In the second part of this bonus series for Patreon subscribers, Tom takes Emerald through chapter one of author Paddy Manning’s epic history of the Australian Greens movement, “Inside The Greens: The Origins and Future of the Party, the People and the Politics.” Who was the first green party? What is the connection between Bob Brown and the death of Jimi Hendrix? Why are greenies always named Brown? Will this have to become a true crime podcast after a MURDER!? Also, some colourful commentary about former senator Brian Harradine that frankly no one better show news.com.au.

“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.

It’s the morning after the Voice referendum, and Emerald and Tom have a look at the results so far and what we can take from the unsuccessful campaign to enshrine indigenous recognition and a Voice into the Australian constitution. Every Greens seat voted Yes (take that future CPRS-style attack campaigns!) but sadly the clear majority of Australians chose No. Where did the campaign go wrong? What next for the country? Finally, a call to action.

In this bonus episode for our Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom are back from overseas holidays and Emerald is packing some guilt. With the world falling apart, is tourism immoral? Does it gentrify communities? Is the plaything of the wealthy? Does it exacerbate climate change? Are there unexpected benefits? And what nice thing will greenies ruin next?

“The Funny One” is back. Emerald and Tom read a listener question about getting involved with the Greens, what is the best way to help the cause? Then with the Voice a week away, they look at the status of the campaign. What is the Greens First Nation’s Network position? What happened to Tom while pre-polling? What is the state of the ‘progressive no’ position? Also, a fire alarm. Finally, a call to action.

Note - our next episode will be a Voice results update, recording on the Sunday morning, so that should be released later in the day on Sun Oct 15th.

In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, we’re doing a subscriber request episode - all about co-ops! What are co-operatives, i.e. member-owned businesses, and how can they help improve society, as unchecked capitalism destroys us all?! Don’t tell our haters, but Emerald literally reads out Marx quotes in this episode lol.
