Serious Danger
Emerald Moon & Tom Ballard
Serious Danger is a podcast about our broken political system and its greatest threat: the Greens. Join traitorous SJWs Emerald Moon and Tom Ballard as they discuss the #auspol news of the week, chat to key figures from the left movement, and talk about how to win a future for all of us. This is NOT an official Greens party podcast, but it IS the official podcast of trying to not go insane while experiencing the sh*tshow that is Australian politics. / Produced by Michael Griffin / Twitter & Instagram @SeriousDangerAU / patreon.com/seriousdangerau / seriousdangerpod.com

First they came for my Australia Day pub celebrations, and I did not speak out - because I was not a pub. Tom is joined by guest host, new Greens candidate for the Vic state seat of Prahran, Angelica Di Camillo! First up, a discussion of what’s going on with the Prahran by-election, the allegations against resigning former member Sam Hibbins, and her plans for the campaign (9:40). Then, 1500 Woolworths warehouse workers across Australia are on strike demanding wage increases and refusing to work under AI surveillance (36:24). How is this going to play out? Is this a turning point of workers standing up? Finally, a call to action (53:23).

Emerald is joined again by Rachel Withers, the only good (adult) Aussie journalist! First up is the most important news story of the week - Midwinter Ball, Canberra’s bizarre formal for politicians and journalists. (2:30) Then it’s a recap of the UK election results. (13:08) What were the funniest moments, what does it mean for Australia, and why can’t Auspol Labor hack Ben Davison catch a W? Then it’s Fatima Payman’s resignation from Labor. (34:50) Was this all a Green scheme? Why are Labor being such racist scumbags? Why did sex-novelist weirdo backbencher Graham Perrett tell Adam Bandt to “go f— himself”? Finally, a call to action. (1:04:51)

Teaser: COMEDY IN CRISIS - Sky News vs Cancel Culture
Serious Danger
06/13/24 • 2 min
In this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers, Emerald and Tom watch and react to the hard-hitting Sky News expose, COMEDY IN CRISIS: How cancel culture is killing laughter. Wait, is Rowan Dean a comedian? Why do the woke mob hate fun? Was it always like this? Is the point of comedy to offend? Is conservative comedy just bullying? Could The Office still be made today, or would the left have Ricky Gervais killed?

Canberra Liberals leader gives media the finger, loses election. Emerald and Tom learn that PM Albo bought a mansion and try to work out why exactly it feels so wrong (7:01). Is it his Hawaii moment? Meanwhile a Greens mayoral candidate is alleged to be a moldy slumlord. Then the fight is brewing over schools funding (47:08), from the underfunding of public schools and overfunding of private, to the declaration of war between toffs and Greens. Finally, a call to action (1:10:02).

152: Social Media Laws & Fairfax-Nine on the Greens
Serious Danger
11/16/24 • 78 min
"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).

Greens are literally Nazis, sez The Aus. Emerald and Tom try to get their heads around Peter Dutton’s bold “you will have to wait and see hope you are pleasantly surprised” non-approach to the LNP’s 2030 emissions targets (14:10). Then, new Victorian Greens leader Ellen Sandell joins the show (31:22) to chat housing, Palestine and the fight against new gas projects. Finally, a call to action (1:04:26).

Teaser: We watched ‘How to Blow Up A Pipeline’
Serious Danger
11/14/24 • 1 min
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?
