Serious Danger

Emerald is joined again by Rachel Withers, the only good (adult) Aussie journalist! First up is the most important news story of the week - Midwinter Ball, Canberra’s bizarre formal for politicians and journalists. (2:30) Then it’s a recap of the UK election results. (13:08) What were the funniest moments, what does it mean for Australia, and why can’t Auspol Labor hack Ben Davison catch a W? Then it’s Fatima Payman’s resignation from Labor. (34:50) Was this all a Green scheme? Why are Labor being such racist scumbags? Why did sex-novelist weirdo backbencher Graham Perrett tell Adam Bandt to “go f— himself”? Finally, a call to action. (1:04:51)

President Biden is not going to exploit, for political purposes, his opponent's youth and inexperience. Emerald and Tom dive into so much news - first up in bizarre instances of good things happening, Julian Assange is free and home in Australia! (12:26) Next, pill testing is now permanent in Victoria! (28:25) Then, Labor Senator Fatima Payman crossed the floor to support a Greens motion recognising Palestine! (37:10) But less good arguably, vapes are now banned even moreso! (50:54) Finally, a call to action. (1:12:36)

Tom is joined by streamer and Novara Media regular @NoJusticeMTG aka Helena to preview the upcoming UK election on July 4th. Is this a new dawn for TERF Island or is Sir Keir’s Labour just more of the same? What are the funniest things that have happened over the campaign? What are the chances for the Greens party? Can anything good happen in the UK ever again?

A CEO Sleepout outside the Qantas lounge. Emerald and Tom look at the Opposition’s new definitely-real nuclear power policy (07:21). Are they noobs to be owned, or are they changing the public discourse? Then, there are many recent protests to condemn (40:10) - the office of federal MP for Macnamara, Josh Burns, was vandalised by anti-Israel protestors. “Vile” anti-cop graffiti was sprayed on Vic Trades Hall. And Even Jerry Seinfeld performances aren’t safe. Finally, a call to action (1:09:03).

Greens are literally Nazis, sez The Aus. Emerald and Tom try to get their heads around Peter Dutton’s bold “you will have to wait and see hope you are pleasantly surprised” non-approach to the LNP’s 2030 emissions targets (14:10). Then, new Victorian Greens leader Ellen Sandell joins the show (31:22) to chat housing, Palestine and the fight against new gas projects. Finally, a call to action (1:04:26).

In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom watch and react to the hard-hitting Sky News expose, COMEDY IN CRISIS: How cancel culture is killing laughter. Wait, is Rowan Dean a comedian? Why do the woke mob hate fun? Was it always like this? Is the point of comedy to offend? Is conservative comedy just bullying? Could The Office still be made today, or would the left have Ricky Gervais killed?

Are the Greens oikophobic a.k.a.. afraid of housing? Emerald and Tom are joined by Campbell Gome from the Jewish Greens to ask, DO WE CONDEMN THE GREENS!?! (10:59) Why did Labor and the LNP team up in parliament to call the Greens anti-semitic? Why is Adam Bandt threatening to sue? Do the Greens hate truth and love spreading misinformation? Has everyone totally lost their f***ing minds? Finally, a call to action (1:03:09).

Is Cate Blanchett middle class while also being worth $140 million? Emerald and Tom catch up on the week’s migration news and the DIRECTION NINETY-NINE drama (19:19). Then they are joined by the only good (adult) Aussie journo, Rachel Withers! (31:20) They chat about the failed motion in parliament for Palestinian statehood, Fatima Payman, Julia Gillard’s intervention, the weird AI Rafah meme, and Laura Tingle’s controversial comments that Australia is a racist country.
