Serious Danger

Tom is joined by guest host, Greens Senator for South Australia, Barbara Pocock! (6:53) Did Labor actually do something and improve the CGT and negative gearing? How has homelessness gotten so bad? Why have the NDIS cuts slipped under the radar? And did renters receive anything whatsoever to help?

In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers recorded live at Good Chat in Brisbane, Tom asks Max Chandler-Mather questions submitted by our Patreon listeners!

What was best and worst about being in parliament? Who is the d***est c***? What movies does he watch? Should Greens stop giving Labor preferences? What are his thoughts on the Stafford by-election and the Queensland Socialists? Has being a dad changed his politics? How can we get people to join the movement?

Recorded live at Good Chat Comedy Club in Brisbane, Tom is joined by former Griffith MP and new boss of the Green Institute, Max Chandler-Mather! Why did he lose in 2025? What is next? Then Tully from Tight Knit joins (37:00) to explain how the Brisbane LNP City Council is big, both in size and bad behaviour, and how Tight Knit shows off the circus for what it is. And what do Max and Tully think about the draconian new laws restricting speech in Queensland? (50:56) If you are reading this in Qld, whatever you do, don’t think “from the river to the sea” or I’ll dob you in for thought crimes.
(Producer note - Am I allowed to type it in a podcast description? Is that a knock at the door?)

In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom are joined by Tom’s old Tonightly mate, Aussie comedy legend Greg Larsen!
Why does life feel crazy these days? Did ASIO hide the truth about Greg Hunt and Chris Pyne getting porno-hacked? Did Geggy’s Patreon get cancelled? How could there be a Michael Jackson movie? And why will no one admit the secret brilliance of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation cartoons?
