38: The People vs Terri Butler

Adam Bandt’s fake drug tweet is based. Emerald and Tom react to Terri Butler’s accusations that the Greens are populist (7:41) and delve into a chat about what populism means, whether it is a good or bad thing, and whether the Greens are doing it.  Finally, a call to action (45:59).
