The cops have been called in and battle lines have been drawn. The mana whenua of Ihumātao have called on their friends and allies to protect this sacred land from destruction and desecration.

Speaking from the barricades at Ihumātao, Emmy gives an inspiration retelling of the story of struggle so far.

Episode #30: Special Report from Ihumātao, Part 1

Taking a short break from their trip to *definitely not a terrorist training camp*, Ti Skypes in from the occupied territories of Leon, specifically to bully Emmy for being and woke ginger IDpol person. Kendra guest hosts on Justine's behalf too. In Concerned Comrades, we talk about why building the power of the base is the only way to change the world (not stupid and horrible alt-right style nonsense). We also re-establish that Emmy is gross. Because the Labour Party is not your friend, we have sat down with the Labour Party's greatest enemy: Auckland Action Against Poverty. Returning friend of the pod, Ricardo, discusses the govt's response to breadlines outside Work and Income offices. But actually, that segment was snitch the sitch. In the Labour Party is not your friend, Emmy, Kendra and Ti, dissect this further. We also talk about the 1 billion trees policy and why pine trees are awful at sucking carbon but native trees are excellent suckers. We also add a new sub-segment: "Deselect Julie Anne Genter". Finally, we read an article from one of Julie Anne's friends in the business community about climate change. It's definitely not terrible and stupid.
