How Should The Greens Tackle Labor? Plus, Why Australia's Mamdani Doesn't Exist feat. Tom Ballard

The Greens’ new leaders, the left’s missing populist star, and the government’s hands-off response to the economic slump.

Os is joined by comedian and podcaster Tom Ballard to analyse the Greens new leadership team, discuss whether the media has got any better at how it covers the party, and look at how much the party will actually be shifting its strategy and direction.

They also discus Os' recent article examining why Australia seems to lack a compelling, left-wing political figure like Zohran Mamdani, and if there is any exciting political organising going on in the country.

And later in the show, they talk about why Labor is refusing to be more interventionist in response to the economic downturn, the flawed logic of the RBA, and the frustrating limits the media puts on economic policy debate in Australia.
