175: Election results 2 - Could be better!

Emerald 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.  ---------- Just released on Patreon - “Leo Puglisi from 6 News on how teens are schooling ‘real’ journos” The show can only exist because of our wonderful Patreon subscriber’s support.
