Serious Danger

<p>Serious Danger is a podcast about our broken political system and its greatest threat: the Greens. Join traitorous SJWs Emerald Moon and Tom Ballard as they discuss the #auspol news of the week, chat to key figures from the left movement, and talk about how to win a future for all of us. This is NOT an official Greens party podcast, but it IS the official podcast of trying to not go insane while experiencing the sh*tshow that is Australian politics.    / Produced by Michael Griffin / Twitter & Instagram @SeriousDangerAU /  <a href="patreon.com/seriousdangerau">patreon.com/seriousdangerau</a> /<a href="seriousdangerpod.com"></a>  <a href="seriousdangerpod.com">seriousdangerpod.com</a> </p>

Finally, a call to action (1:17:08). ---------- New ep just released on Patreon - Inside The Greens #6: Port Arthur, Kyoto, Jabiluka & Scott Ludlam The show can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.

144: The Pesky Door-Knocking, Bill-Blocking Greens

The evils of door-knocking! Emerald and Tom have a quick look at the results from the NSW council elections. Then, Labor would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for you meddling kids and your pesky Greens! First up, Greens beg Labor to actually negotiate if they want to get their Help to Buy housing bill through the Senate (19:02). Then, Greens want the proposed Environmental Protection Agency to actually protect the environment (44:05). Finally, Tom gets in trouble with the French and a call to action (55:05). ---------- New ep just released on Patreon - Inside The Greens #6: Port Arthur, Kyoto, Jabiluka & Scott Ludlam The show can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.

Biden just today pardoned all people who have been arrested for possession of pot, has asked all states to follow suit and asked the FDA to investigate reclassifying marijuana. we are so far behind in Australia on drug reform. I wish I could access medical marijuana that was affordable for my ptsd, it really helps me with anxiety and improves my life considerably better than the PBS medications I take. we need a system that dispenses pot, and medicine through coops and not huge corporate entities though.
