Serious Danger Emerald Moon & Tom Ballard

Pauline Hanson vs Mehreen Faruqi. Emerald and Tom discuss violence against women in Australia, following protests against gendered violence across the country (15:54). Is the problem getting worse? What happened with Albo’s icky appearance at the Canberra rally? What is being done to help the situation and how should we approach it as non-carceral socialists? Finally, a call to action (54:30).

SUPPORT THE FREEDOM FLOTILLA

OSLO, NORWAY: The Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s (FFC) vessel Handala set sail to several Northern European countries today. Handala’s “For the Children of Gaza” mission departs from Norway to challenge and break the inhumane blockade of Gaza and to shed light on the consequences of the inhumane measures taken against Palestinian children by Israel, with the support of the US and other countries, despite the global outcry for a permanent cease fire and the end of an occupied Palestine.

Live from Good Chat Comedy Club in Meanjin/Brisbane, Emerald and Tom are joined by the federal MP for Griffith, Max Chandler-Mather! After some obligatory ‘Arj Barker vs mums’ discourse, it’s on to a big chat about the state of housing in Australia. How did it get so bad? Can anything be done? Was Max good on Q&A? Then some audience questions including the big one - why does Max trigger Albo and Labor so bad?

The Greens are a nut, they’re crazy in the coconut. Emerald and Tom discuss the horrific stabbing attacks in Sydney last week, the crappy media response, and wonder what will be done to fix Australia’s mental health crisis (7:15). Then they talk about Senator Nick McKim (McKrazy) and his grilling of the naughty Woolworth CEO Brad Banducci in the senate supermarket inquiry (45:10). Why does that man hate answering questions? Finally, a call to action (1:02:17).

In this bonus for Patreon subscribers, live from Comedy Republic in Melbourne, Tom takes Emerald through the fast times and bonkers views of Jim’s Mowing founder Jim Penman. Sadly his political party was only an April Fools joke (Tom being the fool), but his views on how to fix the world are… intense. After the live segment, Emerald and Tom reconvene to read a crazy Vice article about the living legend. Jim’s Eugenics?!?

Molly the magpie, Peggy the dog and Steven the premier. Emerald and Tom celebrate ‘friend-of-the-pod’ Purplepingers’ media campaign to create a squatters register, and how it has incensed the civility politics crowd (13:06). Then an update on Israel’s endless attacks on Gaza (40:27). Is it finally bad now that they killed World Central Kitchen aid workers? What did Penny Wong have to say? Are the Greens somehow at fault? Finally, a call to action (1:11:39).
