The world unites to hate on Aussie national heel Raygun. Emerald and Tom take a look at the coalition’s costings for nuclear power, delivered on the last day of school on the back of a beer coaster (11:41). Meanwhile, Tanya Plibersek approves a bunch of coal mines and hopes we won’t notice. Then, culture war! (44:23) Sydney Greens councillor Matthew Thompson tried to end the practice of reading the lord’s prayer before parliament, and opposition leader Peter Dutton wants to stop having Aboriginal and Torres Straight Island flags at gov press conferences. Do symbols matter? Finally, a call to action (1:09:30).

We’ll be back with regular episodes on Jan 12th, but new Patreon bonus episodes are still coming over the break!

Emerald is back and has Taiwan travel tips. Then she and Tom look at the recent anti-semitic and Islamophobic hate crimes in Australia (11:29). What is going on, and is there a double standard? Then, Adam Bandt and the federal Greens are pushing for a new approach with Labor - collaboration to “keep Dutton out” (40:07). Is this good politics or naive “change from within” kowtowing? Should Labor tell the Greens to get stuffed? Finally, a call to action (1:08:08).
