57: Why Is Crossing The Floor In Parliament So Badass?


Listen Later

Any new year's resolutions? Nurse your hangover while Emerald and Tom discuss some juicy internal Greens party stuff. Firstly, why is the party leader decided by elected MPs instead of members (4:08)? Then conscience votes - are they a good thing and why do the public think crossing the floor is so cool (31:54)? Finally, a call to action (51:43). Happy new year!

New Patreon bonus ep just released! Emerald and Tom’s first ever live show together, recorded live at Greens National Conference in Brisbane! They begin with a reading of Andrew Bolt’s sane and measured attack on a sacred cow that has had it far too easy for far too long - Finding Nemo. Then Michael Berkman, Greens MP for Maiwar in Brisbane and EMERALD’S BOSS, joins to talk about his recent ethics referral and the scary future of protest in Australia.
