175: Election results 2 - Could be better!
🕑 Added 2025-05-10 19:00:09 +0000 UTCEmerald and Tom share crazy voting booth stories, before taking a look at the results of the 2025 federal election, one week later. Things only got worse! First, what happened with Griffith and Max Chandler-Mather, Australian politics' own Frank Grimes? (He challenged the status quo, then everyone celebrated his death, because being called out is annoying.) And then, Adam Bandt is out! Who do we speculate as the next Greens leader? How can the Greens possibly fight the corporate power that has united to squash the hopes and dreams of change? What “mandate” are the haters even gloating about? Finally, a look at some of the best and worst takes.

What is Emerald saying at 10:50 the count is of ballots casted, not enrolled

think that’s happened
Georgina. Or maybe Violet.
Great ep overall. Would be good to look at who the potential new Greens leader will be in the next one. Both the NSW Young Greens and the Australian Greens First Nations Network (AGFNN) have endorsed Mehreen. I’m First Nations too (Māori & TSI) and I also think she’d be great as would Larissa Waters (not SHY) but it didn’t seem like Emerald supports Meereen in this ep so maybe she’d like to expand on that?
