City councils vs cartoon watermelons. Tom is joined by guest host Alex McKinnon, co-founder of Deepcut News! First up, a politician expenses scandal has hit (23:52). Are these just distractions running from a template? And are Greens just as bad as the majors? Then, the under-16s social media ban hits (50:21). Will kids just instantly get around it? Why does breakfast radio continue to set the agenda in Aussie politics? Finally, a call to action (1:12:50). ---------- Just released on Patreon - Inside the Greens #11: DiNatale’s black skivvy & Senate voting reform The show can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.
