In this bonus series for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom are live from The Vanguard in Sydney the day after their Newcastle show on our little mini-tour. First up the big news - full strength beer for all! Next, the government is looking to pass political donation reforms. Will they hurt minor parties? Then they are joined by Jenny Leong, state MP for Newtown, joins to chat the state of the Greens in 2024. Are recent election disappointments a reason to worry? Is 2025 the year for the Greens to take Sydney federally? And Mark Humphries joins to talk parodying the Greens and the Macquarie Word of the Year. Then finally, Tom and Emerald celebrate three years of Serious Danger.

Emerald and Tom descend on the Rising Tide People’s Blockade, live from the Newcastle Comedy Club! First a look at the blockade, Maurie the Mole and a surprising former role played by Emerald’s dad. Next they are joined by Greens NSW state MP Sue Higginson to talk about the protestival and the state of NSW politics.

"Sydney's a big city, you know, I mean, a couple of hundred bucks, right?” Emerald and Tom check out the government’s new obsession with regulating the internet - kicking kids off of social media, a digital duty of care, and policing misinformation (11:02). Why can children go to jail but can’t go on Youtube? Is this saving the kiddies or a big scam to bring in digital ID? “Who fact-checks the fact-checkers?” Then, a couple of hostile Greens articles in Nine/Fairfax (47:03). Are voters sick of the Greens? Are the Greens sick of each other? What’s the Dorinda Cox situation? Finally, a call to action (1:17:02).
