113: Is Negative Gearing Political Poison? ft. Adam Bandt

Auspol choo-choo-chooses wuv. Emerald and Tom welcome back Adam Bandt, leader of the Australian Greens! First up are the proposed Greens amendments to the government’s Help To Buy program to impose rent caps and limit negative gearing and capital gains tax (16:55). Is it juvenile student politics to not give property barons backrubs? Then an update on Israel’s destruction of Gaza and the imminent ground invasion in Rafah (45:17). Did you know that there are Labor MPs who privately commend Adam then vote for war!?!?! Finally, a call to action (1:02:50) and Abbie Chatfield, call us. Amy MacMahon you’re the best of us, get well soon please. ---------------------------------------- Full video version of this episode at https://www.youtube.com/c/SeriousDangerAUSubscribe on Patreon to support the show and check out over 30 full-length fortnightly bonus episodes, with guests like Geraldine Hickey, Max Chandler-Mather, Lee Rhiannon, Michael Berkman, Wil Anderson, Cam Wilson, Gabbi Bolt, Tom Tanuki and Jon Kudelka, and deep dives into topics like boomers v gen Z, the history of the party, co-operatives, Taylor Swift, when Friendlyjordies owned us, and whether a Greens government would lead to the apocalypse. https://www.patreon.com/SeriousDangerAU Links - We’re doing another live show in Melbourne!
