Episode description

Unf*** the f***ing future you f***ing ****ed ****-brained ****s. Emerald and Tom take a look at the Albanese government’s cabinet reshuffle. (10:46) It’s not a house (ing minister), it’s a home (affairs minister), or whatever the right joke is. Then Emerald is joined by Australia’s first Greens senator, Jo Vallentine! (25:30) Have the Greens lost sight of their push for peace, and will Australia’s complicity in the attacks on Gaza change that? Finally, a call to action. (1:01:46)
