What would you say during your first speech to the nation? Emerald’s guest co-host this week is Jim Malo, Deputy Editor at Pedestrian and “prolific poster.” They talk about some great speeches from the new Greens MPs and get into the bizarre pomp and circumstance of parliament (2:29), before making predictions for how this new one will go (26:47). Next, they delve into the Manly pride jersey controversy muck (38:38) before finally, a call to action (57:54).
