• 171: Bandt’s giant toothbrush & how to vote in Macnamara

  Congrats to Dutton for winning the first debate (presumably?), and to Jason Clare for not knowing the second one existed. Emerald and Tom take a look at Adam Bandt’s appearance at the National Press Club (10:26). Greens want to wind back handouts for property investors, and of course that whole dental and mental into Medicare thing. Then, a look at the seat of Macnamara in Melbourne (41:18). Why wasn’t the Greens candidate Sonya Semmens welcome at the Jewish Community Election Forum? Will Josh Burns bravely choose to not do how-to-vote cards? (Spoiler - that’s what happened.)

• BONUS: Meet the Candidate - Luc Velez for Sydney

  Seventh up in our series of bonus episodes interviewing Greens candidates for the upcoming federal election, Emerald and Tom meet Luc Velez - organiser, activist, Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras board member, and candidate for the seat of Sydney! Is it true Tanya Plibersek has been in parliament for longer than Luc has been alive, and is this the election that Sydney realises that she is actually responsible for all those mines she keeps approving? Why is Luc against the police and the PM marching in Mardi Gras? And who stitched him up with an AI cardigan candidate photo!?! ---------- These bonus election episodes can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.
