In this bonus series for Patreon subscribers, Tom takes Emerald through chapter 5 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.” In this instalment - the German Greens behave badly, the 1993 election and Paul Keating, the WA Greens step into the picture, and Gough Whitlam turns out to be a secret Greens supporter!?
