Why does life feel crazy these days? Did ASIO hide the truth about Greg Hunt and Chris Pyne getting porno-hacked? Did Geggy’s Patreon get cancelled? How could there be a Michael Jackson movie? And why will no one admit the secret brilliance of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation cartoons?

Excerpt: Greg Larsen feels crazy watching horny pollies get off

Tom is joined by former ABC mate, journo and now Greens WA MLC member, Sophie McNeill! This week - gas. First up, a look at the state of WA’s captured existence (14:59). Then, the nation wants action! (41:54) A senate inquiry and a push to tax gas exports is growing. Enter… the government, who love money and are indifferent at best towards emissions reductions.

222: Having a gas ft. Sophie McNeill

Tom is joined by guest host, writer Nick Feik, of The Monthly, Crikey, Substack, and author of a spicy forthcoming Nacc investigation mentioned at the end of the show!
It’s hard to work out the current state of the war, but why is Australian media always the first to make excuses? (13:18) Meanwhile Angus Taylor’s Liberal party reaches new lows with his speech on migration and Australian values, whatever they are. (50:18)

221: How media talks war & Angus Taylor’s tirade ft. Nick Feik

In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom ask the question on everyone’s mind - why are the Australian Greens not experiencing the wave of support currently happening for the UK Greens, under their new leader Zack Polanski? How can the Aussie version escape its reputation as a bunch of arts degree inner-city elites? And how much of the recent UK success is a result of the place falling apart? Let’s work this out!

Tom is joined by Mehreen Faruqi, federal senator for NSW and Deputy Leader of the Australian Greens. Can the ‘ceasefire’ in the war on Iran be trusted? And why won’t Australia call out war crimes? (4:36) On that note, Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith was arrested charged with five counts of the war crime of murder! But is he now commander of the culture war? (32:34) Finally, what is the new national anti-racism framework that Australian Human Rights Commission is proposing? How can we fight against Hanson and One Nation’s racism? (48:23)

219: Zack Schofield from Rising Tide on how to stop coal & war

Oh no it was Rita Panahi’s 50th birthday and I forgot to send a card to her embarrassing party boat. Tom is joined by Rachel Withers, writer for Crikey and co-host of Spin Cycle on RRR! First up there is a new buzzword in town as warflation hits Australia. (15:25) Will another rate rise convince Aussie battlers to stop illegally invading Middle Eastern countries? Then Labor is bravely timidly quietly suggesting it is considering changing the Capital Gaits Tax discount? (42:53) Maybe Tim Wilson could write one of his awesome songs about it?

Bonus episode this week on the main feed -
“The case for change from within ft. Labor Against War’s Marcus Strom”

Rally for Palestine Land Day on Sunday March 29th, 12pm State Library in Melbourne 

A day to commemorate the ongoing theft of Palestinian Land

Land Day (Yom al-Ard), observed annually on March 30th, commemorates the 1976 killing of six unarmed Palestinian citizens by Israeli forces during protests against land confiscation in the Galilee. It marks a central day of resistance against ongoing Israeli occupation, illegal settlement expansion, and land expropriation.
