133: Fatima Resigns, UK Election & Midwinter Ball ft. Rachel Withers

Serious Danger

Emerald is joined again by Rachel Withers, the only good (adult) Aussie journalist! First up is the most important news story of the week - Midwinter Ball, Canberra’s bizarre formal for politicians and journalists. (2:30) Then it’s a recap of the UK election results. (13:08) What were the funniest moments, what does it mean for Australia, and why can’t Auspol Labor hack Ben Davison catch a W? Then it’s Fatima Payman’s resignation from Labor. (34:50) Was this all a Green scheme? Why are Labor being such racist scumbags? Why did sex-novelist weirdo backbencher Graham Perrett tell Adam Bandt to “go f— himself”? Finally, a call to action. (1:04:51)
