On this episode of The Informer we’re looking at last weeks Greens Party pre selection for the seat of Richmond.

 

In a move that caused a stir amongst the parties base, Kathleen Maltzhan was selected for the third time to contest the potentially winnable seat of Richmond in next years state election. Maltzhan has a long standing clash with sex workers, one that potentially threatens her chances of winning.

 

We’ll be talking to sex worker activist Peaches, Clare Quinn, the Victorian Green’s Party Director and a Greens member about what Maltzhan’s candidacy means for the upcoming election. We’ll also be celebrating a very special birthday.

 

This year the Sydney Mardi Gras turns 40, and it certainly isn’t over the hill yet. We look at what’s changed, what’s stayed the same and chat to Creative Director Greg Clarke about some of his favourite Mardi Grasmoments. Look out in that bit for an exceptional joke we have pre prepared for you.

Your hosts for this episode are Cait Kelly, Darcy Meehan and Daniel Roberts.
