Serious Danger Emerald Moon & Tom Ballard

Live from Brisbane, it’s one year to the day since the 2022 election! Tom is joined by (this week’s Patreon bonus episode guest) Geraldine Hickey and Max Chandler-Mather, the member for Griffith and Greens housing spokesperson, for an insider chat about the first year of the Albanese government. Then they jump into a deep dive on the HAFF housing bill and future fund. Why is it bad? Why won’t the government negotiate? Why do they HATE Max so much? And what was written on that piece of paper Albo handed them?

In this bonus ep for Patreon subscribers, it’s the first half of our sold-out live show in Brisbane, on the first anniversary of the 2022 election and the Greenslide! Tom is joined by Aussie comedy hero Geraldine Hickey to chat election night memories, coming out as Green to her father, and the passing of Barry Humphries and the ugly rise of anti-trans rhetoric in Australia. The second-half with Max Chandler-Mather is coming soon in the main feed, but this hilarious chat with Geraldine is a Patreon exclusive.

The hip hop treasurer. Tom is joined by guest host from Wankernomics and The Chaser, Charles Firth, to react to the reaction to the budget. What does Charles think of the Greens? After a decade of the LNP, is mediocre the new good? Did anyone watch Peter Dutton’s budget reply? Then, a year to the day since the election, how has the last year gone and how can we get more Greenslides? Finally, a call to action.

The peasants have no bread. Tom is joined by guest host, Victorian Senator Janet Rice, to discuss the ‘No One Left Behind’ budget. Will it help with the cost of living? What good is $2.85 per day? Will this cause inflation? Why are there more gains coming from student debt indexation than from gas tax? Is Max-Chandler Mather a sell-out? Is Penny Wong the most politician-y politician in the country? Oh and, did anyone get left behind?
