Completing our triumphant trilogy* of trilogues** on the Safeguard Mechanism, we’re back and it’s Safe Guard With a Vengeance! That’s right, we’re bringing you a special Rapid Response to Developments as the Safeguard(s?) reforms make their way through the Parliament following the Albanese Government’s deal with the Australian Greens.

And if it wasn’t already Christmas come early for you crazy climatephiles, your intrepid hosts are joined by a very special guest, none other than Guardian Australia’s climate and environment editor, Adam Morton! Adam has been obsessively cataloguing the Safeguard reforms - with a vengeance dare we say - read some of his excellent coverage here.

And that’s all from us this week Summerupperers! We shall see you next time and until then, please keep tweeting your thoughts to us at @LukeMenzel, @TennantReed and @FrankieMuskovic and if you would like to weave some golden threads through our back catalogue, give us your feelpinions or suggest papers to read we are always here for that - hit us up at [email protected].

* See Episode 7 - ‘The last fire in the forest’: The Safeguard Mechanism consultation paper and Episode 17 - New Dork Times: Chubb/Safeguard Special Double Report Report Special, or ‘Safe Guarder’ as we affectionately know it!

** Two of which involved four people!

MASSIVE DOWN & DIRTY DISCLAIMER: We recorded this episode on Wednesday evening, 29 March, and who knows what additional shenanigans may have occurred by the time this ep is hitting your ears! If you’re as tragic as us, you can track the Bill’s progress through Parliament here. Or just read the news!
