Episode description

In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom ask the question on everyone’s mind - why are the Australian Greens not experiencing the wave of support currently happening for the UK Greens, under their new leader Zack Polanski? How can the Aussie version escape its reputation as a bunch of arts degree inner-city elites? And how much of the recent UK success is a result of the place falling apart? Let’s work this out!
