Emerald and Tom descend on the Rising Tide People’s Blockade, live from the Newcastle Comedy Club! First a look at the blockade, Maurie the Mole and a surprising former role played by Emerald’s dad. Next they are joined by Greens NSW state MP Sue Higginson to talk about the protestival and the state of NSW politics. Then a special yoof guest Rosie, the youngest person arrested at last year’s blockade! The kids are alright!

(Bonus segment from the show - a live dramatic reading from Scott Ludlam’s play AtomicOz coming soon to Patreon!)

"Sydney's a big city, you know, I mean, a couple of hundred bucks, right?” Emerald and Tom check out the government’s new obsession with regulating the internet - kicking kids off of social media, a digital duty of care, and policing misinformation (11:02). Why can children go to jail but can’t go on Youtube? Is this saving the kiddies or a big scam to bring in digital ID? “Who fact-checks the fact-checkers?” Then, a couple of hostile Greens articles in Nine/Fairfax (47:03). Are voters sick of the Greens? Are the Greens sick of each other? What’s the Dorinda Cox situation? Finally, a call to action (1:17:02).

In this bonus series for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom watched the 2022 film How To Blow Up a Pipeline, adapted and fictionalised from the 2021 non-fiction book by Andreas Malm. Is property destruction the answer to the climate crisis, or should the movement embrace non-violence? Speaking of, is property destruction violence? Are the book and film dangerous? What can the movement learn from it? And is it a good watch?
