190: Tas-mania, a racist rally & a round table ft. Richard Denniss

Brad Battin coming to you live from the scene of the crime. Emerald and Tom recap the mayhem down in the Tasmanian parliament (7:04), as LNP takes government and now-former Labor leader steps on a series of rakes and somehow it’s those dastardly Greens’ fault. Next up, there’s ‘March for Australia’ rallies being organised for August 31st, and they are a big dog-whistle by all the worst people in the country (24:25). Then they are joined by economist and Executive Director of The Australia Institute Dr Richard Denniss to unpack last week’s Productivity Roundtable (39:44). What is the definition of insanity? Finally, a call to action (1:14:09).
