58: The People’s Pineapple Olympics (ft. Amy MacMahon)

A daring escape from the glue factory. Emerald is joined by guest host, the Greens state member for South Brisbane, Amy MacMahon! First the two chat the cost of food crisis (4:24), before getting into the 2032 Brisbane Olympics (28:16) and the problems it is causing her electorate and the people who live there. Finally, a call to action (1:07:44).

New Patreon bonus ep - Emerald and Tom’s first ever live show together, recorded live at Greens National Conference in Brisbane! They begin with a reading of Andrew Bolt’s sane and measured attack on a sacred cow that has had it far too easy for far too long - Finding Nemo. Then Michael Berkman, Greens MP for Maiwar in Brisbane and EMERALD’S BOSS, joins to talk about his recent ethics referral and the scary future of protest in Australia.
