Pauline Hanson is upset about paper bags for her pointless distraction this week. Emerald and Tom go through the Optus 000 saga after more unanswered calls have resulted in three deaths (7:52). You can’t privatise essential services without breaking a few eggs! Then, a look at the controversial recent Larissa Waters’ appearance on Insiders (35:37), which has brought criticism for her takes on Israel, Manchester and wind farms, and also she said a swear. Five months into her leadership of the federal Greens, is she cutting through? Finally, a call to action (1:18:57).
