Tom is joined by the first Greens-endorsed Mayor of Mparntwe/Alice Springs, Asta Hill! First up, the Macklemore / Ed Sheeran brouhaha has everyone talking. (4:50) Remember when Peter Dutton and Macklemore had a fuss? And Betoota Advocate wins the prize for Most Dogshit Take. Then, a look at Asta’s first year as Mayor. (24:52) Why is The Australian and the rest of Murdoch’s goons trying so hard to attack the region?

In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom are joined by Gokulan Gopal, a Tamil-Indian-Australian and Western Sydney Greens member, for a chat about the politics surrounding Australia’s large Indian diaspora. Why is Albanese chumming around with Modi, and is it just enabling Advance to spread division? How does caste affect everyday life down under? And why are we suddenly drowning in data centres, without any explanation how they will improve our lives?
