Teaser: Young Scott Ludlam writes a play about nuclear war

The evils of door-knocking! Emerald and Tom have a quick look at the results from the NSW council elections. Then, Labor would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for you meddling kids and your pesky Greens! First up, Greens beg Labor to actually negotiate if they want to get their Help to Buy housing bill through the Senate (19:02). Then, Greens want the proposed Environmental Protection Agency to actually protect the environment (44:05). Finally, Tom gets in trouble with the French and a call to action (55:05).
