180 - Senator Nick McKim

Nick McKim is a Tasmanian senator and the co-deputy leader of The Australian Greens. He joined me via Zoom (sorry) from Tasmania to discuss the Morrison government's (sometimes okay but generally shitty) response to the COVID crisis, the neoliberal Labor Party, how this pandemic affects folks in immigration detention and the current Greens' plebiscite on the election of the federal leader.
