Is Cate Blanchett middle class while also being worth $140 million? Emerald and Tom catch up on the week’s migration news and the DIRECTION NINETY-NINE drama (19:19). Then they are joined by the only good (adult) Aussie journo, Rachel Withers! (31:20) They chat about the failed motion in parliament for Palestinian statehood, Fatima Payman, Julia Gillard’s intervention, the weird AI Rafah meme, and Laura Tingle’s controversial comments that Australia is a racist country. Finally, a call to action (1:10:46).
