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.

"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).

In this bonus series for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom watched the 2022 film How To Blow Up a Pipeline, adapted and fictionalised from the 2021 non-fiction book by Andreas Malm. Is property destruction the answer to the climate crisis, or should the movement embrace non-violence? Speaking of, is property destruction violence? Are the book and film dangerous? What can the movement learn from it? And is it a good watch?

You’re allowed a week to mourn. Emerald takes Tom through the results of last week’s Queensland election (13:09). Why did the Greens underperform? Did Labor “steal” the Greens policies, or are the Greens being bad losers? Why are Labor gloating about losing? What are the funniest stories from the campaign? And how screwed is Queensland? Finally, a call to action (1:13:07).
