Episode description

Trudeau forgot “Tony” Albanese’s name. New member for the seat of Brisbane, Stephen Bates joins Tom as co-host. Stephen fills us in on his month as a member-elect (2:48) and this week’s “Parliament School” in Canberra (9:15), before giving his take on the government’s crossbench staffer cuts (12:52). Then they discuss the recent Blockade Australia actions in Sydney and if protest is the only way to create change with the climate clock ticking (23:50). Finally, a call to action (1:08:27).

P.S. In honour of the Grindr ads - “member-erect” Stephen lol
