“ABC star Tom Bollard has unleashed at a woman he met in a pub who voted ‘No’ in the Voice referendum.” Emerald and Tom (Bollard) discuss the current state of Israel’s war on Gaza and the Palestinian people. Why has Australia’s political response been so weak? Then some positivity - the Green MP for Auckland Central, Chlöe Swarbrick, joins to recap last weekend’s election in Aotearoa / New Zealand. Despite a conservative switch of government, four new Green members are joining parliament. What does it all mean? Finally, a call to action.
