Slip slop slap. Emerald is joined by returning guest and Senator for Queensland, Penny Allman-Payne! Penny talks about her first year in office before they recap the grim spectacle of the Labor National Conference. Next a dive into what the conference offered for education, and Penny’s campaign to fix the absurd situation of private schools getting more taxpayer funding than state. Then they chat about youth justice, human rights, and the series of scandals unfolding in Queensland Parliament as the government gets up to some truly moustache-twirling anti-democratic antics. Finally, a call to action.
