64: NSW Election Preview (ft. Lynda-June Coe)

49 minutes

Why even bother holding the NSW election, the winner of all seats will clearly be the Liberal Democrats. Emerald and Tom start by celebrating some good news - a successful major four-day workweek trial from the UK (7:13)! After a quick recap of the state of play in the upcoming NSW state election (11:22), Emerald welcomes Greens NSW Upper-House candidate Lynda-June Coe to discuss her campaign and why she’ll be a kick-ass activist member. Finally, a call to action (48:21).

Tom had big tech issues and originally we were going to put an apology here for his bad sound, but we tried using a spooky new AI tool to improve it and I think it’s fixed it enough that the audience won’t complain? Just as long as no one tells them, shhh!
