Bill “would you prefer we do nothing!?!” Shorten is back at it. Emerald is joined by guest co-host Jordon Steele-John, Greens senator for Western Australia. First up they discuss the dangerous new cuts to the NDIS (8:25). Then the government and the ABC join forces to attack the union movement and the Greens in response to CFMEU corruption allegations (29:39). Do you think that potential Green voters will warm to the image of Max Chandler-Mather giving full-throated support to a militant union that has enabled the infiltration of organised crime into its business?

Krazy Katter vs the Satanic Olympics. Emerald and Tom unpack the anti-labour Labor party’s CFMEU-busting legislation that was rushed through Parliament this week (11:52). Then they are joined by Remah Naji, the newly announced Greens candidate for the Brisbane inner-south seat of Moreton (39:27). “Colourful” MP Graham Perrett has announced his resignation, and Remah is a former Labor member who realised that the ALP was standing in the way of change.

A short little ten minute debate about Raygun. Emerald and Tom answer a listener question about writing to your MP and what is the best way to get them to listen (11:35). Then it’s a smorgasbord of Labor cowardice and disappointment. First, Vic Labor has abandoned their commitment to raise the age of criminal responsibility to fourteen (17:31).

A CEO Sleepout outside the Qantas lounge. Emerald and Tom look at the Opposition’s new definitely-real nuclear power policy (07:21). Are they noobs to be owned, or are they changing the public discourse? Then, there are many recent protests to condemn (40:10) - the office of federal MP for Macnamara, Josh Burns, was vandalised by anti-Israel protestors. “Vile” anti-cop graffiti was sprayed on Vic Trades Hall.
