So why do you think millennials are turning to One Nation and not the Greens?
Coming up, what is progressive populism and could it work for the Greens?
Is there a comparison to be made with what's happening in the UK at the moment?
Because the Greens have become part of the kind of anti-establishment surge there.
They are taking votes from Labor.
They're polling within sight of the major parties.
Keir Starmer is being replaced, as we speak, by a Labor leader who is considered more progressive.
So what lessons do you think there are there for Australian politicians?
And you're outlining this version of progressive politics that does embrace more populist ideas.
You're really talking about trying to transform the economic system.
Are those ideas, are they resonating within the decision makers that are in the Greens right now?
Also in the news, Labor's controversial NDIS overhaul has been delayed after the Greens secured an eight-week extension to a Senate inquiry into the bill.
The deal means the Greens will back Labor's capital gains and negative gearing changes, including a new move to close a property loophole for self-managed super funds.
The NDIS inquiry is now due to report on August 14, but the Greens say they'll still vote against the bill in its current form after warnings from disability groups, providers and states about the scale and speed of the changes.
And Australia's chemical regulator has decided not to ban the herbicide Paraquat following a decades-long review, despite concerns about a possible link to Parkinson's disease.
The APVMA says Paraquat and Dearquat will remain legal, but under tighter restrictions, including new limits on how, where and when the chemicals can be used.
You can listen back to our episode from Friday, titled Farmers Fear This Weed Killer Made Them Sick.
Why hasn't Australia banned it?
That's in your feed.
