Congratulations Victorian Greens for winning every seat in the state election! Emerald and birthday boy Tom debate whether we should change the voting age to 16 after the recent NZ court ruling (5:43). Emerald is contrarian! Then they talk about electric cars and some new amendments to make them cheaper (35:46), but is the real solution actually cars bad? Finally, a call to action (1:01:27).

New Patreon episode just released - Tom and Emerald chat about Max Chandler-Mather’s free breakfast passion project, how it makes kids happier and better students, and why means testing ruins everything.
