    Excerpt: We discuss Guy Rundle’s take on the Greens flop era

    10/06/2026 | 6 mins.
    In our HUNDREDTH bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom discuss Guy Rundle’s new piece on the state and future of the Greens. First, a bit of a chat about Guy and his history with the party. Then, they unpick his article “Colourless Green Ideas Schlep Furiously: The Greens are at a turning point. And taking the wrong one.” Is Max Hyphen-Name leading the party down a dead end? More like Guy Grumble, amirite?

    228: Labor’s welfare “reform” wank ft. Kristin O’Connell

    06/06/2026 | 1h
    Tom is joined by guest host, spokesperson for the Anti-Poverty Centre, Kristin O’Connell, to talk welfare. First up, the government plays weird games kicking people accused of crimes off of support, but for what aim? (7:49) Then, the government announced sweeping reforms of the welfare sector and mutual obligations. (27:20) Except, these reforms seem awfully familiar. Do I smell Scomo?

    227: One Nation & budget fallout refuse to go away ft. Neha Madhok

    30/05/2026 | 1h 13 mins.
    Tom is joined by guest host, co-founder of racial justice organisation Democracy In Colour, a community organiser and a recent panellist on SBS Insight’s episode on the rise of One Nation, Neha Madhok! First up, an introduction to Neha and Tom asks her for the now obligatory take on the state of the Greens. Then, new polling suggests One Nation is very popular and remains so! (15:53) But why? And what was it like when the cameras weren’t rolling at the SBS Insight episode about the rise of One Nation? Then, fallout from the federal budget continues. (55:30) Are we a nation of temporarily embarrassed billionaires? And how can we start to change people’s minds?
