is an unlock of a favourite bonus episode from our Patreon. Emerald is back! And joined by Tom to meet Sean Kelly, former Labor staffer and current journalist, to discuss his new Quarterly Essay, “The Good Fight: What Does Labor Stand For?” Are Labor cowardly cowards, or clever pragmatists who know how to play the game? What is Anthony Albanese actually up to? How can the Australian left movement get our own “Mamdani At Home”?
