Serious Danger

Live from Good Chat Comedy Club in Meanjin/Brisbane, Emerald and Tom are joined by the federal MP for Griffith, Max Chandler-Mather! After some obligatory ‘Arj Barker vs mums’ discourse, it’s on to a big chat about the state of housing in Australia. How did it get so bad? Can anything be done? Was Max good on Q&A? Then some audience questions including the big one - why does Max trigger Albo and Labor so bad? ---------------------------------------- Bonus live Patreon segment about the madness of Jim Penman aka Jim’s Mowing just released.

The Greens are a nut, they’re crazy in the coconut. Emerald and Tom discuss the horrific stabbing attacks in Sydney last week, the crappy media response, and wonder what will be done to fix Australia’s mental health crisis (7:15). Then they talk about Senator Nick McKim (McKrazy) and his grilling of the naughty Woolworth CEO Brad Banducci in the senate supermarket inquiry (45:10). Why does that man hate answering questions?

In this bonus for Patreon subscribers, live from Comedy Republic in Melbourne, Tom takes Emerald through the fast times and bonkers views of Jim’s Mowing founder Jim Penman. Sadly his political party was only an April Fools joke (Tom being the fool), but his views on how to fix the world are… intense.

Molly the magpie, Peggy the dog and Steven the premier. Emerald and Tom celebrate ‘friend-of-the-pod’ Purplepingers’ media campaign to create a squatters register, and how it has incensed the civility politics crowd (13:06). Then an update on Israel’s endless attacks on Gaza (40:27). Is it finally bad now that they killed World Central Kitchen aid workers? What did Penny Wong have to say? Are the Greens somehow at fault?

Is the CIA going to dismiss Ballard? Emerald and Tom look back on the Tassie election and assess the odds of a future Greens-Labor GLP coalition (14:12). Is it inevitable? Or would Labor rather throw the government out of the pram?

Can I have your vote? Don’t worry about my ankle bracelet. Emerald and Tom react to the Queensland local council elections and state by-elections (8:39). Was it another Greenslide? Is Labor totally screwed for the upcoming state election? Then, the government is looking to introduce changes to political donations and election funds (41:04). This is what the Greens want, right? Or is it a scam to further entrench the two party system?

In ep 2 of our Patreon bonus show That’s My Jam, Emerald and Tom re-open the Kitchen Cabinet and recap some classic eps from 2016. First up is former Greens leader Richard Di Natale. Who even has heard of that guy? Then it's the gruesome twosome Anthony “Albo” Albanese and Christopher “Christopher Pyynnne” Pyne having a disgusting double date and talking about how much they get along and are best buds. Why did Albo sell out so bad? Is Pyne charming or a war crim with a sense of humour?

Oh Craig Kelly you hornbag. Emerald and Tom catch up on three big stories from the week. First up, the LNP has agreed to pass the updated Labor stage 3 tax changes, while meanwhile Wayne Swann is a tory c**t. Next, the senate has rejected a Greens push for a climate trigger mechanism into environmental laws. Coincidentally up in Queensland, Steven “Giggles” Miles approved a new megamine. Then in a strange moment of positivity, Greens have secured Right To Disconnect provisions in the new IR bill. Finally, a call to action. ---------------------------------------- Full video version of this episode at https://www.youtube.com/c/SeriousDangerAUSubscribe on Patreon to support the show and check out over 30 full-length fortnightly bonus episodes, with guests like Geraldine Hickey, Max Chandler-Mather, Lee Rhiannon, Michael Berkman, Wil Anderson, Cam Wilson, Gabbi Bolt, Tom Tanuki and Jon Kudelka, and deep dives into topics like boomers v gen Z, the history of the party, co-operatives, Taylor Swift, when Friendlyjordies owned us, and whether a Greens government would lead to the apocalypse. https://www.patreon.com/SeriousDangerAU Links - Vic Greens special general meeting for members on Sunday March 3rd: https://contact-vic.greens.org.au/civicrm/event/register?reset=1&id=14800  Follow and support Unionists for Palestine: https://www.instagram.com/unionistsforpalestine Kate McCusker running for Dunstan by-election on Saturday March 23rd, 2024: https://greens.org.au/sa/person/katie-mccusker  Serious Danger Merch!!! - https://seriousdanger.bigcartel.com/  Produced by Michael Griffin Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and Patreon @SeriousDangerAUSupport the show: http://patreon.com/seriousdangerauSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
