47: Lidia Thorpe & BoM-shells

Predictions of stormy weather at The Bureau. Emerald and Tom then devote the whole episode to the biggest story in the country (for about 3-6 hours till Liz Truss resigned) - the revelation that Senator Lidia Thorpe had an undisclosed relationship with a former bikie boss (8:21). How bad is it? Is it a stitch-up or are us Greenies all big hypocrites? What next? Finally, a call to action (47:48).
