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.

Dark Emerald rises. Emerald and Tom reconvene from the other sides of the world (so please excuse some imperfect sound) to watch as The Spirit of Australia, Qantas, flies straight into turbulence. Then it's a cruel summer ahead as the earth experiences its second straight month of all-time temperature records. How can we keep cool as the world burns? Adam Bandt suggests direct action. Cartoonists suggest boycotting the Walkleys (Wokeleys amirite?). Finally, a call to action.

Hi! We are on leave this week so we are unlocking one of our favourite Patreon subscriber episodes. Please enjoy!

Friendlyjordies did an episode about the housing bill and our live interview with Max Chandler-Mather! Did you hear bruz-es and sisters, that Tom called the PM a naughty word!?! Jordies is the tone-police and we are crime! So as a bonus for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom do a reaction video to the Jordies ep, and get into a bigger conversation about his channel, ‘left’ media, ‘shill’ media, and how the various hacks and rusted-ons are reacting to the HAFF bill dispute. We have many thoughts - 75 minutes worth!

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.

As a bonus for our Patreon subscribers, Emerald takes Tom on a journey through the politics of Taylor Swift. Why was she afraid to share her politics publicly? Is she a secret Nazi? Did she exploit queer culture? Is she a feminist icon? Is she slut shamed over her relationships? Is she an eco-terrorist? Can you be a socialist and a Taylor fan? What is the lamest MP attempt to use her to sound cool with the kids? And like, what is the place of pop culture in our capitalist society, man?

It’s Homelessness Week but spare a thought for the Greens-voting landlord. Emerald and Tom check in on the Voice campaign and the recent discussion about Treaty.

Why do people need to know more about the situations in Palestine and India? How did she get into politics? And what is the state of the left and the Greens party - should it aim to be a professional or a protest party, and how should it be engaging with environmental and social issues?
