Teaser: Young Scott Ludlam writes a play about nuclear war

🎵If you’re gonna keep jacking up the rent / We’re gonna burn down the real estate agency 🎵
Emerald is back and has Taiwan travel tips. Then she and Tom look at the recent anti-semitic and Islamophobic hate crimes in Australia (11:29). What is going on, and is there a double standard? Then, Adam Bandt and the federal Greens are pushing for a new approach with Labor - collaboration to “keep Dutton out” (40:07). Is this good politics or naive “change from within” kowtowing? Should Labor tell the Greens to get stuffed? Finally, a call to action (1:08:08).

Teaser: Inside The Greens #7: 2001 Election, NZ Green Party, Global Greens, Lee Rhiannon

First they came for my Australia Day pub celebrations, and I did not speak out - because I was not a pub. Tom is joined by guest host, new Greens candidate for the Vic state seat of Prahran, Angelica Di Camillo! First up, a discussion of what’s going on with the Prahran by-election, the allegations against resigning former member Sam Hibbins, and her plans for the campaign (9:40). Then, 1500 Woolworths warehouse workers across Australia are on strike demanding wage increases and refusing to work under AI surveillance (36:24). How is this going to play out? Is this a turning point of workers standing up? Finally, a call to action (53:23).

Full live episode from Sydney featuring Mark Humphries and Jenny Leong now available on our Patreon.
